Start Page!

The Start Page replaces the News Feed while incorporating elements of the News Feed into it. It was designed to be a small portal to the experience with a short and sweet welcome message.

10/24 Update
October 24, 2010
by Eaton
It’s been a while so here’s a quick rundown on what is up.

Been a while since the last solid update, so here is some new info.
FATXplorer’s current build string is 2.0.0.5385 as of now.

Most of the minor stuff is [...]

There is a problem I discovered with page titles and I am working on fixing that. Until then, some page titles may come out strange. Just ignore them if you see any.
