Navigation and display issues in updated forum interface

14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The forum interface update removed automatic navigation to the first unread post when clicking on a topic, instead always opening at post number one
  • Clicking the blue dot or star icon to the left of a post title navigates to the first unread post as an alternative method
  • The hover preview feature on the main forum page includes a 'View latest unread' option when hovering over previously visited topics
  • Special characters and apostrophes display as corrupted text on Android phones and tablets
  • Post links on the right side of the forum page are non-functional in Internet Explorer but work in Chrome and Firefox
  • The 'Mark all posts as read' function is still available at the bottom of the page next to the RSS logo
  • Email notifications for new posts now display the posted content directly, eliminating the need to load the forum website to read the message

Depends on

  • These issues were reported in 2012 following a major forum interface redesign
  • The special character corruption issue was reported as potentially resolved after the initial update
  • Internet Explorer link issue only affects post links on the right side of the main forum page
  • The workaround for navigating to unread posts requires an extra click compared to the previous functionality
