Is there any way to change my profile so that I can see more than just the last 5 active posts?  Although I usually check in at least once a day, sometimes I am pretty busy and don’t check the site for a few days.  I was wondering if I can change it to the last 10 or 15 active posts.

Sign in, and click on “Latest” found somewhere on the top right. Then you can see all the new posts which have came in after your last logged off.  :D And if you find it a hassle to sign in every time, just configure it to sign in automatically everytime you come here.
