Where have the latest news links gone from the first page?

**wichi850262** · 02-28-2011,10:44 AM

I really liked the links that were posted on the first page, so that we could quickly see if there was any new news.

Has it really gone for good and is there any plans to put it back?

Cheers!

Sadly that block was being controlled by the Twitter API, it display the our last five tweets on the latest news.

And sadly also Twitter is having major growing pains, and as such they are throttling the API's, and with over 20,000 users at any one time refreshing the page, we PSX-SCENE were basically causing a DDOS to Twitter.

We are looking at replacing it with a small sidebar box with the "Hottest & Recent threads"

Yes, I too... sadly, miss the news links at the top. I remember it as if it were yesterday. Oh why oh why did it have to go...

if i'm correct, there is a vbulletin modification that can display 5 latest post (or 10) from any section/category you want.
