      Another issue is the new site doesn't seem to know how to sort on age. Even though I have Sort by set to newest to oldest, I see a variety of dates mixed together, such as a day ago, six days ago, a day ago or six days ago, four years ago, eight days ago! How is that sorted? Why am I seeing topics from years ago, mixed in with recent ones? Why can't I mark all those old topics as read??? Someone else mentioned the new site was designed for a 14 year old girl. Perhaps she's the one who designed it.

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

        Let's tone it down a notch. Feel free to point out what you don't like, but there's really no need to be that descriptive.

        That only happens when you log in for the first after migration, it's because all that really is unread on this new platform. Click on unread icon (second icon top left) and from there, click on "Mark as Read" > "all".

        That should do it.

          Wow, this forum site new look, is different. It is not good.

          Why was is changed? Is it trying to compete with snapchat/etc?

            Main reason is GDPR compliance, SMF was not GDPR compliant. More about reasons for new forum: https://www.netgate.com/blog/introducing-the-netgate-forum.html

              @ivor said in It's good to be back.:

              Click on unread icon (second icon top left) and from there, click on “Mark as Read” > “all”.

              Previously there was a button that cleared a forum. Now, I have to click twice, to reach a list where I now have to choose which forum I want to mark as read. What's wrong with having a button in each forum again?
