Mouse over flags isn't working. And that was the most important update.

Thank you for all of the work Lego.

I do not know if this is the right place, but I would like to request special handling of NSFW photos. I have been greeted by some on the main page. I assume this is something that you guys want to avoid. Maybe photos could be tagged NSFW, and such photos would not be displayed without a warning.

The flag descriptions worked on my Laptop at home, But it's not working on the desktop I have at Work.

Lego did say it might take time to kick in.

Now that is a great idea Panic, but I don't know if it is at all possible.

I'm with you though - the biggest issue I have is that I used the "first unread" indicator as the 'flag' on whether or not there was, well, anything new in a thread I was interested in.

Now, there's a tag all over the place!

I'm sure that Lego is right, and that eventually we'll train our eyes/brains to adapt to this new system, but at first blush, it does seem a bit clunky looking and unwieldy in practice. Very much not going with the overall streamlined look and feel of the site to date.

Time will tell though, I suppose!

Also as I filter through 'My Subscribed Threads' by looking for the view first unread links its just making me think that i havent read anything.
Not a fan im afraid, dropped the ball on this one imo.


I get your saying, I'm in a similar position regarding how I scan my subscribed threads for my new unread posts...
In the old way it was easy to spot the theads with new new posts

[ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...6, 7, 8 ] [First unread]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, ]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...9, 10, 11 ] [First unread]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...6, 7, 8 ]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, ]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...9, 10, 11 ] [First unread]


Now it's a bit messy with the blogs links...
[ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...6, 7, 8 ] [Blog view] [First unread]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, ]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...9, 10, 11 ] [Blog view] [First unread]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...6, 7, 8 ] [Blog view]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, ]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...9, 10, 11 ] [Blog view] [First unread]


Maybe if Alpharius's [blog view] shuffle move was made more extreme and [blog view] was moved all the way to before the go to page links?

[Blog view] [ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...6, 7, 8 ] [First unread]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, ]
[Blog view] [ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...9, 10, 11 ] [First unread]
[Blog view] [ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...6, 7, 8 ]
[ Go to page: 1, 2, ]
[Blog view] [ Go to page: 1, 2, 3 ...9, 10, 11 ] [First unread]

Panic...


Good idea. I'd be for that.

I keep hitting the blog view instead of First Unread.

It's annoying.

Maybe Blog View could be a button instead of text in brackets?

Another good suggestion/compromise!

Not sure if possible though...
