How to Find Forum Threads and Recent Posts on SemiWiki

SemiWiki's homepage is the fastest entry point: it surfaces Recent Forum Threads and a Trending Now block, so you can see current discussion without navigating anywhere else. If you want a specific author's output or older threads, you'll need to go one level deeper into author profiles and pagination.

What the homepage gives you

The homepage is organized around a few repeating blocks:

• Recent Forum Threads — the latest discussion activity, listed with post titles and dates.
• Trending Now — a separate block highlighting what's currently drawing attention.
• Posts pagination — controls at the bottom of the thread list for moving to earlier pages.

Each thread entry typically shows the title, the author, a posting date and time, and a category tag. In the evidence excerpt, for example, entries carry dates like "09-30-2026 at 12:00 pm" and categories such as 3D IC, AI, Events, Semiconductor, and TSMC.

Reading a thread entry

A typical entry on the homepage follows this pattern:

The "Read More" link is what takes you from the teaser into the full post. Category tags are useful as a rough filter — if you only care about EDA or quantum computing, scan the tags before opening anything.

Finding more than the first page

The thread list doesn't show everything at once. Use the Posts pagination controls at the bottom of the list to step back through earlier entries. This is the main way to reach threads that have scrolled off the front page.

Following a specific author

Every post links to the author's profile, which exposes several separate views:

• View Profile — the author's public profile page.
• View Forum Posts — everything that author has posted to the forums.
• View Articles — longer-form articles by the same author.
• Private Message — a direct contact option.

This is the practical route when you want one person's output rather than the site-wide feed. Authors visible in the current homepage content include Mike Gianfagna, Daniel Nenni, Bernard Murphy, and an account listed simply as "Admin."

A note on dates

The dates shown in the source material run into late 2026 (for example, September 30, 2026). Treat the dates exactly as displayed on the page rather than assuming they reflect today — the ordering on the homepage is what tells you what's newest.

Common snags

• Confusing forum threads with articles. They're separate views on an author profile. If you want discussion, use "View Forum Posts"; if you want the longer write-ups, use "View Articles."
• Missing older threads. If a topic isn't on the homepage, it hasn't disappeared — page back through the pagination controls.
• Assuming a category is a filter. The tags shown on each entry are labels, not necessarily clickable filters. To browse by topic, scan the tags across pages rather than expecting a single click to narrow the list.
