That partially explains it. I do not go to the "F.R. Home Page" when I click on to F.R. I stay logged in until I clear my history with a cookie dump. I created a short cut icon on my desk top that opens directly to "News/activism", where the "Latest Articles" appear, minus "chat", "religion forum, etc. If I decide to go to one of those forums, they are listed on the right side of the page.
I went to the "home page" after your latest reply to me and saw what you are talking about. I prefer going to the articles, rather than the posts on articles, where I can see the articles, starting with the most recent article posted and if I want to, I can just click on the article and see all the replies.
I almost never go to the FR homepage or the Latest Posts pages either. I was just explaining what “bump” and “bttt” mean.
