I always start off with the 'Recent Unread Topics' link and it brings up all the ones I haven't read....
Me too.
There's usually a page or two of threads that have new posts.
I prefer to open the ones that I want to read in a new tab.

Quote from: Scotaidh on August 28, 2022, 12:53:22 PMThe problem for me is that I scroll down from the top of a page, and when I get to the bottom there's not a Next Topic button down there.  I have to scroll up to the top again to move on to the next topic.

My bog-standard PC keyboard has a [Home] key. When I press it, the browser responds by flipping back to the top of the page. Yes it's an extra keypress, but it's better than scroll-scroll-s-c-r-o-l-l-l-ing as if your life depended on it. Took me about 20 years to realise it was there.  :-\

Of course, not every gadget/browser combi is guaranteed to have something similar, but worth checking out.
Cheers.

There's also the "Go Up" button.

I've made some improvements to the forum mail sending. Some emails were not being delivered, to Tophe's mail server in particular and a couple of others. Should be better now.

We seem to have lost the tally of members posts that used to appear just under their avatar on the left.  :(
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Kit, if you click on the members User ID and then look in General Stats, you'll find all sorts of stuff about that member.

Yep, I removed a few things from there to make the layout better. Not sure you need to constantly see this information in evert single post.

No, because that is for Topics and Boards not Messages.

Towards the bottom of the page, I see
"If enabled, notify me of personal messages from:" ...
And choice of Alert and Email.
