Well done guys. Great work.

Just a quick tip for those of you who’s avatars have now moved off centre on the mobile versions, simply re-applying the avatar in your profile fixes this problem.

How do we go to last unread post?

Saw it addressed on the previous page, would be good to have desktop view on mobile if you want.

The new site is looking really slick, great work SF (y)

Loving the way the super long quotes are shortened with a read more. Now I won't have to reread Burgos breakdown in full everytime someone just wants to reply with 'still think Chad's ****'!

Just need to track down my Sharknado pic again as it got lost in the move 😃

Really great stuff. Thanks for putting so much time and energy into something that, for some weird reason, has really mattered to us all for decades.

Yeah, I need to test this. There's a 'go to new' at the to of the page when you enter a topic. Mine were all new posts so not sure if it's working okay. You can mark everything topic as read though, so I'm off to try that now

Yeah I marked everything as read, maybe this will show as a new post for you?

You should be able to see the page numbers on both desktop and mobile/tablet views (though they are quite small on mobile), they will take you to the last page at least. See attached screenshot. I thought just clicking the thread (when logged in) would take you to last post. It's something that I've noticed too, that it's not quite as easy as before. I'll compare with the old site this week, and see what I can do to improve.

I'll also have a look at the "What's New" questions, but you guys will probably figure it out before me!

Thanks for all the comments everyone, appreciate them! Do feel free though to keep giving feedback as what needs improvement.

Yep, all good thanks mate.

HB, you can go to New posts by clicking the lightning icon at the top right of the screen. Just found it as I was looking for a way to just see those new posts too.

Just a bit of feedback SF (No biggie).

My last post in the “Game on now thread“ has disappeared.
Admittedly it was late last night so can fully understand that it never made it across.
Shame thou, as I’m very very confident it was “Post of the year”.

If you browse on chrome then the desktop site is available. Not sure about other browsers.

Seems like the 'whats new' function has replaced the last unread post. I marked everything as read so can't really explore this yet.

I was a fan of the little blue arrow though, was a great QOL feature.

Thanks for your efforts getting getting this forum up so quick.

Does this version have an automatic rule to prevent posts with words / phrases such as 'Townsend' and 'sack the board'? If so that should save a lot of server space in the future!

This is the same feeling when you get a phone. Lots of new features to go through.

Are there any handy tricks/features I should know about?

Hey all, one more update. The forum email system should now be working OK, so it should send out password reset emails, confirmation emails etc.

If you notice you are getting a lot of unexpected emails or too many notifications, please let me know. I've turned off all default notification emails I can find, and reset everyone so that by default you won't get emails on "watched" threads (feel free to change back if you want).

You can change your preferences on this page as well: https://sharksforever.com/index.php?account/preferences

But it would also be good to know if there are any other annoying emails being sent out.

Thanks again!
