Home Page 'Recently Answered'

[Etch]

I've noticed that questions/threads in the 'Editor's Blog' category don't appear on the AB home page 'Most Recent' and 'Recently Answered' tabs:
https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/?cftype=recently_answered#container-tabs
I can understand why questions in categories like 'Quizzes & Puzzles', 'Crosswords' and 'ChatterBank' aren't shown, but is there any reason to keep 'Editor's Blog' questions hidden?

etch, Editor's blog is in the list of categories top right.

This is in latest posts

[bobbinwales]

OK just spotted it's not under the recent posts tab though

[dannyk13]

Ignore my post, misunderstood the question.

[Etch]

dannyk13; yes, I know how to navigate to 'Editor's Blog' to see if there are any new questions, or replies to older ones, but I like to use the 'Recently Answered' tab on the AB home page to see the latest posts across all categories and decide if any are worth looking at.

Etch, see post at 11.39

Yes, dannyk13 - crossposted

... and ABEditor22's friendly greeting in 'Editor's Blog' also fails to appear on the home page 'Most Recent' or 'Recently Answered' tabs.

Etch.I don't really understand what you are getting at.If you click on a category,including editor's blog, then 'recently answered etc appears. If you then click on a thread it doesn't.

[dannyk13]

Etch, click on Editor's Blog and then click on'recently answered' and you will see AB editor 22's thread.

dannyk13 - yes, I know how to go to each category and see the latest posts in that category, but that means visiting each category to see what new questions/answers there are, whereas the home page shows questions/answers across all categories - except for certain categories, which for no obvious reason includes 'Editor's Blog'. The other 'excluded' categories I can understand, because of the volume of 'trivial' posts to them, but 'Editor's Blog' doesn't get a large number of posts, and those that are made are worthy of being brought to people's attention, I would have thought.

[dannyk13]

Etch, it is obvious that you can't every category shown page on the home page. It is page I never visit as I can get all the information I need from visiting categories, after all it is just one click away.

[Etch]

dannyk13, most other categories ARE shown on the home page! At the moment the 'Most Recent' list shows questions in:
How it Works
News
Politics
Body & Soul
Motoring
Family
Home & Garden
Film, Media & TV
Technology
Society & Culture
Travel

Can't you see that to go to each of the above categories, and others that I might be interested in, to see if there are any new posts takes more than just "one click"?

[dannyk13]

OK.
