Apart from the issues with the LBT that have already been pointed out there are a few more that I would like to raise.

Previously I used to get email notifications when threads that I had posted in or subscribed to had new messages. This is no longer happening. I really don't have the time or the inclination to keep logging into the site and then trying to find out if there is anything new or not and where it is. Please bring back the email notifications as it is a far quicker and easier method of replying to threads that I am interested in.

Ditto private messages - I am not getting email notifications for those either.

I don't understand the quote thing. I got a notification(not via email) that someone had quoted something I had posted. When I followed the link I could not see the quote.I am not sure what the purpose of this is or how it is supposed to work.

Please create a page where we can see a list of NEW THREADS. This is far more user friendly than having to go into each seperate forum. If I have to do that then I am not going to bother.

Please restore the functionality of being able to see what a thread is about without opening it.

I understand the change due to advertising but I do not understand why functionality that we previously had has disappeared. Surely we should be getting improvements not going backwards which is what it appears is happening at the moment.

Thank you thank you thank you to whoever suggested an ad blocker for Chrome. Holy crap what a difference. The ad that ticked me off was the one in the upper right hand corner that folded down every time you hovered over there. It's gone!!!!!!!!!! Well, all of them are gone but that one was the one that really got me. Every time I went to click on new posts it would fold down. UGH.

Hi Diva, I did send Alex a PM, and made this post. Hopefully he can find those old FAQs. They were great for newcomers.

I agree it is very helpful. I used it many times!!
