Could you, as an Admin, also check out the MM - as I can't seem to post in there?
Are you serious? Really, genuinely serious?
If so, I'm going to ban you until you've been to Specsavers at least twice :p
 
is there a way to mark everything a read, as I'm used to logging on, and even the threads I don't read are marked as read, therefore when I log on again I see what is new. At the moment EVERYTHING is marked as new, which is killing my use of the forums.

Threads I do read are marked as read..
Yeah, there's a button at the very top left which says "Mark Forums Read"
 
There was a button for that in vBB.. I don't see why it wasn't kept as a button for XF. Now having to click, load, then click again to go to first post is a PITA and a loss of functionality. The button was right next to the thread title in vBB, too.
Not sure if this helps.

On a thread where you have unread posts.
Clicking the yellow envelope icon goes to the first unread post (the first one with a 'New' tag in the top right).
Clicking the thread title does the same.
Clicking the time/date under the username on the right hand side goes to the very last post in the thread.

On a thread where you have no unread posts.
Clicking the grey envelope icon goes to the first post in the thread.
Clicking the thread title does the same.
Clicking the time/date under the username on the right hand side goes to the very last post in the thread.

No, sorry it probably doesn't help, jeNK but at it least it helps me get my own head around what does what!

/edit - Yes, I agree with you, it would be a handy button to have.

Previously I could choose to not display an avatar. Will that come back? I realise I can turn them all off, but I'd rather just not have one myself.
We don't know yet. At the moment it's sigs and avatars on or off, no alternative.
 
I can't find a "view last post" button, which makes using the forums extremely laborious as I have to go to the last page, scroll to the bottom, and then scroll up til the latest post I haven't seen.

And you lack manners and/or the will to live. I am not going to read a 124 page thread to find the answer. If you can't respond in a non-douche way then don't bother replying at all.
If you'd even bothered to look at the front of GD or the front of the main forum list, you'd have seen the sticky and the announcement. If you'd looked at the first post in this thread, you'd have seen the announcement. If you'd even looked at one of the 124 pages in this thread (I only see 26 pages), you'd have seen it mentioned.

It's everywhere, all over the place. I really don't see how we can make it more obvious. Is it any wonder we're getting frustrated with people not having the ability to see further than the end of their noses?
 
That was me but the Mods took no notice
Just because something hasn't been implemented instantly or commented on, doesn't mean we're not looking at it.

This is something that's already been raised (before we even went live, actually).
 
Collapsible forums is listed in the first post on page one.
Being able to change avatars wasn't listed, I've added it. I'm not sure if that will change or not, avatars are allocated by rank.
 
Yeah this is new for me. It was working perfectly and then yesterday or early this morning it suddenly stopped working. Very strange. Also using the latest version of Chrome on Windows 10.

This is how I think it should work at the moment.

Clicking the thread title will always go to the first page of the thread.
Clicking the envelope will always go to the first unread post (this could be anything from the first post in the thread to the last post).
Clicking the time of the last posting over on the right will go to the very last post.
 
Is there some chance of adding image auto resizing so when giant images are uploaded they don't look stupid? This must be a feature of the new forum platform surely?
Images wider than your screen width are automatically resized to your screen width. I'm not sure what else you want from that feature.
 
Could the OCUK icons on the left hand side of the individual forums change to reflect if there are new posts in that forum since your last visit? So you could have something like the all white design that you have now and the one with the red colourings for when there is a new post in that forum?
Item #24 in the list on the very first post in this thread.
