    Ridic number of bugs in the new site.

    Here's a non-exhaustive list of bugs I've found (note I use the dark blue/light blue colour scheme, not sure if everyone else does):

    In a post I made, when I hover over my avatar, the context menu pops up. Many of the elements in it are white on light grey background which is illegible.

    On the top right, when I click on my avatar and the context menu pops up, some of the elements in it are dark grey on dark blue background which is illegible.

    In My Threads , all threads are shown in bold (which means I haven't read the latest posts) even when I have read them.

    In My Threads, when I click the tiny right arrow underneath the Latest Post column, this does not bring me to the latest post.

    On each page of a thread, the ordering is (first post) (page navigator) (rest of the posts) (page navigator). Of course the order of the first two should be swapped.

    I've seen at least 2 other threads on which bugs/issues/frustrations are being listed.

    Would make sense to consolidate in to 1, pin it on Front page and have categories to allow people to see what has already been listed and being actioned.

    Wishful thinking at this point probably.

    Why were my badges removed? There one day, removed the next!

    Edit: Unless users click on my name to view my profile, they have no idea I’m a moderator, or which part of the site I moderate.

    Ability to post completely empty posts such as one above should be removed.

    If you insert a hyperlink in a comment, it is invisible unless/until you mouseover it. BUT you are unlikely to mouseover if you don't know it's there.

    Not sure if this counts as a bug, but when viewing the profiles of others, should I be able to see items like the fact that the have not confirmed thier email, and someone reported them for SPAM.... The first might be GDPR, the second might board on defamation.

    After Hours forum home page doesn't have any pagination, so you can't see any threads after the first page.

    As an example of one that works, the CA forum:

    I was upgraded to a Mod (since I was one before), but I don't have permission to read the post on "how-to-guide-for-mods-july-2021".

    Thread names with an ampersand in them appear correctly when the thread is viewed, but appear unescaped i.e. as "&" when viewed in a list of threads.

    Is there any way to 'mark forum read'?

    I found that feature very handy.

    When I was finished reading the threads that interested me in a particular forum, I could click the 'mark forum read' button and it was very easy then to spot any subsequent new posts that appeared as they were in bold font.

    Whatever update you did on 14th Oct has broken the css (again). Each topic is now way too tall. there appears to be some message at the top of the screen but it is hidden under the blue header.

    When you're logged out, the Trending section on the homepage is showing stuff from July, seems to be frozen in time. Also like Gerry above said, the header seems to be covering up the top of the pages, on the homepage it's actually covering the "Trending" header.

    After you log in, header is now covering the tabs to switch between latest posts, my threads, trending, etc. The trending tab still continues to display posts from July
