New "Milestones" feature on the Latest Threads page
We have just added a cool upgrade to the Latest Threads page, which we call "Milestones."
Whenever a discussion thread receives a certain number of posts -- 25, 50, 75, 100, or any other multiple of 25 -- it is re-posted at the top of the Latest Threads page so more people can see it.
The Milestone threads are marked with a blue arrow so you can easily identify them.

If you don't wish to see Milestone threads
If you don't wish to see these Milestones on the Latest Threads page, then you can set your filter so they do not appear. In the black bar near the top of the page, the last drop-down menu sets your preference for Milestones. To remove the Milestones, select "No Milestones" and then click "Go!" to save.
Don't forget your Trash Can
If you get sick of seeing a particular thread get re-posted over and over again on the Latest Threads page, just click the little X icon to Trash it. The icon looks like this: 
And if you get sick of seeing threads from a particular forum or group appearing on your Latest Threads page, you can put that forum or group in your Trash Can. Enter the forum or group, and then click the button that says "Trash this forum" or "Trash this group."

I'm feeling disoriented now. 
I thought this was going to be about something like a memorial page - for DUer's milestones - like 100,000 posts or getting published, or losses due to deaths.
not saying this is bad, just my mistake is all 
Very nice. 
And the options to disable, etc. are there for those who don't like the feature.
