Could you put some thought into this when you get a chance? I feel like potentially high interest areas (the sandbox) are very low on the page, while low interest areas (the lounge) get prime real estate.
I think I’d move the lounge to the bottom, and move the sandbox to be right under the professional stuff.
I’d probably leave “welcome to discourse” at the top, for new posters… Despite it’s lack of long term interest.
I’d put site feedback, the lounge, and the staff areas towards the bottom, with the private groups below them.
Oh, the burn, when you do something deliberately and people think it’s just random .
My thinking was in order of interest/popularity. Exams first, then the lounge/sandbox as they’re the equivalent of the old NAT, then professional, then careers, with site suggestions and private groups last.
I further suggested to T that we combine the lounge and the sandbox, otherwise retaining the same order. T wanted to retain the lounge.
Thus, what we have. Not disagreeing that it needs to change, just explaining the results.
T? Anyone else? Thoughts? I don’t care what the order is, I just figured that we want the popular ones up top, and exams at the first since that’s where newcomers are likely to go first.
Ah, I think I found my problem. For some reason, the sandbox category was muted in my settings. I changed that to “normal” and it’s back near the top, where it belongs.
I have ignored a category - but am still getting posts from subcategories under it showing up in my “latest” list. I can’t find a setting to address this.

I’ll send you a PM or something.
