I'm trying to add selection of posts from the forum to the front page, as well as news, reviews etc etc

TBH it's new to me as well

First impressions are that it looks like someone's blog so perhaps that might deter new members?

My thought is that people are kinda lazy & won't look any further than the front page, missing the forum.

The forums haven't changed I've just added a CMS page, we had one before I changed the forum software and we still had lots of people join, I have a lot of changes to make, it won't look like a blog when I've finished

Just thinking about it, you can bypass the front page just change your bookmark to this page http://www.scale-models.co.uk/community/

It looks the same to me but then I am on my phone

When I click my bookmark I get the new front page. Can we access the forum from there, at present I click on 'alerts' which takes me to the more familiar version.
