I just noticed this but I used to surf the forums by simply clicking on Everything under Forum Links from the GalCiv2 home page.

Another way of doing (almost) the same thing is to click on the Forums button then click on the More Recent Posts once there.

If you use the Everything Forum Link you don't see any new posts from the GalCiv II News, Modding or GalCiv Dev Journals forums.

If you use the Forum then More Recent Posts path it seems you actually see everything. You also see the category that the post is in using this method. The one downside is that you can't create a new post from there.

Just thought I'd share this info.
