There is a difference (problem) with the RSS feed. I found this link in the HTML: https://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?forums/-/index.rss

However, unlike the previous site, it's only showing the original post in each thread, not follow-up posts.

I can't find any help/doc'n for RSS.

Is there an URL that updates with new posts? If not, is there any way of fixing it to work like the old site?

Could you reinstate the heading 'Recent unread topics' please?

Mod note: moved from another topic to here.

Go to "What's New" on the main menu (or the lightening bolt on mobiles) then choose "New Posts".
That will show you your latest unread posts. You can also use the filter button to further refine the search to things like only showing threads that you've posted in.

Having used it for a few days now, it generally appears to be a painless transition from a users point of view.

My only criticism is the theme - there is a lot of text in grey on white, which I find hard to read. Black on white would be easier.

I really do like the dark navy logo at the bottom of the page, maybe we could look at expanding on the use of this colour. Q will be cursing me 😁

I don't know the first thing about DNS lookups, but I know I like what I see. Great effort, and massive thanks to all involved. As others have said, the transition is almost seamless from a user perspective. I agree with Pegasus about the banner at the bottom of the page. I think that looks particularly stylish.

I've just found the button that allows you to switch to Dark Style (bottom left corner). Much better now I've made the switch. (PS and question for Q: SInce Window 10 allows users to have a default setting of "dark mode" which can be applied to all stuff, could that default setting be applied to UKC instead of haveing to select it for yourself?

You beat me to announcing it :LOL:

It's actually just been in testing (and may yet change) and I forgot that the button had shown up! It's now in it's permanent place on the member menu (click on your name at the top).

I've done a bit more research, and I've found this request on the Xenforo forum asking for exactly this feature. No response though, I'm afraid.

Clicking on new post displays Topics with unread posts and clicking on one of these brings me to the first unread post in that Topic (in this case your post above). That's how it's working for me anyway.

May just be that I haven't looked at it since the update then.

Top job for all involved, looks fantastic!
One question when I click on latest posts and check the hilarious Friday jokes page it always comes up with the first page from long ago. Is that a my computer problem or just how it is?

If you click on the left link ("Devonshire padlock") it takes you to the first post. If you click on the next to the rightmost link ("27 minutes ago") it takes you to the latest post.
