Please can we have the 'New Posts' option back on the menu.

Click "What's New" or "New posts" at top left

It's not there on the Talkgraphics.com main page.

They are both there for me

That's because you're not a moderator

There was also a very useful option in the previous version Unanswered Posts. This was a really quick way to make sure that each post was responded to promptly.

Am I missing this (always likely)? And if not can we add that link back?

Hehehe, mods can't see the "New posts" button.

**gracehjs** · 18 August 2010, 03:57 PM

Why do they keep moving things! I know I will get used to it, but the "view first unread" went from the left to the right. The new colours looked washed out to me, so I find it more difficult to see what messages are new.
Maybe I just don't know how to navigate properly. If I use the "new posts" button I get mixed up messages from all the forums - not just the ones I want to see. I prefer to cycle through one forum at a time - is there a fast way to do that.

Hmmm...ironic that most Xara users preferred the darker user interface and now the forums get whiter and brighter.

It's much too bright; can we please have an option to change it?

I think it would be nice to be able to have a choice of themes. Many forums allow the user to change themes. We could organise a competition to create the most interesting/attractive/popular whatever theme for the forum! Seasonal themes! Get your crayons out and start designing a Christmas theme for the forum!!

There is one thing missing from the banner at the top, that would be very nice to have back. Parahandy's car. For those who are new Parahandy was a member here who touched many with his spirit and his art. Sadly he passed away some time ago and the car was added to the banner as a tribute. Could we have it back?
