Oh can you? Well heck. That's fine, but it might be removed. :)
Can you leave the Green Dot on the avatar that indicates that a user is currently online. I like this on forums even when I'm not on staff.

I have renamed it. So, 95% of the threads in there are correct, and a few need to be moved. I guess if you could maybe report each one? Staff could then move. They sadly have to be moved one at a time atm..
Hmm, so apparently most of the threads in the F90 forums were meant to be in the Volt forums. I read them all and these are the only ones that need to be moved. Meaning all the other ones I'm sure can stay but these should probably be moved.

Would you be able to take out that "AKA: LG Lucid 3"?

I'm noticing in the "Most recent posts/trending/Favorites" bin, on bottom section of the Home screen, of the new forum the "page numbers" for really long threads are not displayed even when mouse floated over it.
For example, I saw the thread "Last Post Wins" from the Forum Games section of the Lounge in the "most recent post" bin yesterday. The thread detail shows 51,246 posts and 718,865 views, however there is no way to go to the newest post or at least the last page of the thread directly. The thread has 2050 pages!

I desperately miss this little guy (

It was a quick link that would to take you to a threads newest/last post.

It went away with the switch to Xenforo a few years back. There was a similar implementation, where you would click on the italic text of the user/date/time of the "latest post". I found that it never worked consistently enough for me. It would sometimes work on the Desktop site but not all the time, and on my mobile device the "latest post" part of the thread was either not present or did not link - I believe this was left off the "mobile theme" entirely for spacing and cleanliness?

Can it be made so that clicking the small message icon (

) takes you to the threads newest post?

---edit---
Just clicked my post from the "Popular Topics" bin to the right of the forum -------->
Clicking the thread name took me to the last post in the thread, which was mine.
I'm seeing slightly different behaviors in similar parts of the site. I think they should do the same thing consistently

Also, just noticed that "Hotly Debated" and Popular Topics" bins to the right do not load on the Home page. I'm in a device board where only "Trending Posts" bin is loading to the right. There is different behavior happening across multiple pages of the site.

Two things on thread lists:
  1. Last post / Last post time stamp - under the old system there was a timestamp of the last post that if you clicked you went to the last post of the thread. This was handy for threads you have already read but want to add something to the end. The link to the last post doesn't necessarily need to be the timestamp of the last post, but some way to quickly navigate to the end of the thread would be nice.
  2. Read / Unread thread differentiation is a bit harsh. It just seems to me that threads that are read could still be blue instead of black. The threads with unread content stand out enough being both bold and having the blue dot that navigates you to the first unread thread.

1. You should see new timestamp on thread lists, "date (date)" the first one being the latest. Link should be clickable.

2. being looked at, we agree.
 
Favorite forums is not working for me. I add new ones but the changes don't commit. May be related to my being a former staffer. Several if not all of the staff only forums were populated there already for me and using the clear favorites option did not work on those.

The site looks great. Hats off to all involved.

If you meant they didn't commit, mobile, this should be fixed now.
 
If I'm in a thread and hit 'home' the page doesn't refresh, I have to hit the refresh wheel thingy. It actually seems to be hit and miss, sometimes it does and sometimes not. I thought maybe it was a timing thing but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Resolved? Please test.

There should be a little blue dot to the left of the thread titles, that take you to the latest unread post. Does that help?

It is not working for me, mobile Chrome.

edit: it's not working for me on the pc either. (chrome browser)

Side question, is Android Questions forum and "ask a question" as a non member gone altogether now? Return to Android Lounge for general type Android questions?

Android Lounge still requires being logged in to post.

Android Questions still exists and you can post as a guest, but I don't see a way to access it with the current UI:
http://androidforums.com/forums/android-questions.2400/

@Phases is the "Can't find a topic, +Create Thread" section supposed to link to Android Questions instead?
 
18.2 You should already be able to do this. You should be able to add any channel (phone device 'forum') as a favorite and remove Android Devices. From either the + button, or going into a device channel and clicking the Star.

On the previous forum and on this forum ...
  1. Going to ... http://androidforums.com/find-new/15452485/posts ... would list every thread in every favorite forum that I had not read.
  2. I monitor 31 forums (now forums and areas).

Due to the conversion I was required to mark ... Android Devices ... as a favorite because it did not recognize the 20 devices I had marked as favorites.

This worked but I had to sift through new posts for all devices to find my 20.

As instructed ...
  1. I have each of the 20 device areas set as a favorite and selected no Alerts or Notifications for each of them.
  2. I removed ... Android Devices ... as a favorite.

I have a pretty big problem ...
  1. http://androidforums.com/find-new/15452485/posts ... doesn't list new unread posts in the device areas.
  2. I am not allowed to set ... Android Devices ... as a favorite.
  3. How can I list unread threads in these device areas?
  4. If I must return to watching ... Android Devices ... how can I set it as a favorite?
(@Unforgiven and @mikedt entered some posts in one of these favorite areas to help test this problem.)

On Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 I have noticed that a lot of changes I make do not include an automatic refresh. I have to do a manual refresh for them to be displayed in their most recent state.

Posting on Chrome on my HTC 10 I got the edit/cancel pop-up in the middle of a post I was trying to edit. Couldn't edit it until I refreshed.
They claimed this was intended behavior but I don't think they actually understood what the problem is, since I can't understand why that would be intended.
