If I remember, I'll try to mention here changes made to the forum 'under the bonnet' that you might notice.
Latest one is that the title of a thread now descends with <<Prev/Next>> as you descend the page, so you can still see what the thread's called when you're at the bottom, useful if there's been a bit of thread drift.
A couple of days ago I also rigged it so that 'in-forum' links, ie to another post/topic on this forum, open in the same page instead of a new one.

Thanks for all your work on our behalf, FFS. Just out of interest, would it cost a fortune (is it even possible) to get rid of the banner ads? Could we have a whip-round?

The ads I can live with. What I would like to see is the "View Recent Threads" link at the top of the home page, to avoid scrolling to the bottom, if at all possible.

Not too sure what you mean, lapourtaider, as there is the Active topics link at the top which opens the Recent threads section and shows all updated threads.

I only look at the forum on my phone (if that makes a difference), no active topics button.

And the view Guests have is this:
In both the Active topics button is clearly visible.

You can install an ad-blocker on your browser. I've got one Still get great blocks of forum taken up by strange messages, though. Not a big deal, in the grand scheme of things.....I just wondered...

I have no ad blocker but I see no adverts - for a short while I did see the covid boxes at the bottom of the page but even these have gone now. How? I use microsoft and set the security setting to maximum. There is a disadvantage however in doing this, I don't see any of the tweet messages posted - but there again perhaps not a disadvantage.

Just in the last few days I find that one tap on a topic is not sufficient to take me there. Instead a small black "speech bubble" pops up with the opening lines of the topic displayed. I have to click on the topic a second time to actually go there. Double-clicking in the first place is no better. i am using an iPad.
