Sorry, been a while since I was here and just getting back into it - in fact typing this topic again as I missed some requirement (math captcha seems to have gone?embarassed)

 

The forum (theme) appears to have changed a lot and there seems to be no Topic with unread posts flag any longer? Am I missing something here?

Ooooh. Drag something into a circle? I didn't do that before so was that why my new topic didn't appear?

 

So am guilty of hijacking my own topic embarassed

 

Just tested again and it said "captcha not completed" but it allowed me to press "post new reply" and then "ate" my post. This doesn't seem very friendly, especially for unfamilliar users - I am a (guesstimate) 25k+ poster in forums so consider myself a little more able than most of "our" users.

 

I'll test this again now (having copied my post first) - surely I shouldn't be able to "post new reply" without the drag action?

 

Tested : said (gist) "saving post" then after a while said "cannot save post 'cos captcha not completed" ..... so basically it did "eat" my post. Definitely not friendly.

Sorry Andy, must be a bit slow today embarassed

Can't find an 'about' popup, nor forum admin theme section ......................

 

OR do you mean in "my" forum (which incidentally is still v4)?

 

What I meant by this topic (start subject plus hijack) related to THIS support forum

This IS Version 5 of SP right?
The 'about' is in the strip at the bottom. And themes have a whole section in the forum admin.

I believe that you may be talking at crossed purposes here. Paul I think that Andy is trying to deduce which theme you are using on your version of SP5 which is a modified version of the default. That is on the ABF_Test forum of course.

Andy I think that Paul is wondering where the unread topics bubble (it used to be filled red) has gone in V5 and he is citing this forum as an example.

Hi Conrad. Yes it had become clear there was some confusion.
OK so - when you say 'Unread Topics' do you mean the users list which you can see on this form to the right of the breadcrumbs above? Or do you mean the admins list that sits along the top? If the latter then this is now a plugin and requires activating and then turning on in your admin options.
