If you click on Forums in the Nav bar you will land on a new page. If you wish to be able to visit the catch all landing page the way we have had the site in the past bookmark the following link

http://www.hawkeyenation.com/forum/

Also, in the new redesign we will have it so where when you hover above the word forum, the entire list of forums will be there for you so you will not have to go to this new landing page each time. We'll also have a 'Catch All' link too

I already had that puppy bookmarked. Good work sir.

I hate this...why not keep it like it was?

I'm not getting anything when I hover over forums. Anyone else?

[JonDMiller]

The hover option will not be there til redesign complete. Should be late next week.

I realize some don't like change. But you have the ability to bookmark the old landing page. And once the hover option is there the catch all option will be in the drop down list

Not a fan of this setup at all. I liked the forum page the way it was. Just my two cents.

Which is why you can still bookmark the landing page you wish to see, and in a week or so, the forum dropdown menu will include that very same catchall landing page.

Also, when you are in a thread, you can go back to the old landing page by clicking on 'HawkeyeNation Forums' right next to where it says 'Here you are' under the header

This is just like the other sites now. I'm not saying there aren't ways for us to get around it, but I liked it when it went to the catch alls first then could search the individual forums. That way I could keep up with what others were saying. I think the drop down will be nice, but so much easier the other way. I'm sure we'll all get used to it, but figured this forum was for our feedback so here it is.

Do not like. It doesn't reflect the pulse of the nation. Like google anything not in the top half of the page gets ignored. Your "Hawkeye Mashup" page views will fall off a cliff because many (especially those on thier smart phones) won't take the to wait for it to load and scroll down to the bottom to look for it.

I will take all feedback into consideration. The good news is that this aspect is not hard to change...I can also create a landing page that is a catch all, minus the Off Topic posts and you'd have to click on that forum to read them...or have the Catch All when you hover over the Forums page.

Again, if you like the Catch all, I would suggest bookmarking that and landing here via that bookmark...that is what I do.

We'll see how it goes, and make a decision that satisfies a few needs....I dont mind the off topic stuff, but this time of year it can dominate the board and that causes some people to want to stay away....I dont want that...but also want to give those that engage in the OT stuff an outlet...cuz I enjoy those sometimes.

I am going to create a Mashup forum for each day's offering.

Talk to your core Jon, you know who the alpha consumers are, and you know what they like. If you spend all your time worrying about the A's and Z's you'll lose a lot of sleep.

BTW I'm fully aware that people with high post counts might not be your core.
