this seems like it will be great for keeping an eye on...say...lens reccs, etc. Start a forum on Nikkor or Canon lenses and peoples likes and dislikes about them, and not clutter up the forums with repeat posts. COOL! And breaking them into primes/fixed, zooms within a specific range, macros. Awesome!
Thanks, Ben & Karen. As I hit the Post button, I was thinking this is probably a preference setting, and I should check so I don't look like a fool. Ready for my dunce cap icon...

Love the new forum features, thanks D&L!!!! One minor additional suggestion, when I set thread to "ignore" it would be great to be taken back to the Homepage instead of staying in the thread. Just a thought :)
I know that as a web-surfer/consumer, this is honestly one of the best sites I have used, commercial or non. I certainly appreciate the thought and work that has gone into this also. My thanks, too!
When and where? You might have gotten them for a second about 10 minutes ago while I was fixing something, but it literally should have only lasted about 10 seconds.
A BIG thank you to Drew & Langdon for their fine work! I love that the thread folders turn gray when you've looked at them and purple again when there's something new to read!
Overall, the forums are going to be way handier now!

Hmmm... I got several just before I wrote my message and last night the home page was just a php error message for about half an hour. I'll copy them if I get them again.
It looks like the Recent Activity Forum Threads value is in effect before ignored threads. My setting is 30, but fewer than that show up on the front page now. It should be a relatively easy thing to fix.

Do you mean that it picks 30 and then ignores, rather than ignores and then picks 30?

Yes, simply based on the output. There may be other imposed limits (like time, etc.), but it seems a reasonable conclusion. If it ignored, then picked 30 I wouldn't report fewer than 30 on the front page.
The recent forum activity is cached to ease strain on the server. I believe it caches 100 threads. I believe your situation could be well-explained if you're ignoring very high numbers of threads. If this becomes a problem, we can adjust the cache value -- but raising that number will have some effect on site performance, though hopefully negligible.
love the email feature, thanks! would it be possible to add the text of the post into the email message rather than just a notification that there is a new post? It would be more productive to be able to see if the latest post is something you want to reply to rather than having to get to the web page to see that it is not.
What did dpcers do to deserve new features?
kidding....
Thankyou for the enhancements, more reason to hang out here!
Dpc is the best but Drew and Langdon are even better!!:)
