If a user is not logged it, they will see the 5 latest posts. If a user is logged in then the quick link to New Posts will show all the posts since the user last logged in (probably up to some limit). All the portal did was to put that (recent posts) in a different place.Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 3:15 pm The problem is lurkers can't see what are new posts apart from the very few at the top. The Portal gave them a quick in to read all the new post for at least a day (mostly AoS). Now it is only signed in members who see a indication of new posts and what threads have been updated. As I say Lurker numbers have halved, and we are a forum of small number of member and very large number of lurkers - we need to cater for them.

Re: Forum Upgrade
I thought the site was down today, clicking on to my HFS box took me to an error page. I like the Portal.
Re: Forum Upgrade
What's going on? I go to pfm thread, reply and submit, there are two more posts that I was unable to see showing, before submitting post.

Have cleared all cookies again, am seeing and acknowledging the cookie warning notice.

Safari isn't the world's greatest browser - its' fairly indeosyncratic (geared to media playback rather than standards). Have you thought of using Chrome for Apple?

Re: Forum Upgrade
Could be a caching/refresh issue. Could also be multiple people posting at about the same time.

Caching issue - I've had to clear the server side cache a few times this morning.

Do try Chrome, you will be amazed at how quickly pages load compared to Safari.

Doesn't save login on Chrome either.
