If you want to go to the last post in thread after that, click the time under the username and that'll take you there. Ahhhhh! Cheers Chester, that makes sense. So I'll need to start entering threads by clicking the time on the rhs of the screen, as opposed to click either the thread title or the page number, both of which are on the lhs of the page?

Disco Dave Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 5 minutes ago, Clark Griswold said: you mean no more dots? I mean you couldn’t open a thread, read the OP and then easily skip to the most recent post on the last page (unless it was only one or two pages long). On the old mobile view (iphone, safari browser) you could only go forward a page or back a page from within a thread..... it was really annoying as you had to either go back to the main page (terrace/shed) and then click on the last page or switch to desktop view from within the thread.

I also cant log in at all on Tapatalk. Thanks. Regarding the noise, if you click on the notifications icon at the top (the bell), then Notification Settings, you can uncheck "Play a sound when I receive a notification" at the bottom of the list of options.

Clark Griswold Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 9 hours ago, redm said: As you'll probably notice we've made quite a few changes in the time we were down and while the good news is that we're back and the forum is live once more, there's still a lot going on behind the scenes. A few million posts still have to transfer over so you might find that some old (and not so old) posts aren't showing quite as they should. That sort of detail will come back slowly over the coming days and maybe even week. There's a LOT of data. The forum has new functions and we need to get to grips with them just as you do, but if you notice anything weird or wonderful please do let us know. I'll keep an eye on this thread. We also still have a few design tasks to sort out so you might find that it changes a little bit each time you visit in the next few days. I imagine some of you might not like the number of changes but I hope the new forum will become every bit as familiar to you as the old one was. This wasn't an optional upgrade for us, the old software was well out of date and we simply had to move with the times if we wanted to keep the board running smoothly and keep it as safe as it needs to be. Most performance issues were ironed out in recent weeks but this upgrade should hopefully help us make these glitches less of an issue going forward too. I probably have lots more to say on this but I need to go and start fiddling with all the cool new functions we have. I'll come back and write up some 'How To' guides if you let me know which things aren't as intuitive or clear to you as they used to be. Thanks in advance to all of you for your patience and cooperation. We hope you like the new forum. (And Simon, tech guru, if you're looking in....thank you from all of us!) First of all, great work to all involved, the forum is looking awesome bar a few niggles mentioned in this thread. Is it maybe worth having a quick FAQ sticky for the new forum? I know you mentioned How To articles above, but reckon an FAQ would be quicker to compose, and would save folk asking the same questions or having to trawl thru looking for someone that's had the same issue. Just a thought, Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
