The way I used to navigate the forum was by having all the threads listed down the main page, and if there was a new post on a thread it was automatically bumped to the top. To get back to that from a thread I would click on New Posts, or whatever it was called, at the bottom of the page. I don't seem to be able to do this here. Is it possible? If so, can anyone tell me how, please? It included threads from The Scoop, MAC Chat, other brands, counterfeit, and stash sales.

You can click on ''What's new?'' on top of the page to see the latest activity. :)

Yes, we can add new smilies, but for now, we have some kinks to work out that are a priority. Thanks for your inquiry & hopefully we will have some new additions real soon. :)

Of course, that goes without saying :)

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I can imagine you have tons on your plate at the moment. Best of luck with the remainder of the conversion - hope everything goes smootly.

Before I had a tab at top right that was my subscriptions. These were the only threads I would view. Is there a way to re-subscribe or is that feature now hiding somewhere from me? Thank for all your hard work making this jump. I know there's lots of details to work out!

If you go to your settings at the left you can find the subscriptions! :)

If you go to the settings page, it will display your subscribed posts with unread comments (although i havent figured out how to get to the new posts directly as the link takes you to the first post of the thread). for now i have sorted ti show latest first.

I really miss this feature. Now I have to look where the new posts start. I hope the feature will return soon. :) But no pressure! I can imagine how busy you all are.

Call me a spoilt brat but I'm missing some of my favourite smileys (the crazy one with the rolling pin, the dancing bananas, pompom, etc.). Is there any chance they will come back or are they gone for good? Or maybe they are there but I missed them (been a looooong day)?

I'm delighted to see this wee guy though:

YOU BRAT! JK. :D I'm also missing a couple of emojis that I like to use. But I'm glad the fluffy guy is still here

that was a feature of the previous platform we were on. If there is enough interest in this feature can we put it on a short list for our dev to review and see if he can code something like that for us. Barring cost if we can make special features like this people really enjoyed a lot from our previous software happen on vbulletin I'm will totally support it.

Thanks so much, Janice. I really did enjoy the feature, but I know you guys have a lot on your plate working out kinks, etc. So no worries about it. I appreciate the quick response!

I really like this feature too. :)

Yes So much!! Its hard trying to figure out where the new posts start esp when it is an active thread. For now if you go to "general settings" and scroll down there is an option to change "Thread display mode". if you keep that to "Linear-newest first" it will take you to the last post instead of the first page first post!!

Yay, I'm so glad you're back!

I'm definitely missing the ability to go to the first unread/new post in a thread. Edit - DUH, found it!

I also kinda dislike how narrow the main forum is - before it fit in around the gallery & ads but was full screen width after that. It's not a major issue for me, but will take a bit of getting used to for sure.

ETA on some pages the narrowness is causing things to be squashed up:
