Ah that works, thanks.Just click on the thread title; same way as previously.
If the thread title is not in bold, this means that you have no unread posts in this thread, so will take you to the first post.

Is this "Areas" item discussed above then something that will be reappearing soon?
Biggest annoyance for me is, someone has just posted in the thread, notification, which puts me off, the post i'm making, i feel this is unnecessary & doesn't add anything to the forum
That is nothing new, we have always had that feature and it comes as standard.
I think he is talking about the message that pops up, when you are in a thread, and someone else has replied before you have submitted your reply.
Indded that's what i'm on about.
I actually do find it useful as the new post can often provide additional information or clarification that causes me to rethink the post I was working on.
I thought I had said, but it doesn’t work, our forum is simply too large for it to work.A month has elapsed since I made this request, and whilst I appreciate other matters of website upgrade must take priority, can a member of the website staff give an estimated time when this "Areas" item will be reinstated, please.
AgreedIt's very useful in the Quizzes and Games forum.

Was the removal of a minimum message length part of the update? I ask as I posted “York” on one of the quiz threads yesterday, whereas I would usually have had to put “York.” to fit the minimum 5 character requirement. If so, many thanks, it’s much appreciated.
I agree - though I tend to go straight to Advanced and tick by date, which gives "newest first."Any chance the search system could be adjusted to order threads and posts in reverse date order By default, ie most recent first?
I’ve noticed that when searching for existing threads (with the titles only box ticked) it generates a fairly random set of results.
Yep, that's fixed it. Thanks! P.S. I prefer the IET over the 220Sounds like chrome still has the old version cached. A 'hard' refresh using ctrl+f5 should force it to reload the correct logo
What, in the banner or in general?Yep, that's fixed it. Thanks! P.S. I prefer the IET over the 220
The banner!What, in the banner or in general?
Ok, but I’m not at all sure what is meant by ”a post anchor on that page”?Hi
This is not a bug but intended behaviour. A direct post just takes you to a post anchor on that page.
Assuming that a process of 'continuous improvement' is involved with this forum, with a review and feedback loop....
Would it be possible to have a 'cancel' button?
At present, once you have hit the initial 'reply to thread' there is no means of escape, other than typing 'ignore' or 'post deleted' and then pressing 'post reply'. If you simply leave the page without posting your reply, the draft seems to remain in limbo, awaiting your return.
Strange as it may seem it is possible, having pressed 'reply to thread' to realise that, in fact, you haven't actually got anything useful to say!

Just do what I do and ignore the apparently "in limbo" text. If you do later reply to the same thread, just blank the draft and write from scratch; the "in limbo" text won't appear. If you don't reply to the thread again, that text won't pop up anywhere else.
Ah, I also didn't notice that. I was thinking bottom right next to 'post reply' and 'preview'.The function already exists
Towards the right of the formatting bar there's a save icon, click on that and a "delete draft" button will appear. See below for a visual aid:

I believe the forum staff will tend to do it once for you if you've made a mistake in it or have some other specific reason, but there is no other option to do so.Is there the option to change your user name? I'm board of my name
