    Same as some other folks - I'm now getting notifications for threads I have nothing to do with and have not bookmarked. I've not changed my Notification settings either so the failed My Forum fix last night looks like it's made things worse.

    @Boards.ie: Niamh

    The same as others, I'm getting notifications from a thread I've had no interaction with whatsoever.

    In old boards talk, the forum was a followed forum (Richersounds) before the migration and I had posted a thread in that forum sometime last year, but nothing since.

    Me too and it's making the site unusable for me as I'm on my phone.

    My main posting and browsing was done on the touch site so this is awful.

    Dropdown menus? Where are they?

    Post counts don't have a format in the thousands. You get 21323 instead of 21,323.

    Why all the wasted whitespace and yes, Dark mode would be handy.

    Change the like to thanks, and have the people who thanked the post displayed like the last version.

    Can't search my or anyone's post history.

    How do you add a quote?

    it's odhran, and his stated goal is to scalp money from the userbase


    how he's going to do that with no users is the mystery


    tell you what does work, **** works

    The notifications are a bug since the update, even if you set all your preferences to off you'll still get them.

    Niamh is aware and is sorting it.

    A total, "duh" moment here.....

    When I'm on the last post of a thread, if I scroll down past the Leave A Comment box, the menu containing bookmarks is right there 🙄

    HTH anyone else who was driven demented with all the scrolling and clicking!

    Was about to post on the Courier forum but there's no such option on many of the threads. No "Leave a Comment" and the threads are not locked or anything. Have I been banned or just a glitch?

    Edit: Checked the whole Online buying & auctions -section and there are no new posts at all because all the threads seem to have no option to post in them. No "Leave a Comment" at all.

    Confirmed.

    Can't bookmark, can't post, no quote button

    @stronglikebull Thanks, I know it's a bug rather than user error on my end for that reason. Interestingly it's happening with the Richer Sounds forum just as it is with pleasant Co. Similarly, it's a long time since I posted there.

    somebody over-promised on functionality for the new site and under-delivered. How long can boards.ie afford to bleed users.

    If there is a contract with a vendor which needs to be voided before returning to the old platform then this thread is your justifcation to exit without penalty.

    Somebody marked my empty post as spam. :(

    Seriously. I didn’t make this empty post on purpose, and I couldn’t delete the flipping thing. Having been on boards in one form or another for over a decade, without a single infraction, warning, or ban, that is weirdly annoying.

    Thanks to the folks who replied to my comment (back on page 46 or thereabouts) regarding the categories. I'm now on PC, Chrome on Windows, and I'm still not seeing any categories, just the "something's gone wrong" page.

    I've logged out and logged in again (and cleared cookies), but it didn't help.

    Losing the will to live with this site now, to be honest.

    Edit: The categories are displayed if I'm not logged in (just had a brainwave and tested it), but aren't displayed if I am logged in!!

    Yup, boards need to wipe them off users 'record' or 'reactions' or whatever they are now.

    I think they've acknowledged counting flags against a user is dopey (at least I hope so)

    How can you actually follow a forum? I'm trying to follow a couple of forums I've followed before but can't see how to do so.

    Main issue for me is with search function. It wasn't great on old touch site to begin with, but it was usable and, on occasion, even useful. Now i cant find anything with it at all, it actually seems worse than useless unless i am missing something with it.

    2 weeks work. 2 weeks work it's taken and the site is still a virtually unusable mess. Someone, somewhere seriously dropped the ball with this one.

    Whether it was Vanilla overselling what they could do or "Boards" not requiring testing prior to migration and go live, it doesn't matter, the whole thing has been an unmitigated disaster.

    Is the advanced reply option gone?

    Are we really left with just using the post comment box on the bottom of each page?

    We'd all love to know what actually went wrong so we could endlessly discuss it - probably why will never know.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    @Boards.ie: Niamh, I've just realised all my notifications are for the Talk to Boards forum - Feedback, Soccer Requests etc.

    I've only bookmarked this thread in Feedback and don't get notifications for any of my other bookmarks.

    I'm not sure you can follow a forum on the desktop site but you can on mobile - then that forum will appear in the Categories page both on desktop and mobile.

    So on mobile I had to try and find the forum I want to follow then at the top of the page select it's parent category from the breadcrumbs. The page that lists your forum and any others doesn't quite fit on the screen so either pinch or swipe so you can see the cog wheel on the right hand side - tapping this gives you the option to Follow (or Unfollow).

    Example - to follow the Nintendo forum I had to navigate to the Gaming Platforms page first then select the cog wheel on the right.

    Now back on desktop (same on mobile) I can see Nintendo in the Categories list:
