Trev -

On the "Alerts" page, would it be possible to have the title of the post highlighted or underlined, so that you can just mouse over it and click? I'm finding that on short titles, it can be difficult to find the proper place to click the link provided.

Thanks,

The other feature that disappeared was the "show only new threads"

This is what I really call 'agile' development and even with dozens of 'product owners' 👍

Looking better! One more thing - on the main page showing all the sub-forums, there is very limited information about what the latest post is in any specific forum, so for example it will say "Latest" with a time and the avatar of the person who posted last in that forum.

This page used to have the title of the last updated thread in a specific forum - can that be added back?

Cheers, Al

Hey Al, do you happen to have a screenshot of that?

We've added that one now.

This is updated now. The text is highlighted and the entire block is a click/tap target. Hitting anywhere on the block takes you to the content or you can click the username/avatar for info on the member.

At the bottom of every page there used to be a link to the Tumbler account with lots of nice watch shots. I don´t seem to be able to find it antmore, has it gone or just moved?

This morning a red box containing 4,505 has appeared on top of the "Latest" ?

That should be your alert count, here's what mine shows now:

If you go to http://omegaforums.net/account/alerts
How many items are showing in red?

It was sitting right on top of "Latest" but as if by magic it's gone now 👍

It probably needed to clear/update itself somewhere. Glad it's sorted 😀

Hi,
I think Al raised this a couple of days ago, but I'd like to second the point about multi-page threads. It used to list the page numbers and would go to the most recent page, but now it goes to the first post, meaning you then have to click the >> to get to the latest page. Just one more click I suppose but on these large-page-count threads such as WRUW it makes sense to go to the latest.
Otherwise it looks great and is a vast improvement on the iPhone.
Cheers

If a forum title is showing as unread (in red), hitting that should take you to the last unread post. If you've already read the content, it's black and links to the first post of the thread. We didn't actually change this behavior from ΩF2. If the red titles aren't taking you to the last post, please let me know 😉

Hitting the last post section will also always take you directly to the end:

The link to Desmond's blog underneath his avatar is showing as a bunch of http code, here is a screenshot -

This is on IE 11. You can also see the problem with the l/h margin, which is strangely intermittent. Sometimes I have a margin, sometimes not 😕

By the way, I'm trying to be constructive with my criticism, but like Hoi I still hate it 😉 Now here's an idea - have the new, clean, on-trend, iPhone-friendly forum for the whole package except for the Vintage forum. Return the Vintage pages to their dear, well-loved old selves with the same colours, typefaces, font sizes, background and layout as it was before. Then everyone will be happy . . .
