I don't know what's wrong, but the homepage is not redirecting like it should, and was. I have my preferences set so that the homepage redirects to the downloads page and as of a couple of weeks (at least I think that's how long it's been) it doesn't do that anymore. I've checked my preferences twice now and it still says that it will redirect. It's kinda annoying to have to use the bar at the top of the page to navigate to the downloads page, especially since that's always my first stop on the site (which is why I had it set that way) Can anyone help? ~VP

Personally I have simply set the downloads page as my bookmark.

You can change the number to 1 for TS2 only or 2 for TS3 only.

I just asked about this, too, because personally I had mine set to myMTS. Anyhoos, to draw traffic to the homepage, redirects have been disabled. Best thing to do is add your preferred MTS landing spot as a bookmark on your bookmark bar or something.

The "redirect from homepage" functionality was added years ago but upon examination of the actual usage, only a couple thousand people (at most) actually use the feature. As I've been working on a new theme lately, I went in and removed all the old code that handles these redirects, since I believe that the information on the frontpage is important for everybody to read. I apologise for not informing people - I should have done this as it happened.

I'll be working on a better way to handle the menu bar at the top, too, since it's a little unwieldy, especially when you just want to see things quickly and easily. This is all part of a new redesign of the site, and with every redesign there are going to be things that get cut or don't make it into the final site.

Thank you Delphy for letting me know what happened. I think I'll take Psychosim's suggestion and bookmark the DL page. ~VP
