How do you get into a thread, and gave it open to the latest posts, like it used to? They all open with Post #1, which means I have no idea where the latest post(s) are and am disinclined to want to post.
I like the old format much better! Perhaps others do as well and that’s why there’s a lack of new posts and threads.
So, if a thread has 35 posts and you read to the 35th post, how do you get it to open to a new post (36) the next time? It’s maddening, actually.

I merely tap the “end” key on my antiquated laptop; maybe newer ones lack that function. On the either hand, dopes that respond to the last comment without having read all that led up to it, are a major bore.

When I click on a link from a email to a post it takes me to the that post. it works just like the old forum. If I go to the list of forums and pick a thread I can go to the last post by clicking “last Post”. As far as I can see everything works like the old one just it has a different look. As long as your signed in when you visit it will remember which posts you looked at. Now if you clear your cookies between visits that might cause a issue but never tried it.

The new format works ok on my laptop but it is difficult to navigate and post from my cell phone.
Among the cell-phone difficulties is the fonts are too small, the format on the phone is hard to follow and the screens do not scale properly so I have to scroll up/down to navigate a page and post. Trying to insert photos into a post from my phone is so difficult I just don’t. There are small other problems as well.
I gave up posting from my phone which has reduced my number of posts since I only have laptop access once or twice per day.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S22. Maybe others are having the same issues?
Other than that the new format is workable for me.

What I do on this (and the Dan Wesson Forum, using the same web design software) is: select the new posts radio button (1), then scroll down to the topic I want to read and select the new radio button (2) (right clicking allows you to open in a new tab), when I’m done and there are still unread posts that I’m not interested in, I select the mark all as read radio button (3).

I never receive any e-mail notifications of post I’ve contributed to or am watching and subscribed to – like I always used to get. I went into my account settings and from what I can tell, I am set up for this to happen. But it doesn’t. Suggestions?
Don’t worry, Steve, you ain’t missing much.
