What happened to the "new posts" link

My standard way of reading the forum has been to go to the main forum page, and click the “new posts” link which shows what is new since I last read the forums.

The very last step is to again load the “new posts”, then click “mark all as read”, and then a quick scan for what has changed between my first and my most recent load of “new posts”.

With the “new posts” link gone, I am lost. Yes, there’s a “What’s New?” link, but that seems a lot harder to use.

Please give us back that “new posts”.

Also do “select all” (ctrl+a) and choose the menu from the drop down

Yes, that works. Thank you.

It’s still there, but white on light grey. Thanks for reporting it -
we’ll get the stylesheet sorted out.

Pretty annoying. I had to look three times to discover it.

While you are at it, don’t forget the “Welcome” at top-right, also white on light gray and it’s been that way for ages. Suspect no-one bothered reporting that one. :slight_smile:

any progress to report?

They’re still working on it and a few other things. I expect that when
there’s progress to report, it’ll be fixed. :slight_smile:

Also no problem - I know what it’s like to be in the dark and wondering
what’s going on. :wink:

Excellent. Thanks. I’ll be able to have the old theme again.

Hmm. I posted too quickly. The “new posts” link works. But “Mark Forums Read” does not work. It seems to be just text, not a link.

It works for me, and it has worked throughout even when flying blind. :slight_smile:

Works here fine. Thanks for fixing the issue.

It looks as if “Mark Forums Read” works in firefox, but does not work with rekonq or konqueror. Today, I happen to be using rekonq.

I forgot to mention, it was SeaMonkey where it worked, so it would work in Firefox here also.
