Thanks for the tip and that works except seems a bit round about looking for other people's posts, but honestly mostly when I do this, I'm looking for something I authored.
I added a request to the Wiki post.
Add 'News Feed' to main forum menu items. This link allows members to see what posts members they follow have made.

Personally, I'm finding the new forum set-up far too busy and confusing. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to it, but I've found that I'm logging in to MR Forums considerably less frequently than before.
Also, Forum Spy (that I used to use a lot) only shows about six recent posts, so seems pointless now.

@Mildredop Forum Spy is a work-in-progress right now, see this thread for details.
As for the new design, I'm liking it a lot and it gets better each day, while Arn tweaks things based on user feedback. I'm actually visiting it more often now than I have been the last few months.

I just noticed a change to the number of posts per page... awesome job! Thanks, @arn
UPDATE: Apparently it's just on the New Posts page. The message threads still have a 25 post/page setting. #babySteps

How nice that you've got a Retina display there @arn! I'm currently using several hacks to better utilize the pixels on mine when browsing MR. Perhaps these could be added as features?
- Restore the custom Retina smilies that were used on vB.
- Serve twice as large avatars (up to 192x192 on forum threads) when a Retina display is detected.
Two things.
- Perhaps this is a bug. Of course, it could also just be how it works. I started writing a response on a thread. I decided not to post the response. Now every time I visit that thread, the text that I entered as an intended response (but never posted) shows up in the reply box as if I had just written it. Is there a way to clear that? I've been able to make it go away by closing down my Firefox browser, and then reopening it and visiting MacRumors. To me, that seems like a drastic step.
- Can we get a REPLY TO THREAD link at the top of the thread? In a case like this thread, in order to post a comment, I had to scroll down through 25 messages to get to the REPLY box.
As to your first question, I believe that is standard behavior for XenForo. I frequent many other XenForo forums and this behavior happens in all of them. I'd like to know how to clear that as well.
I'd like to see some highlighting of the OP in the thread. Its helpful especially in long threads to see that the person responding is the OP and addressing what ever posts. It helps with the flow of discussion and makes things easier to see that he's the OP.
I'd like to see a vote down option for posts like in reddit.
Some posts are just internet bickering, mods don't seem to do anything about it. Yes it's the internet, but make macrumors a quality one. It reminds of me the cartoon where two dogs are chained up, they're barking like crazy about to bite each other. Once unchained, they've got their tails between their legs.

I'd like to request the option of receiving MacRumors forum alerts as push notifications.
This is where Tapatalk really shines. I wasn't aware that Safari could do push notifications.
Since I was tired of waiting for this feature, I wrote a script which brings it back:
I can share it for anyone who knows how to implement custom JavaScript on webpages.
Is there a way to get the "Daily Email Notifiction" feature, that sends only one email per forum, back? Rather than "watch a forum", which now causes me to receive a separate email every time when someone posts inside it?
It's be great if the iPhone 6 and 6 plus could show more information on screen than older, smaller iPhones?
Everything seems a bit big.
Maybe a new breakpoint or two in the CSS?

"unintended bug" more like unintended feature... A delete button on one's own posts, even one that expires after the first 5 minutes, would be a very useful feature to have.
Otherwise, posts that say "Deleted" and accidental/duplicate posts will continue to be a sight on these forums.
On my iPad, I can jump to the very top of the page by touching the top of the screen (not sure how Android works). Also, I read this forum in a browser that has a gesture to take me straight to the bottom. Which is to say, in the first place, the up arrow is not useful. In the second place, I have no need for the down arrow. So that red arrow pair, apart from being huge and unattractive, just annoys me.
I realize that others may be fond of it. Could I please at least have an option to make it not exist for me?

Well, people do use desktop browsers too, where there isn't some sort of a built in go to the bottom or go to the top feature. And even in a mobile browser, unless you get and use some particular one it would seem, there isn't a built-in go to the bottom option (and I'm not sure that go to the top one is necessarily there in a built-in fashion on some other mobile platforms like Android or Windows Phone).
I understand all of that. I do not want no one to have the big garish red arrows. I just want them gone for me (i.e., make it an option).
