I don't have anyone on ignore, but I don't really use the DU Homepage either. That's a good question.

Guess I never noticed it before. Usually I go directly to the Latest Threads.

I have some very "popular" posters on my ignore list.
Usually when they dissappear from the trending page it's because they managed yet another involuntary time out.

Sucks, but that's how it is.

As far as the technical reason, not sure why that hasn't been fixed.
