Sub forums have lost the bullet point between them and now there's no indication that there's new posts in them.

Yup - it'll probably come back (the ATV3 teardown thread brought quite a number of guest views to the forums, so they got a bit slow for a while there).

Hi,

Regarding the zoom problem with the top control bar, if you zoom your computer broswer to 400% you can replicate the problem.

Cheers

I've noticed logging in today that Forum Jump at the bottom seems to have disappeared, it was definitely there last week Huh

Personally I find it immensely useful when either finished reading through a thread or scrolling down the posts in a forum, so I'm at bottom of page to then use Forum Jump to switch to another forum. Hopefully this is something that has accidentally been disabled.

we need preview thread when hoovering over with mouse. Is this an option that is being considered?

These option take a big hit at the server.

Yeah - the "Forum Jump" I really miss.

There is at least a 'Return to Top' button.

Is that due to the new software? The old forum always had a Forum Jump as far back as I remember, and I been visiting here for many years, in fact I struggle to think of any forum I visit that doesn't have it.

Personally without Forum Jump or some kind of breadcrumb at the bottom like there is at the top, I now find the forums a right pain to navigate as I never come on the forum to only look at a single area, I always jump between General Discussion, General Help & Support, Feature Suggestions, & Development as I like to keep on top of what's going on.

Thanks I hadn't noticed that, makes it a bit easier, but still a right pain compared with how it's always been.

It must be the software, I noticed on the the iPhone and iPad trying to bring up the "forum jump" (before when it was still available-on MyBB) was very slow and difficult to choose another sub-forum.
