General support is the only forum without recent threads listed? looks a little weird to me

It does look tidy but at the same time, it doesn't look like the rest of the site. I can see the benefit for someone that needs OS specific help but for someone casually surfing the site idk... I enjoy reading threads on topics that don't have anything to do with my OS, just for learning opportunity.
I see their called 'normal threads' thanks for the correction

All of the existing threads from there moved to the "OS independent/Other section" - you can still briwse if you're bored (I know I often do too )

lol We are easily entertained....
One last thought,
Wouldn't be beneficial to members that are always willing to help (like yourself) to at least have the most recent help issues at hand regardless of OS? Maybe keep it down to the newest 10, 12, 15 threads/posts?

no it shouldn't.
users should post in the OS section they actually use. A lot of problems they ask are OS related

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
