Out of interest are we now using Linux and a better more resilient database?

More resilient database? It had always been Linux based, and I'm pretty sure it still is using MySQL/MariaDB. But we're no longer running it ourselves, but moved to a subscription model.

Where is the "go to last post" link? I can't see it

One thing I noticed, the email notification to a subscribed thread new post does not contain a hyperlink, just the url as text. Is it just my mail client?

Yeah, have to find a solution to this. Link should be links, not text...

My bad. The 500 page we used to see suggested to me it was SQL on Windows.

Also, curious, should a replied to thread result in being subscribed still? I guess I'll find out if anyone replies....

found the answer...almost. User Settings->Notifications->subscribe when posting. But when I go to save, it tells me that I have not agreed to the privacy policy, and I cannot find where to go to agree. I am sure it's right under my nose....

Same here.

No Tapatalk, I'm sorry. Trust me when I say that I'm the first to hate web based forums... But we have to live with some compromises.

I'm pretty sure I'll need to tweak some settings to make things work a bit better. So please keep the complaints coming .

Is that a compromise forever, or just till you work down the to-do list? Web-based on a phone forever is not a great proposition.

Hopefully we've seen the last of that idiotic "Sent from my .... phone using Tapatalk"

[d6jg]

The (only) advantage of Tapatalk was the ability to “paste” images from clipboard but you can do that directly via the browser with whatever we have upgraded to

paste

How do I get a view that shows all most recent posts, from any forum, with most recent first. I can get this (see pic) for unread recent posts, but once I read something, and leave, then return to the forum, I only see unread posts. In the past, I could see "greyed out" recent posts that I had already read. Thanks for any pointers.

Even though I have a signature entered, and ticked show signature in settings, I don't see my signature in my posts. I'm not noticing anyone else's signature either.

[sodface]

I like it! Thanks for the effort!!

[stereoptic]

Nice job, it looks more streamlined! Any suggestions as to find the "new Posts" and "Mark forums read" options are? Thanks

It's a user setting. See the link to your settings at the top. There's an option to "Show Signatures" in the "Account" section.

Also ... it is now an extra click to get to the end of a thread when looking at new messages ... page link be added in the summary list so can get to the end in one click?
My usual way to access via web is to look at new posts and open 1 tab for each ... just needed 1 click for each message and now requires 2 with the 2nd to get "latest activity"

Edit:
Ignore that ... just seen the "go to last post" link over on the right of the list of posts.

Update - there is a forum setting for the order that posts within a thread are displayed. I am now experimenting with it set to "Latest Activity" so that clicking on a thread title then takes you to the most recent post but with that at the top of the page so that you read history by scrolling down rather than up.
It is much easier to click on the thread title than the tiny icon over on the right - plus no longer need to shift my eyes from reading thread title to the right to find the icon ... milliseconds saved!
