Most of you probably have noticed that we have several new forums that are populated by RSS feeds. The Industry News forum pulls news stories and blog posts from several automotive sources. If you frequent a particular automotive blog or website and want to see it cross-posted on 3geez, let me know and I can see if they have an RSS feed.
The other RSS forums are for eBay. We are part of the eBay Partner Network now, and one of the benefits of that is the ability to use RSS feeds to bring relevant eBay content right to the board. So you'll notice a constant stream of postings from eBay. These forums are searchable and organized by generation. I'll make an effort to delete threads after 30 days so that there isn't too much data to sift through.
I understand that the sheer volume of posts in the eBay forums caused excessive clutter when using the Activity Stream, New Posts button and Today's Posts button. I have fixed this by editing the New Posts and Today's Posts buttons to exclude the eBay forums, and the Activity Stream has been disabled completely. I never liked that the Activity Stream was the default page for the board and not the forum itself. Plus, it was pretty redundant, seeing as we have activity feeds in the forum sidebar, as well as the New Posts/Today's Posts buttons themselves. It seems that folks here prefer using the New Posts button to find new threads, so there wasn't any reason to keep the Activity Stream anymore. It can be brought back by popular demand, but I do not favor making it the default home page for the board.
