As far as I can recall (and I'm beginning to wonder now!) that is not how the old system worked. If you opened the 'New Posts' page, those that you had not viewed appeared in bold and when you clicked on one to view it and then returned to view other new posts, the one you had viewed was still present but just not in bold. Also, if you decided to comment on that new post then your response appeared as a new post when you went back to view the new posts list. Now this does not happen and both the new post and your response disappear. Unless you happen to remember the forum the post was made in you have to go to 'Quick Links' and then 'Today's Posts' to find the original post and your response! Not particularly arduous but something that was not necessary before, so something, somewhere has obviously changed how the system works. If it is all just down to a change in software and just can't be put back then I'm sure we can all learn to live with it once we get used it. Roger Last edited by Cribyn; 09-04-17 at 04:09 PM.

The GWF forum had an update some time ago now- I used to spend near as much time on there as here- I found the changes very un-user friendly to do searches and now only visit a couple of times a month. I'm sure though what we are going through is just glitches that will get ironed out in the end. Thanks to Mike who will be trying to sort things out. Regards, Paul.

Have we lost the 'Thanks' facility during the changes? I would like to thank the originator and contributors to the Commemorative thread re Arras/Vimy.
Obviously the facility is not vital but was a nice refinement. Thanks for all the hard work in maintaining the Forum - such IT expertise is well beyond me, and is admired and appreciated. Regards Mike

I'm wondering precisely how it worked before the update as well! I've only been using it 10 years.  There must be a script updating the 'new' list of new threads but it might take several minutes to operate. I did think about uploading the old software again. I downloaded a copy to my computer, like I normally do before I overwrote with new, but I'm not confident of reversing the process. I might do more harm than good. I'd have to revert the server software (php) to the older version as well. Thing is we have to move away from the old php for security reasons so it is probably not worth reverting things as we would still have to come forward with the software to this version soon.

I've never used the 'New Posts' function on my laptop, I always use the quick links 'Todays Posts'.
Accessing this way always shows the new posts (highlighted) and when I have opened a new post, it still appears but no longer highlighted. I don't see anything different from the way it has always been????? Ivan

After going through a few albums I get the message "The connection has timed out" and can't connect with the Forum anymore.

Quite right, it is not the 'Quick Links/Today's Posts' section that has changed, that appears to be working just the same. As far as I can tell it is only the 'New Posts' section that seems to have the 'disappearing' problem. At the moment I am using your method of reading the Forum! Roger

I can't now open attached photos. if I click on them the screen goes black and freezes. And I would echo the previous posts about posts I have already read showing up as unread.
