Trending Homepage
The way this has been done seems really strange.
It may be a great new feature and I may well like it a lot, presenting it to all users so that they get a look at it may be a great idea.
Not providing a simple link to see the old Forums List at my whim seems daft. Just a button - "Forums List" - I may well have left the Trending page as my home page if this had been possible.
Once a user has gone through the rigmarole to get the forums list back there is no way that I can find to get access to the new Trending page - Perhaps a button - "Trending Topics".
It's a Marmite thing - One or the Other - never shall they mix.
Finally - the design of the Trending page seems to me to leave something to be desired - I think it is pretty ugly and the use of huge fonts seems to make it that there is not much on the page. I may have other comments on it but I can't see the Trending Page without going through the UserCP and setting the thing back - no thanks.
Hope you find my efforts useful.
