Default Do you read TFTOTM write up

Do you read the article for the featured tanks, written by the tanks owners? Or do you just look at the pic on the home page?

We are wondering if the current placement in picture sub forums is not the place for it, as it seems many dont even know its there? Perhaps we should have it in the main forum or perhaps its own, for both the featured tanks and pics.

Please feel free to comment and submitt any ideas.
Thanks

Maybe a forum of it's own would make it more accessible but to be honest I don't usually follow the threads that are started for them . When I want to look at the article and pictures, I just click on the pic on the front page, You can't make it more accessible then that

I read the article and look at the pictures.....I think sometimes people don't know that if you click the picture it tells you more....maybe spell it out more....beside the pic have "click the pic for more information"

I agree with Marie, I think it may require its own forum to make threads simpler to find.

As well like Chaloupa said, adding in some text on the front page would also be useful.

I think they need their own forum. To me the write up is more interesting than the picture. I like knowing how people accomplished what they did.

I dont follow the threads made for the pics.

I never needed to look for it . Clicking on the front page picture seems to suit my lazy nature better

I read the articles as well. It's definitely entertaining to read about how the tank came to be.

+1 for the picture on main page. I don't use the threads but I think Reefcentral has a very good way of capturing attention for the TOTM.

I read it and look at the pics, but only when its a tank I've never seen or read about before. IMO it's pretty accessable where it is.
