It's not the Unanswered Threads that are missing, it's New Threads (which was confusingly called New Posts on the old format but wasn't the same as Unanswered Threads or Recent Posts).3. Unanswered threads - This feature does still exist and can be accessed by clicking 'Find Threads' in the forum's navigation and clicking on 'Unanswered threads'
Agree!It's not the Unanswered Threads that are missing, it's New Threads (which was confusingly called New Posts on the old format but wasn't the same as Unanswered Threads or Recent Posts).
On a computer it used to be located on the right, along with Staff Online and Members Online. On a phone (browser, not app) it was at the bottom of the forums list.
It showed the last 5 or 6 threads that had been started in the whole forum (except general chat) and it was very useful to see what's new on the forum and if someone might need urgent help. And to quickly weed out spammers posting in quick succession too, and to notice accidental duplicate threads!
The current What's New button shows latest posts, both new threads and reactions on existing threads, so any new threads while you were offline are drowned by posts in busy threads.
Unanswered Threads serves part of this purpose, but it won't show new threads if someone already replied to it.
I'd really like to have this feature back in some form.
An Undo Rating button would be helpful
Mechanically it does that, But its cack handed. I have to list the responses, scroll down, find what I did, then I can change it. The old system suited me better Simple Reset and click. It only reset my response.If you click the rating again, you undo it. I don't know what alerts you may have received just now, but I rated and undid it within seconds.

A bit of a b***** to use and edit if your using portrait & emojis.

My crippled hand can't do that
And so was the agree button .And a hug button too, I know they’re only buttons but they can convey a lot
what arrow under your avatar?Sorry to be a total nuisance again!
I have just used the arrow under my avatar and my diabetes? type is .........................
I have no idea!
Why is it so hard to get information from an information service?
Where is the fire trucking blogs forum?
Hi @GivernyForum colour scheme - We're aware people don't like the red theme and will be offering an alternative to choose from! We'll let you know when this is ready.
What about giving them a bit of time?Sorry, sorry, sorry!
But the thing is, I went away for a while as the wife, the dog and the grandkids were ravenous. I digress again. I just don't like short posts on this new thingymyjig.
Anyway, I fire trucking had to log in!
I didn't log out!
Again my first attempt was unsuccessful, however I used my auto filler in thingymyjig on my pad.
That worked.
I'm frustrated!
And still no-one has answered the red hot fire trucking question?
Where are the blogs?
I have posted over 90 blogs for members to read.
They may be boring and some stupid, obviously not everybody likes footie or sport.
But there are a number of observations from somebody who has fought and battled against medical incompetence, misdiagnosis and obesity. Amongst other things.
I would be very remiss with whoever has changed the format.
So many on here are not conducive with the sudden change in format. A large number are elderly and have had to learn how to use digital platforms, we are not of the computer generation. We need guidance and informed special treatment to navigate the terms and what this button does, what happens if you click on this or double click on the wrong place or wary of deleting stuff or posts.
Anything new, should be easy or compatible to the older platforms.
Too much is liable to put posters off! Don't forget, it is beyond a lot of elderly to even join the forums!
Enough! Well yes it is! I like a rant!
Maybe too far!
Why can't I see the fire trucking blogs button?
It would get your goat too!
Please @Giverny, @Administrator. Let me know!
At least you had the decency to reply after two hours!!!!What about giving them a bit of time?
They're obviously still working very hard on getting things to work right, shouting harder won't make it quicker, and tech teams are not magicians.
I fully understand you're very worried about the disappeared blogs and rightly so, and I'm sorry I don't have any answers for you. But you asked about the blogs two hours ago already.
Personally, I prefer the tech team to spend most of their time working on improving things, not on replying to every post on this thread.
Can't see one! What colour is it? I've looked on my phone and PC and don't see any arrows@zand underneath the avatar and forum description 'master ' there should be a downward arrow, with your info about posts etc and what diabetes type you have.
it is so **** ******** frustrating, nearly as bad as watching my footie team!
(mod edit)
Nope. Not for me on either my android phone or laptop.@zand underneath the avatar and forum description 'master ' there should be a downward arrow, with your info about posts etc and what diabetes type you have.
it is so **** ******** frustrating, nearly as bad as watching my footie team!
(mod edit)
I see them in UI.X mode or UI.X dark mode, but not default mode. I use the website not the app - usually on an ipad. I've just checked using my phone (also use website not app) and the arrow is not there in portrait mode, but does appear in landscape mode.Can't see one! What colour is it? I've looked on my phone and PC and don't see any arrows
.
Does everyone else see them?
