This is definetly convinient! You don't want new people getting lost or to a certain point frustrated because they can't find anything or understand. Although, maybe an even cooler thought is that everything could be organized either alphabetically, categorized by type of thread, or even grouped chronologically. But myabe that's just for the organized cumpulsive minds, such as myself.
Any how this new "option" is definetly good for those who can't stand to see so many threads at once and to some point ... it is even more organized .. which is absolutely a PLUS!!!

Thank You for making this site even COOOLER to browse around in!!

Brandon this completely rocks. I agree with Franchesca below me. This is extremely convenient. You're awesome.

I've been hoping you could make something like this for a long time. Thank you very much, I love this feature.

Just out of curiousity, what do people filter out for their portal page?

I really filter out nothing, I don't play Fantasy FIRST or anything, but still like to look at the threads, out of boredom ofcourse.

But I think this will be a useful feature during the build season. That's when people post like crazy, and some people don't really need to look at all threads. For example, I would rather spend time looking at Technical forum than Chit-Chat during the build season, but now since the post rate is so low, It's interesting to look at both.

I've taken out:

Career, Moderated Disscusion, Programming, Control System, IT/Communications, Off-Season Events -CDI/OCCRA, First Historians, FIRST Related Organizations, Games/Trivia, Fantasy FIRST, Car Nack's Corner, Televised Robotics, Math and Science, FIRST Lego League, Old Forum Archives.

I really like it this way. It allows me to do all of my "forum surfing" right from the portal page w/ a tabbed browser.
