    We're happy to announce our new homepage for Hip Forums.

    You can see the "Home" link at the left of the menu bar.

    This page will get updated periodically with new articles and other features soon.

    It's meant as a landing page for our visitors.

    Did you know that we can now "promote" any post or blog entry into an article that will appear on the front page!

    So whenever we come across something of interest to everyone, we'll promote it to an article.

    When we do that, the post is copied (and possibly edited by us) and posted in the articles section of the site.

    One restriction is that we'll need to post up a related image, so we prefer to promote posts with at least one related image, otherwise we'll have to find some image we can use.

    So enjoy this new feature and check the homepage out once a day to see if we have new content to show you.

    Hi Skip,
    On the right hand side of the homepage, there is a section titled "Latest Posts." I can't read the text as it is white on a pale blue background. Is there any posibility of changing the color of the text, or background, so as to make it easier to read? Down below there are sections titled "Recent Articles" and "Recent Topics" which have purple backgrounds thus making the white type face easy to read.

    Thank You, VS

    This thread is about the new Hompage located here:
    http://www.hipforums.com/forumhome.html

    There is no "Latest Posts" block there.

    On our main forum page, there is such a block but it is not as you described if you are using the correct theme, which is selected in the lower left hand corner of every page.
    It should be set for "New Forum". If you are using any other template, we don't support the use of any other template (except mobile), including the default (which ppl can use if they can't stand the new theme).
