    New forum is beautiful and so far working well for me. I do miss Recent posts showing previews of the posts themselves though instead of having to click in to them. Only mentioned because that was the main way I read the site.

    Kudos to the web minions!

    Congrats to the IH team on the migration. I also used to love clicking on the Recent Posts and going directly to the posts themselves as opposed to a list of the threads... any chance the old way can be resurrected as an option? Or maybe I am just not seeing the way to do this.

      I’m sorry @babyknight but the crew refuses to answer until you post an amazing photo of what you’re wearing today standing in front of an epic view of the city. Those are the rules.

        I addressed this yesterday, and was told by @jtaylor69 that this view is no longer available.
        https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/post/679291
        I'd love to have the old view back, to be honest, as this was the easiest way to catch up with the individual posts instead of the 'active' topics.

        EDIT: funny thing is - the small block at the bottom of the forum home page still contains the links to the individual posts. I'm sure there's a way to access more than the 4 on display there...

          let me take that step and see what's poppin

          @babyknight Not sure if this will solve your issue.

          Whilst we could migrate a lot of data from the old forum to the new, we could not migrate viewing history. So basically the new forum did not know what you had seen before. So if someone posted a new post in, let's say, the IH-634S thread, it knew it was a new post that you had not seen before but did not know how many posts you had not seen. So it defaulted to the first post when you clicked on the IH-634S thread in "Unread Topics". At that point, the new forum knows what you have seen, so the next time someone posts in the IH-634S thread and you click on that thread in "Unread Topics", it will take you to the first post that you have not read (just like the old forum basically)...

          Ditto for every other thread.

          Does that make sense?

            See, I'd have known that if I had that old view, @tody 😆

            That said, I think that things I post are rendering as new to me. No biggie, but I don't enjoy the smell of my own farts THAT much that I need to be directed to what I just posted 😆

            anyway, huge net improvement overall such that I was hesitant to even mention it--thanks Minions

            Think it, be it.

              Really like the new forum! Congrats guys.
              But one thing is confusing. Why is every thread starting with the first post of the thread? @AdamJ
              Makes sense on product threads, but why reading/ seeing the first post from e.g. „What are you doing?“ from 2009 at the beginning?
              Can I change it? And just see the latest post at the start in the setting Newest to Oldest posts …

                  On my iPad I can change the way you mentioned (Newest to Oldest). On the phone there isn’t this option. There you have to follow the way Giles mentioned above.

                    The way I said means that as you see more and more threads, the issue gets less and less.....

                      I think there is a bug when trying to get away from the left menu, it freezes

                      Happen a few times
                      I have to refresh the pages to remove it to go back to the forum.

                        No but that may be my fault for not explaining the issue properly!

                        On the old forum if you clicked on "Recent Posts" near the bottom (even if not logged in, so the forum had no idea what you saw before or didn't), it just showed you the most recent posts made on the entire forum. It was really great as you just saw all the action across whatever topic. It had nothing to do with what you'd seen before or not. Have I explained it better now...

                          Ha! Hi Matt how's it going. Those forum posting days are sadly behind me now, I am way too shy these days.

                            I hear that. Fortunately for me I’ve gotten much better looking with age and shyness has never burdened me. 😝

                              @Kasi i also see that bug. I’m using an iPhone. I haven’t narrowed down the exact way to reproduce it but I believe it’s when you swipe to go back a page and at the same time open the menu with the home button. Afterwards the screen freezes.

                                  Cool! I didn't even know that iOS could do that Thanks, Adam.

                                      And you will see loads of recent posts...

                                      Indeed... just that you then have to click on each of them to see the post and then click back to go back to the list of new posts, whereas on the old forum the recent posts loaded directly and you could just scroll down and read them all. that was nice.

                                      But like everything that changes, it just takes time to get used to a new way of doing things and i am sure we all will!
