When the extra forums for other games were opened, the recent posts box had a problem with showing posts that weren't WoW related, so we got a filter box to set the options to personal preference. At the time there was some discussion about implementing the same thing to the "What's New?" button.

Are you still working on a filter for the "What's New?" button?

I used to browse the site through the "What's New?" button all the time, but after the new forums were added, it was no longer a conventient tool. I now jump between the subforums looking for new posts, but it gets tedious when you keep finding there's nothing new in your class forums. What I would like is the "What's New?" button back to glory, so that I can easily see any new posts in the General, Raid, Professions or any of the class forums I'm interested in, without having to hop subforums.
