Posts from the last 24 hours or so seem to have been lost, but not a big deal I suppose.

I'm struggling to understand how to jump to the first unread post in a thread. I'm aware there's a "jump to new" button but it doesn't seem to work for me.

A bit less banners would be appreciated too, but I guess you guys can't do much about it.

What do you mean it doesnt work? It seems fine to me.

And lets be totally clear: we can't do anything about anything, only thing we can do is informing the devs about it.

When I click on it, it takes me to a random message that I had already read.

Just tried it in the Remco Evenepoel thread. It took me to the message #1123, while the first unread message for me was #1340. Incidentally both were written by... Logic-is-your-friend.

The good thing is that when I go back to a topic that I've opened with this new interface it automatically takes me to the first unread message by just clicking on the title. So I guess it won't take long before this is a no issue for me.

Forgot to mention I am now browsing by mobile.

True. I guess we need one.

Ok, then I guess the migration messed up the read/unread infos.

I have a question. Is it possible to link to specific threads in a message on another thread?

not sure what you mean, but on the top right of every post you can click on the share button and you'll get the url of the post itself, so you can link it anywhere.

Looks like my last few posts are gone. I'm sure no one is going to lose any sleep over that, but maybe it's pervasive after a certain time stamp?

I think we lost exactly the last 24 hrs of posting in the old forum. If you lost also others posts, let me know.

Thanks. My question does not make much sense in hindsight as you can simply just use the link of a thread.

But is there a way to tag users ? like if you use "@" in front of the name of a user.

Question 1: On a PC/laptop screen, why is so much real estate being wasted? I went into one thread and the top 385 pixels and the bottom 100 pixels (out of 768 pixels) were the header and ads top and bottom of the page. That's not a lot of real estate in which to actually read anything.

Question 2: The real estate is used better on mobile, but how do I get to the latest page of a thread, the only link I see takes you to the first page of the thread.

Go to the bottom of the page and click on the arrow, instead of next.

So to get to a page I could get to in one click previously, I've now to click, scroll (and scroll and scroll and scroll), and click again?

I don't hate it, visually it's nice. What I miss is an actual link to the front page of www.cyclingnews.com. I like to swtich between the front page and the forum, but right now there is no actual link to the front page.
