  • I agree - its becoming very annoying with the way you lose a thread so easily from the front page.
  • Couldn't agree more. I don't really get involved with the challenges (more of a lurker here), but have noticed more and more first time posters whose pleas for help are going unnoticed because they've dropped off the front page in a matter of minutes (before one of the regulars has had a chance to see it and reply).

    This is a great idea.

    As well as seeing people who need help and need it now, I think it would be easier to find the challenges as well so more new people could take part.

    I agree too :)

    I agree, I don't post much, I'm more of a lurker, but would find the board easier to navigate if it was separated out in this way.

    Definitely agree. January is when many new people come onto the forums trying to find help and advice because their finances have spiraled out of control. Sometimes Christmas has been the straw that broke the camel's back. With all the challenges a simple plea for help can be on page two or three very quickly and easily missed.
