    I hate it. I keep hearing about "notifications" and there are no notifications anymore. If I want to see if there are more comments on a thread on which I've posted, I have to manually go through the menus to find the thread again... and they are constantly re-ordering so it is hard to find.

    You select the star on a post you want notifications from and up in the top right corner you will see a notification icon with a star beside it. Clicking the notification icon will show the notifications, clicking the star icon will show the topics you have starred.

    That is for bookmarks, and yes, I finally started getting notifications. However, I was initially trying to figure out how I was going to change my notification settings. According to the FAQ, you click on the bell, right?! That does not work UNTIL you get a notification. So you cannot set your notification settings unless you actually have notifications. Ugh.

    Okay so i did some research in the code and it looks like they are using the vanilla forum framework ( which is mobile friendly) and voila i am on my phone lurking the forum and it is so much better looking on my phone than via the web browser. Very interesting.
    Wow, if it looks better on the phone than PC it must be absolute *kitten* on a computer, because it looks confusing and horrible from a mobile.

    Anyone know how to make it stop saying how many new posts (in a yellow box on the Recent Discusssions page) next to every title? I accidently hit the "mark all as read" button and now these yellow boxes are everywhere!!!

    I really don't care that there have been 51 new posts to the "would you send a nude..." thread!!

    But I never even read it :cry: I never ready any of these threads but because I pushed a button they are all screaming at me about new posts!

    Can I have my old forum back please?

    Yeah, no more tickers. No more number of posts/join date. And I don't see any ability to see a user's other posts. Those were all features I used often.

    This exactly- Unfortunately, the only thing positive for me is ease of adding pics. However I rarely do this. I can't find my posts & conversations- HUGE negative. I, so far, don't like it. No dates- Hate that.

    Do you mean the date of the post? If so just hover your mouse over the time of the post and the date comes up
