        For the whole forum or individual categories/boards? If you look at an individual category there is an RSS link by the title.

            Before I was using
            https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss
            it was probably for the whole forum then.

            Now thanks to you, I spotted the RSS link.
            The one for Home pfSense Packages gives me something.

              That's expected, the feed doesn't pull from subcategories so it's showing what it just in that one category. I think the global 'recent' lists above may be what you're after.

                    Click this for a giganto editor box:

                    For the white theme, see above, you can change the skin to a color you are more comfortable with, and we area looking into other themes.

                        For code you can just surround the text with ``` (before and after)

                        Like this:

                        code code code
                        

                        Quotes just start a line with >

                        But you are right there are not buttons on the composer for them, we can look into that as well, but there aren't any options I see to turn them on in the stock composer.

                            I just found a way to turn on the code button, it's there now. :-)

                            This is some code

                              True, that does feel like a long time but once you get three upvotes on anything it clears that requirement from you. It helps limit accounts that sign up and spam. :)

                                      Well it may takes weeks to get 3 upvotes without your intervention 🎅 . Maybe this "feature" could take into account the numbers of posts of the user 😋

                                        When they said "extensive", they weren't kidding. However, I don't think much of the new format.

                                        How do you mark a forum as read?
                                        Why am I seeing messages years old, when I have sort by newest selected?
                                        How do you go to the latest message in a thread?

                                        Based on what I've seen so far, I'm really not favourably impressed. This seems to be the dumbed down sort of interface that appears to be the fashion these days.

                                        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

                                            How do you mark a forum as read?

                                            Temporarily or permanently? You can permanently ignore a board by opening it and then changing it from Watching to Ignoring, then it won't show up in your unread list at all.

                                            Why am I seeing messages years old, when I have sort by newest selected?

                                            On which category? By default it should list the newest topics first, unless maybe one of them got set the other way accidentally. Make sure "Sort By" is set to "Newest to Oldest"

                                            How do you go to the latest message in a thread?

                                            Click on the double down arrow in the post count:

                                            Based on what I've seen so far, I'm really not favourably impressed. This seems to be the dumbed down sort of interface that appears to be the fashion these days.

                                            Of the available choices that met all the requirements we had, this was the best of the bunch. We can tweak the look and feel over time, so I wouldn't expect it to look this way for very long.
