What if to read and comprehend what is written in full, rather than trying to find only what fits staff's motto "why do something if you can do nothing at all"?
Go ahead, mark the "Nintendo Switch" subforum there as "exclude" and check out
https://gbatemp.net/whats-new/posts/. Be sure to report back with your results.
Yeah what I'm saying is change it from "Exclude" to "Include". From there click on the top sub-forum (Introductions), then, holding Shift, click on the final sub-forum before the groups start (EoF). When I first replied I assumed you would have to select the sub-forums individually, but this is relatively fast.
It appears to work without any issues, so you have a fairly easy solution there. I'm just trying to offer support here, I'm not a person who has any power to make changes to the site. It appears that the behaviour you're wanting really isn't a challenge to get though.
Edit: I do see what you mean about the text. I assume that's leftover from before subforums got merged into one, so it could do with going. Everything else seems fine though?
Edit 2: I'm following now, it only affects the front page box. That does actually seem like a bug. I know it did work on the What's New page in the past, so raising that might actually get some attention on the issue. I would say you could probably go about it in a clearer and more polite way, but hey ho.
Edit 3: I am once again returning with more information. Seems it impacts the
https://gbatemp.net/new/ page, and not the newer
https://gbatemp.net/whats-new/ page. As not a person who can make changes, I have no idea how easy or difficult it would be to make these changes hit the whats-new page, but you could use the new page and the home box to tide you over.
