in reply to Preferred Default Page

Hello and thanks jdporter,

maybe I missed the sense of your last sentence.. but I tried to put Newest Nodes as preferred default page but it seems I'm always redirected to Monastery Gate.

    Did you try the ID 3628 and re-logged in again?

    Edit

    Probably some kind of form evaluation /\d*/ wouldn't be bad.

    And adding the word "ID" to the label.

      Ok I tried to re Login and I'm shown a bunch of popular targets.

        Hey. Glad you're back. Would you like to go to your home node, to The Monastery Gates, to Newest Nodes, to Recently Active Threads, to XXX or back to Login? Or perhaps you want to ask a Perl question?

      Here the last-2 option is the page I've configured in settings.

      I agree that's not what I thought it does.

      But it doesn't bother me either. :)

        Thank you for trying it out. :-)

        As I said above, the setting is currently only respected in the Log In page. The plan is to have it respected in other places as well. Do you have any ideas where it could be used?

        (That's actually a little bit of a lie. It is also respected in Update Userspace Links, but I don't mention it because that page is restricted to members of pmdev.)
