    If you are on a computer, click on the envelope in the top right corner next to your profile picture. If you are on a mobile click on your profile picture, and then click on the envelope.

    How can I find forums I had bookmarked, now it seems to take 5 clicks and search.

    Is there a way to bookmark forums. (Not follow threads)

    My usage of Boards.ie has decreased about 90% since the change and I'm already moving to different platforms.

    For the moment, you need to follow forums using the mobile site (using the cog wheel), and that then carries over to the desktop under "categories"

    Thanks for replies.

    My private messages are gone.

    I clicked on the envelope as Dave the rave suggested and there are none. It says that there arev no messages. but there was a number of messages I had not yet replied to and they are all gone.

    Also, are notifications to my email address discontinued because I have had none. I never got them anyway which was always an ongoing problem.

    You have to go into your profile and choose what you want to receive i.e receive email updates from threads you comment in, from threads you start etc. It's all under your profile just go and have a look and play around with it. It's how I figured it out.

    My main issue, albeit a small one is when you click onto one of the threads under my threads it just goes to the last page you are on. Is there any way of making it go automatically to first unread post? I am on laptop btw
