I´d love to set in my profile wich forum channels I want visible in the forum topics area on the first page of NintendoLife. How about two tabs, one with my favourites (Wii, Wiiware and VC) and one tab looking as it is today. So many interesting game related threads drowns in the never ending river of stupid topics of General discussion channel. I´m glad I don´t have to read them but would be much happier not knowing about them at all.
The forum topics area also should hold the 10 most recent posts instead of todays 5.

I too have thought how having the 10 most recent topics on the front page would be much better. And yes, there are a few topics I'd LOVE to ignore, and some that I frequent, which I'm sure others would love to ignore more so.

The front page does have the 6 most recent posts from the forums on it, but I agree a filter would be a nice addition.

@Sean: I have now counted the number of recent posts on a number of versions of IE and Chrome all on xp. I also tried Opera on Wii, I always see 5 posts. What browser, OS do you use?

It is five; must have miscounted.

great idea, hope its added to the to do list.
