I actually used to navigate the site that way but I have broadened my interests and now do read some of the other areas like the TC, Cold Hardy and other plants sections so it's easier to just click the "Daily Posts" button.

Here is an idea for Jarred. Is there a way to code the board so that the only way a person can see anything in the Tiki Hut is by actually entering that area? This way the new posts or daily posts buttons wouldn't show anything but plant areas. Just a thought.
Thanks Mitchel, its a good idea.
What we can also do is create an Adults Only / Mature area (or give it an even better name) and make people A) "log in" and then, B) "opt in" to that section to participate. Then the Tiki Hut can be kept even cleaner and all the obscenity, foul language, politics, religion, amputation, non-plant death, hunting, dirty jokes, and other forms of controversial topics can be kept inside there. And it'll basically be a free for all. Offenders and people who make casual mistakes will get their threads moved into said section. And we could easily exclude it from showing up in the daily/new posts links.
Any other ideas to enhance the upcoming changes? Thanks for your help, I think we're finding a better way to handle things moving forward.
