Hi,

We've upgraded the forums to the latest version of Xenforo. You may notice some small changes here and there. There are some bigger changes under the hood but we haven't enabled those yet. Right now we just wanted to get this up and running on the new version.

Let me know if you notice any issues.

thanks

When looking at a thread with multiple pages of posts, or a forum with multiple pages of threads, and you aren't on the first page, is there a left arrow link to the left of the "Prev" button to easily get back to the first page? Seems like the right arrow is there to easily get to the last page, but not the left arrow for some reason (at least not on the smaller mobile version).

Here's a screenshot in case it helps:

I can look into it, but a workaround rigor now is if you tap on the numbers (14 of 15), you can type in which page you want to go to

Is it just me or are pages taking longer to load? It's happening on MR on multiple devices (iPhone, iPad and PC), and not happening on other sites. Even a simple change like tapping on Mark Read take about 5 seconds to process; prior to the update it was instantaneous.

RE the Latest Posts sidebar, I think it would be better / less spammy if it ignored Community Discussion by default. I just went ahead and Ignored that forum, but wanted to drop my lil IMO

I can't seem to find the forum scroll shortcut arrows. The ones that used to appear on the bottom right allowing me to click to go directly to the top of the page or bottom. Or am I having some kind of Homer moment?

Seems like those aren't there anymore, and now there's a blue accessibility icon that is appearing at the bottom.

Where did the little man in the blue circle come from (bottom right)....?
Just realised it’s accessibility options (this isn’t on other websites?)

I've tried disabling the accessibility menu and using the desktop version on the iPhone and neither brought back the arrows.

The 1st page link should be back

Using those arrows to jump to the next or previous post could be more helpful than going from top to bottom, don’t you think? I’ve never used those buttons but maybe @Namara and @kristalsoldier are ok with such a feature. Or maybe a toggle in settings to change the behavior of the arrows.

I use those arrows all the time. But what you propose would also be helpful.

That suggestion would not be useful to me. I want a way to quickly get to the top of the page to Mark Read or Ignore. If Mark Read/Ignore buttons were also at the bottom of the page, that would work.
