No offense meant to any of the previous posters, but I am struggling to understand what people are struggling with. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
While I, too, liked the indicator of the number of new posts, that is the only thing that's missing.
- We still know which forums have new messages, as indicated by the tractor icon on the left
- We still can go directly to the latest message, as indicated on the right.
As soon as we click on the forum, we see how many new threads and messages there are. I used the post count to determine if I had the time to enter the forum and read the messages. Now I do one more click.
I also fully understand the reason for the search restriction that was implemented. Too many people searching almost 300,000 posts was impacting people trying to do anything else on the site.
