    Not sure if its a bug. But get a notification of a new post in a thread. Click on the thread but still have to mark the notification as read ? Surely viewing the thread would deem it to be seen?

    On Chrome and Firefox on a Mac, forum navigation seems mostly hidden by bad page design;

    I feel that the new version is making me work a little too hard to find the forums I want to view which is a shame

    Mobile using chrome on iOS. Select my icon, press star, it won’t show my thread list. Refreshed many times, not working at all. Previously was 1 in 5 times failure.

    2 issues with this:

    User: "image.png"

    The top box regional, talk to etc... (nav-area) is pushing everything down.

    .nav-area {
  position: fixed;
  height: 30px; /* ←  ← */
  width: 100%;
  background: #4f6a9f;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #637faf;
  top: 0;
  z-index: 100;
}

    The theme header also has the wrong height

    #titleBar {
  position: inherit;
  width: 100%;
  top: 30px; /* should be 20px */
}

    If I recall the way this used to be was when you were at the top of the page "nav-area" would show but as you scroll down the nav-area disappears. Leaving either no header at all, if that setting is on in your profile, or sticky'ing the header and the breadcrumbs.

    In fairness, this issue seems to be resolved again. Thanks to whoever sorted it out

    The search function simply does not work in comparison to the old site, ive tried using every keyword and function of the new search and it yields zero correct results, its baffling how theres no way to limit a search to sub forums and theres also no way to simply view all my posts which for me would be the next easiest way to find a thread whose name i cannot remember.

    If you're on the mobile/touch site - click on your avatar / view your profile / scroll all the way down / Comments - that's all your recent posts.

    I'm fairly sure there's a way to do it on the desktop as well, but I'm so flipping bamboozled by the differences between the two sites, I just cannot recall now (maybe there isn't!)

    Thanks yup thats there on the mobile site but like you say no obvious similar functiuonality exists on the desktop version which again is baffling. I ended up just using google with the same keywords i had tried on boards search function along with the name of the sub forum i knew the thread was in to find what I was looking for which is pretty ridiculous to be honest.

    I’m lost. On my mobile, I used to go into my profile to find my posts. Now, when I click the circle with the person in it, nothing happens. How do I find my posts?

    Thanks but again there is no simple way to search this list, the old system allowed you to see all your posts and then search within that. Unless im missing something very obvious this is another serious downgrade?

    Yeah that user profile bar with the icons is broken now on mobile - bookmarks and user profile icons do nothing, notifications and conversations look like they are trying to show a popup but it's hidden behind the main page.

    Mine has had no problems, Android/Ungoogled Chromium.

    As a test, I've also signed out, cleared cache, powered off/on and signed back into site on mobile and it's working no problem.

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    Still no attachments from the good old boards are being accessible.

    And images attached now are being resized to ridiculously small (~500px wide) resolution, rendering most of them totally unreadable.

    Having the titles of read threads no longer in bold is vital - makes a massive difference.

    +1 on the attachments, a massive shame the old ones were lost and renders a lot of threads which were a great source of information useless. You can always start a new memes thread but some guy who restored his car or motorbike, built a shed, or whatever is hardly going to upload the pictures again showing what they did just because Boards threw them out.

    Also it's rather pointless having thousands of emojis when they're so small it's impossible to tell what they are.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Do you have any custom scripts enabled? You should have the below button beside the page numbers.

    I did try out those ones in After hours but I thought I got rid of them. Unless something has messed up since then.

    I reckon you have some custom CSS still being applied that's hiding it. Have a look at your extensions (if using Chrome?) and see if there's anything there you can disable. 🙂

    Using the touch site, the catagory drop down button does nothing for me. Which is a real pain as its expanded and I can't get it to minimise anymore. Makes going to groups a scroll fest.
