Two changes to this:

1 - the filters you select on the Hot Topics page, now apply to the front page, too (uncheck 'politics' and they won't appear on the front page, either)

2 - if you hover over the title bar, a drop-down will allow you to filter the categories (note: if you see garbage, you need to refresh your browser)

Good luck!!

One of the most significant usability updates this site has seen in a while. Well done!

Good bye, politics!~

Thank god, now i never have to see general and politics ever again.

...seems a little slow - not sure if it's the website struggling again, or the new functionality. We'll see.

It may go away for awhile and then reappear. Stay tuned.

Fascinating indeed. Now I don't need this script.

I'm glad that it's finally implemented!!

I never use the front page, unless the system does not let me to go to other areas of the site. Then I am forced to refresh and go there just to get into threads.

Darn mobile site.

Awesome job, thanks TalonMan

Seems to take awhile for the topic list to actually load up now.
