We just rolled out an exciting new feature on HubPages: the customizable home page. You can now pick and choose from an array of configurable widgets that should allow you to put all the things you are interested in keeping track of on HubPages together in one place.
To check it out just sign in, go to the homepage, and then select the "customizable home page" in the upper right hand corner. A default layout will be created based on what we know about you, but the real power comes adding, configuring, and positioning the widgets as you like. If you don't like the new page, you can always switch back to the traditional home page.
We also deployed some other minor changes with this release. As usual, please let us know if run into any new problems with the site.
Thanks!

OMG Mr Deeds! You have no idea how happy in the pants this makes me!
I'm customising mine right now. My favourite sub-forums at the top.
I haven't checked yet but does it have a widget for showing unmoderated comments?- 97

I have a comment. Is there any way that when we are on our home page, browsing the forums & we find a thread we want to read, we click it and it could open up in a different window? Then we'd have our home page open & the forum open at the same time to toggle back and forth.
Make sense? Jane@CM wrote:

Make sense?Yes! This would be helpful.
I usually open two windows before I get started with my day. I like to toggle.

Make sense?What browser are you using?
I'm using Firefox. If I use the right click on my mouse it allows me to 'Open Link In New Window' and 'Open Link In New Tab'.
Or I just click on a link with the scroll wheel that's in between my two buttons and it automatically opens the page in a new tab. - 85

Make sense?Well, you can hold down shift when you click the link or right click on the link and select open in new window.
