General Discussion or bust!
It seems to me that site navigation here, is rather complex.
Some sections like 'feedback' for example, are so complex and maze like, I'm wondering if there's a Goblin King singing away in the middle. You can see the most recent topic in a section in the section header, but can't actually find it again, once it's no longer the most recent topic.
One of the main problems, unlike other forums there isn't (as far as I can see) a 'recent topics' or 'topics since last visited' button.
So I'm finding that unless I have copious amounts of time I generally only look in 'General Discussions' or 'Participated Discussions'; meaning that large amount of topics do not get the views they deserve.
It also means that topic authors always plum for 'General Discussions'; as anything else will mean the topic being lost in a space similar to the background on the right and left of your screen now! " you see that star near the top, on the left of your screen now? No, not that one, the one a bit lower and to the right.......that's a brilliant little topic about Lando I wrote!" Sadly never to be seen again!
Many an author has logged on excitedly, to see how their topic is doing only to see that the topic grim reaper has paid a visit.............................................................................................................................................................................................Those 4 words of dread, written in red 'Post edited by crzydroid ' Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the author cries in disappointment, knowing that their topic will never ever ever be seen again.
Which is the crux of the problem, and the topic title. This site really does feel like 'General Discussion or bust!' For topic authors.
Any other topic section really is just stars lost in space.....
