Forum Update - Test it out

yup, it goes from readable size to tiny to readable but half wide and finally to readable size...if that's what you mean.

First unread....is there a profile setting for that, instead of in the threads?

Well, it is much faster and I do see a difference in style. I like the speed and the format is OK wither way.

I just remembered previous threads about needing to show who the Original Poster is, especially on long threads.

Can that be put in the new version? Maybe at the top of the page?

I am enjoying the new format. However, it does not appear to remember the last entry read on a thread. It takes me to the first posting. Am I the only one who has this happen and if so, is there something I need to set up to change this?

You'll need to click the little blue triangle next to the thread title, rather than the title itself.

I was thinking the same thing but it may be something associated with using the new format for the first time. I was having same issue, now it appears to be working.

I'm finding on threads I have NOT posted to, but have looked at, when I open them up, I go to the first post. I click on view first unread...it takes me to the end of thread or the last thread...not my first unread.

Really don't like how this is function now.

The same thing is happening to me - I would think it's just a temporary "work in progress" glitch.

I have gone back to the old style until we get some notification that the new style is stable and/or production-ready.

I still wish the thread title automatically took us to first unread. And the stupid little blue dot were the option to go to post 1.

Dont know about anyone else, but when viewing a main page (like my subscriptions or "new posts"), I cannot zoom on a smartphone. And hitting that little blue dot is a PITA.
