I don't know what everyone else sees but on my iPad, each time I open my link to the forum I can clearly see a link to the latest forum posts on the r/h side just below the advertising banner, it's easier than the old forum.
What I'm missing is an ignore thread button ;)

That's not quite the same though. For example, I just used the New Posts link which showed me three posts. I then visited two of them. Then I tried your Latest Posts link and that showed me the same three posts again, including the two I'd already seen. A refresh didn't correct that.

Yes we know all that,
but if you`ve finished reading a thread you don`t immediately have a `New Posts` tab - you then need to navigate to Menu, a sidebar slides out from the left, scroll down in there to New Posts - its a bit of a faff

I noticed that I don’t stayed logged on anymore even though the stay logged on box ticked. Every time I visit the site I have to log in. Very annoying
Much the same here. I stay logged on on the PC but not on my iPad - strange.

Don't throw your toys out of the pram, I don't know what you know, how would I ? I'm not your enemy !
I only ever log in via my iPad, probably once every day ot two.
Latest posts / new posts, if it's been 24 hours since I last looked what's the difference.

Russ, I think if you put in a top horizontal menu option with the link to new posts you would make a lot of people happy. Looking at the code it is a pretty basic thing to do.

Electric bikes - kits - emtb - road/commute - new posts

Something like that might work in about the same amount of screen real estate.
HI anotherkiwi,

I've temporarily added a "What's New?" link as per your suggestion.

I'll have a chat with the developers next week to see if there is another solution.

Thanks
Russ.

I get the same problem in staying logged in. Have to relogin every time I open my browser. Win7, Chrome Browser, on laptop. presumably this is a cookie being deleted ? I don't run any cookie cleaners or ad blockers

Sorry you don't like it, it's quite difficult to find a design that pleases everyone.

This update has been a huge change so it wasn't possible to keep the same look and feel. We're still working on it and it will probably take a few more weeks to get everything bedded down even with all the testing that was done beforehand.

Thanks
Russ.
Are the upgrades complete?
If so, how do you ignore threads that you are not interested in

Hi,

No, there are still a few forthcoming changes.

The ignore threads feature unfortunately hasn't been updated to work with XenForo 2 yet so we're waiting for the developer to update it.

Thanks
Russ.
