Interesting, because I still can't regardless of which computer I am on or browser. I get the message that there were no "matches" and to try another search term. Which browser are you using? I use either Chrome or Firefox, and Windows 7 (if that matters).

I'm on Windows 7 with Firefox and not having an that issue, Catrin. Maybe clear cookies/cache?

I've noticed the list being "1 to 17 of 23" and then there's no link to a second page. Or - the first page will say "1 to 25 of 34" and the second page has just three topics and says "26 to 28 of 34".

You probably hit the magic number of new posts where you were offered a link to the second page, but there really weren't any posts to show on that page.

I have the same problem. Using Windows XP and IE 8 on one computer, and Windows 7 and IE9 on the other.

Also, when I click on the link to read the first unread post in a thread, if there is a post from someone whom I am ignoring in the recent postings, nothing will happen at all. The "button" does not work at all.

And finally, will it be possible to get "Ignore thread" back with this new format?

Thanks.

I was going to ask the same thing - and I double checked. Ignore thread has re-appeared under thread tools for me. Hope it has for you too!

Nope - I have 3 options under thread tools, and ignore isn't one of them... Odd that you have it and I don't?

The Ignore Thread is appearing in some themes, but not others. It works in VB4Default and Blue Theme, but not in any of the Luburox themes. You can switch to Blue Theme, ignore the thread, and then switch back to Luburox and the thread should still be ignored. I haven't been able to figure out yet why it isn't working properly in the Luburox themes.

I have a different issue that cropped up with the new forum. It's not a "bug" but just something that bugs me. When I go to the forum, I always click on "New Posts". In the old forum, that would only show me threads with new posts since my last visit. Now, in addition (and following) those, I get a whole slew of posts under "The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts." Is there any way to turn that off. If I didn't read them before, I don't want to read 'em this time around either. It makes my "new posts" search go on for page after page.

Minor, I know, but just one of those niggling little changes I don't care for.

Thanks!

The only way I've found around that Emily is to read the ones that are new that I want to read and the click to mark all posts read. That's the only work-around to that aspect that I've figured out.

Thanks, Possegal! I never used to have to do that so didn't even think of it. I will give it a try.

I really haven't been following this thread, so apologies if someone has posted before, but sometimes when I post a quick reply, I will get the error message "do you really want to navigate away from this page?" It's intermittent and I haven't identified anything that says when it will do that and when it won't. I'm on MacOS 10.6.8 and Firefox 15.0.1.

ETA - it did it this time. ;)

Emily,

New posts since your last visit are at the top of page 1 - everything after the "threads below" marker can be ignored. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, you shouldn't have to go on page-after-page ???

No, you're not misunderstanding. It's just a small annoyance since it never did that before the forum changes that I recall. However, thanks to the tip above, I just did a "mark all read" and it went away. It's just a preference, not a bug at all. Thanks, Jeff, for checking!

Me too -- with Windows 7, Chrome browser. It's after my post goes through successfully, though it doesn't look like it did. If I click "Stay on this page", it then warns me that I can't post again for 45 seconds. But I didn't try to post again. This entire sequence does appear to be some sort of bug with the "Post Quick Reply". Just happened to me above when I posted the reply to Jeff.

OK, I just had that problem, as Emily described. I rarely use the Quick Reply, but I just did.

I've had this happen quite a few times in the last couple of days as well. Chrome and Firefox, Windows 7 64-bit if it matters.

Still only get the first page of recent posts and nothing shows up if I click to go to the next page. As a result I miss a lot of recent posts.

Goldfinch, what browser, OS and skin are you using? (ex: IE7, Windows 7, Luburox Blue)

I just went on the forum again and now I am able to see page 2 of the new posts.

How do I fix this.... I went to "Forum Actions" and clicked on "mark all as read" and now the new posts aren't bolding to show as unread! Help, what did I do?
