I love it here, I truly do, but....... Am I the only one who wishes this site would spruce up a bit with a better homepage?  It is the same old page that comes up when you are thinking about signing up..........just a suggestion~

I never ever see the homepage.   I have my watched discussion  page saved on my icon bar and just click there.   It takes me to my watched discussions first and then I go from there to wherever I need to go.   I don't think I've seen the homepage in months except when I first sign on at a different computer.

I think in the last newsletter they said they were going to change it soon. 

Personally, I have my account bookmarked and almost never see the home page.

I thought it was  more then 6 months ago, but i don't remember dates real well.  It took awhile to get all the the bus out when they last revamped it.

If i log on with Firefox, I go to google and if I log on with IE then I go to my banking web page......THEN I go to PBS!

I never see the home page, either. I'm bookmarked to my account. They're always changing things around here, though, generally for the better, so it's probably on a list somewhere.

I think they try to be aware that not everyone has a new computer and/or a high-speed connection, so there are some areas that could be flashier that are fairly spare for those of us on dial-up or, like me, stuck with a 10 year old computer.

I would really like it if it automatically took me to my account page instead of the introductory page. It would make a lot more sense. I'm already a member, so I don't need the introduction that is intended to get people to join.

 I have my watched discussion  page saved on my icon bar and just click there.   It takes me to my watched discussions first....

How do you create a "watched discussions page"?   Can't say that's something I ever thought of but it seems like a great idea--and I have no idea how to do it.
