Well, at least the "style sheet" problem appears to have been sorted, but other than that, we, the users, are apparently being ignored – not by the SD team I hasten to add, but by the forum software developers, who have taken no heed of comments made in this thread.

I did alert the forum developers to this thread as soon as it was started. I've yet to hear back from them.

The UNREAD button on the forum home page is definitely NOT working as it should. There are new posts appearing in this particular forum which are not returned when pressing the UNREAD button.

This new forum interface still hasn't got some very basic functionality. It is, e.g., lacking the possibility to jump to the last unread post in a thread. This is something I am sorely missing because in longer threads or threads I haven't visited recently I have to hunt for the position I left off last time. Most other forums have this. Why not this one?

I still haven't figured out how to quote a post in my reply using my ipad but this is referring to Tim's last post here.

I assume you are paying the forum developpers? Not having even heard back from them is a bad sign I wouldn't tolerate from somebody for whose service I am paying....

I totally agree with you Chris. Why the change in the first place? There was nothing wrong with the "old" interface. It worked well and had all the functionality that we are now missing. A case of change for change's sake if ask you me. If it ain't broke – don't fix it!

There's functionality to jump to the first unread post in this new forum. I used it the other day. Perhaps it's just moved from where you were used to seeing it.

Chris, what would you suggest that I do? Write them a strongly-worded email? (already done)

The UNREAD button does NOT return unread posts in the "Suggestions and Beta Discussion" forum. The very forum in which this discussion is taking place!

Edited to add:-

Has anyone worked out how to post a reply to a quoted post? I thought I had succeeded with this reply, but it appears in the forum without Tim's quote.

There are several open source forum software packages out there. Many of the forums I visit use one of these and are maintained by a single person who does it on his spare time (i.e., there isn't really much upkeep required after it's set up initiallyI). These forums all are more user friendly and powerful than the SD forum.
