After the recent forum upgrade, when I log in it no longer takes me to the “Latest” page, instead it takes me to the “Categories” page. I have reset my Default Home Page preference (I set it to “Categories” and saved it, then back to “Latest” and saved it again).
Not a big deal, but thought I’d mention it.

Forum as a standalone app.
Works out of chrome as a tab too.
Still works with a pineapple skillfully balanced on my head. 
(Nothing unexpected, but I wanted you guys to know that I can skillfully balance stuff on my head.)
But can you also simultaneously juggle rutabagas?
Soon enough the astronaut found out that he would have to give up on his passion for juggling.
Worth a try.
It stuck on Latest for me, through the update. But I did also do a full cache-delete refresh, as I always do after an update, as a lot of the site actually runs inside the browser.
Hopefully your tip helps anyone else out who sees it change though. I would have suggested the same exact thing.
I guess I wasn’t clear. Even after resetting my preferences on the site, it is still taking me back to the “Categories” page. The reset did not do anything.
Edited to add - I’ve cleared the browser cache and it’s still not working.
Do any of the other options for this setting work, out of curiosity? For me, I select “Hot”, for example, click Save and then click the main logo at the top, it takes me to “Hot”, and then I switch to “Latest” in the same fashion, and that’s where I end up.
Clicking on the main logo works. It’s when first logging in I go to:
I click on the main logo and then go to:
I’ll try changing it again and see what happens. Edited to add - it still takes me to the “Categories” page on login.
I’ve cleared Storage, Cache and Applications Cache in the browser and deleted the forum cookie(s).
Ah, thanks for the clarification. How about this:
Now you should return to the main Scrivener category. It’s just taking you back to whatever you were looking at before you logged in. So if you go to the root URL, which will use the default Categories, log in, then that is where you will return.
I don’t remember if that is how it worked before, but that’s definitely what I’m seeing now.
Pictures or it didn’t happen. 
A pity. Looks good.
I agree! I almost believed it.
That’s not how it worked before. Before the upgrade, it honored the Default Home Page preference after login (i.e. if I logged in from the “Categories” page it took me to the “Latest” page).
I’m also seeing that it returns me to the page I was on when I log in.
Hopefully the forum software developers will catch this for the next upgrade.
It is considered good practice to return the user to what they were doing, after going to an interrupt, like logging in. If it didn’t do that before, and was reloading all the way back to the “top” so that you would have to return to where you were manually, then that wasn’t ideal.
Thus I would be surprised if they go back to the way it was, but here is where you can make your opinion known.
Yes, I expect something like a forum to take me back to where I was. Mind you, I have a permanently open page on my browser ‘New’.
Who logs in? Seriously I leave all forum software logged in even across browser and operating system upgrades. As these are my own machines and no one else uses them so it is safe for me to do this
Oh. Was that a condition, here?
I didn’t log out, as neither I ever do.
I log in every time I visit the site, then log out when I leave. It’s from almost 50 years of muscle memory to always log out when you are done.
For ~25 years being a Mac user my “muscle memory” is not to log out of pretty much anything. Have tabs open in my browser to streaming services, forums (as I said earlier never log out of those) including some really poorly designed ones compared to DIscourse, Reddit is always open too, plus a bunch of info sites, Amazon both UK and US. Much the same on iPhone and iPad. All these sites have cookies that store login credentials for the occasions when something has to be upgraded.
Way way back when I had my own Windows PC I never logged out of that either nor from the Linux machine that replaced it.
The only time had to log out of anything was when working on customer sites. Or back in the day of using VAX/VMS at the end of business I’d PF1-PF3, which I bound to LOGOUT, but then I was the system manager and ran with elevated system privilges the entire working day.
All of which is to say I do not see the need to logout/login on a personal machine.
It’s perfectly fine to have reflexes or preferences that differ from your own. Some people might find it enforces a discipline in keeping their “online social” time curtailed, if they have to go through the added friction of logging in, for example.
