Link to RAT in Login Welcome page?

Currently the login welcome page links to Newest Nodes. Many feel that Recently Active Threads provides a better view of recent activity. Is it "many" enough to make it worth changing the login welcome to link to RAT instead of NN (or perhaps provide both links)?

Update: with a little assistance the RAT link has now been added.

There is a link to RAT on every page ... it's in the top right corner above the "Need Help??" link in between Poetry and Newest Nodes	[reply]

Indeed so. In fact each of the "in ya face" links on the welcome page has an entry in the link block. Doesn't seem to have prevented the author(s) of the welcome page from thinking it helpful/friendly/cute/... to feature them prominently as has been done. Having the link block on every page doesn't stop me having a RAT bookmark button in my browser tool bar either. There are so many links in that block that I don't see any of them most of the time. Having the links sorted or grouped in some fashion might help, but that's another discussion. Perl is environmentally friendly - it saves trees	[reply]

Although I prefer Newest Nodes over Recently Active Threads I can understand your request very well, and support the idea to link to both of them.	[reply]

I prefer "Recently Active Threads" over "Newest Nodes" myself. At least for now.	[reply]

IMHO the question is, to a huge extent, moot. Users can easily bookmark their favorite starting pages in a myriad of ways; I don't think the login page should be a place for us to guess what the most likely ones are. In fact... I think I've just convinced myself that the NN link should simply be removed. But if it were changed from NN to RAT, I wouldn't mind terribly. I never use that link. :-) A word spoken in Mind will reach its own level, in the objective world, by its own weight	[reply]
