Me no understandy .. are you posts not in chronological order?

No they haven't been - I am trying the unsubscribe button to see if this fixes it up mate , just getting used to things

When you post it automatically subscribes you to that topic and those one appear on the top and the others appear under it in chronological order.

So if I post something in a topic yesterday it appears above a post or new topic that someone may have posted moment ago.

Unsubscribing fixes the problem but be good if you could turn it off..
Or still sort the forum in chronological order.

Starred topics are also in chronological order, think of it as a priority list
If you click on the star it unsubs you. Quick workaround.

Personally I like the feature. Came in here to figure out how to monitor threads not posted to by attempting some sort of click / swipe on the thread heading, but realised it's at the bottom of the thread when opened.

Name of person who started thread please.

I dislike it as well - maybe make subscribing an opt in not opt out process

Links to external pages are going wrong in Firefox: - "Unexpected Error"
The link in the first post in the Lancelin results page is an example:
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/Western-Australia/Lancelin-Results?page=1#11
Click the link and get an error.

Works ok in Chrome.

This is an odd one. I've seen it happen once, but it was only a once off - reloaded the page and all good. Is it happening everytime for you, or is it transient?

Yes I have not had any link work in Firefox either by direct clicking on the link or right hand mouse clicking "open in new tab"
Only way which works is to directly copy the link and paste it into a new tab

I get the same error in Chrome and MS Edge

Address bar comes up

Using iPhone 6 plus with safari - can not edit a post one minute after posting it. I get this message - incidently i can edit this post in the General but not in Longboarding.

Shall investigate this (and the other things mentioned) today/tomorrow...

"View Last Post" does not work with FireFox. :(

Different browsers are behaving differently for #lastpost type links.

i.e.
Firefox & IE don't go to the last post.
Chrome, Safari & Edge do go to the last post.

From what I can tell, a programatic fix might be needed for Firefox/IE .. shall investigate.

Being able to edit posts has just been fixed, as well.

The author of the thread should come up rather than having to find it.

when clicking on forum it only goes back one subforum , not back to the frontpage with all forums and subs listed . Is this how it's supposed to be laurie

Goes all the way back for me, to www.seabreeze.com.au/forums .. what's it doing for you?

The "search" function in buy and sell doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Wasn't a problem yesterday? If you can check this out please Laurie.

Indeed, and fixed.

Also,
1) you can now choose whether you subscribe to a topic, via the "Subscribe to this topic [x]" checkbox when you post.

and

2) the "Last Post" arrow should now take you to the last post for FireFox.

goes back one sub forum so from general kitesurfing to the parent kitesurfing folder

The master forum list is a bit smarter these days .. when you return to the "top level", it puts the most recent forum you viewed at the top, and if your scroll down you find all the other forums. (Which is perhaps why you think it's not at the "top")

Upgrade just put through.

1) Nobody mentioned that the "Compact/Detailed" setting was lost everytime you returned to the site?! Must have been annoying if you had to press "Detailed" every time...

2) Layout for desktop/mobile upgrade to a what (hopefully) is a better design?

3) Posting .. the "Add Photo" links to under the "Post" button, as they are used much less - makes it better for mobiles - less scrolling to hit the "post" button

4) Shrunk the New Post entry box on mobile, again, to save on scrolling

5) Added the "New" indicator to show posts that are new since your last visit.

6) .. and some other nifty stuff.

Thanks to all for the feedback so far, I do believe we're getting there...
