    Increase the Latest Topics on the front page from 2 posts to 3 or 4. With Novel Updates increasing with users, so to do the post frequency, so posts don't get as much exposure to the general public as they did in the past. I suggest increasing the amount viewable so they get more exposure.

    I will tell that it was this feature that made me take an active interest in Novel Updates and to finally create an account to post a reply to a topic I found interesting. I had been a user of the website for a year or two before I finally made an account. I saw no reason to make an account as everything was listing for me to view and that was the soul reason for visiting this site. I didn't realise with an account you could mark favourites and highlight novels of interest if you had an account. I am only mentioning this so you know how much of an impact on this website topics posted by users have on people to get them too invest into this website.

    I think @Westseller proposed this idea a long while back. I second it as well.

    I could say that all though there is a Latest Discussions on the right hand side of the website I turn a blind eye to that side of the web page (and if I do, so do others). If you know about web design then you would know that all users focus to the top left of screen first. I would suggest swapping the right side bar over to the left side of the website if you want it to have it acknowledged more visibility.

    I did not know this, thanks. (I never really took note of it anyway).

    Westseller's post was 3 years ago, this site has surely grown since then as well. (I am surprised so many people remember a post form 3 years ago.).

    what? You want the credit? Not happening. Far too many people had that suggestion/demand.
