Where do we report issues with the new forum?

When I click on a category, for example Bottoms, I only see the first page of posts listed in reverse chronological order. I don't see any possibility to page through older posts.

I see this both on my phone (iPhone) and on my PC (Chrome under MacOS).

Another annoyance is the following: I click on a thread that I haven't read until the last post (for example, post 10 out of 100). Then I click on the double down arrow to get to the end of the thread.
When I click on the back button, it takes me to post 10. I would be better if the back button took me out of the thread instead of returning me to the point of entry.

I also notice that the home screen freeze is still present. For me, this makes the mobile version almost unusable and would suggest raising the priority of this bug. My reasons are as follows.
(1) On the iPhone, when I save the link to the forum on the home screen, there are no back buttons at the bottom of the screen. This means that I must use the back swiping functionality to go back. Almost every time I do this I get a screen freeze and must kill the process.
(2) If I use a browser window instead of the link, I do have back buttons. However, they disappear when I am scrolling through a thread. This means I must first reverse directions of scrolling to make the back button appear before clicking it.

I am constantly seeing this notification and could do without it.

If you click “Post quick reply” with an empty text box you get the following notification. It’s not immediately clear that it means you didn’t actually post a reply.

@sabergirl i don’t know what that means. I don’t , however , see any page down arrows like I do on other threads. It’s like it just ends.

Hmmm…are you on a computer? I can see if just fine looking at my phone. Paginate is one of the settings for mobile where instead of infinitely scrolling it divides the feed into pages. We’ve been advised to do that to prevent the thread title from flickering as we scroll. I’ve got a red arrow that goes right and left at the bottom to scroll through the pages. It’s right above the blue bar where you can hit a down arrow to go to the very end, or up to the top.

Thanks @sabergirl sorry if this has been covered before, but how do I pagínate?

To those of us who miss the Recent Posts feature having the full text of recent posts without having to click in (my main mode of forum navigation), I downloaded NetNewsWire, an iOS RSS client, pulled up Recent Posts, clicked the RSS icon, then loaded and saved the RSS feed from it into the reader. Now I can open a recent post feed and swipe through the full text just like the old days. Images don’t work but you can click in to see them.

@mclaincausey Thanks for the heads up, will look into this. Still not getting used to the Recent Posts topic list.

Also, I just flagged a spammer. What caught my attention is the way the postings are phrased. The last one a few days ago was also pretty specific in regard to where it was posted and how it was an actual reply to the thread. Is there anything in regard to the new software that enables that kind of behaviour? Almost seems like someone is using ChatGPT to create spam posts...

I have tried customizing my notifications settings on incoming "Chats" with an email and notification, but I am not getting emails when new chats come in. Checked my spam folder too just to be sure. Is this feature not functioning? Or did I mess up the customization?
