@Kathryn,

When I go to a the forums, and there is a new topic in a thread, the font of the title it bold, and the number of replies number becomes a link in blue. Clicking on that number takes me to the latest unread post in the thread. 

I also sort the forums threads by Oldest Post First.

If you click on the field 'Replies' where it shows the number of replies, it takes you to the first unread message.

If a topic's number of replies is an active link you may click on it to get to the first unread post.

Under

Under Account/Preferences/Processor Usage it's too bad that the terminology "Switch between tasks every ..." wasn't changed to "Switch between projects every ..." which is what it really means. This particular mis-leading parameter description caused me lot's of problems when I was trying to set up my computers, until I got a very derogatory response on one of the forums.

Community|Statistics

There is a top teams list at the bottom of the page, showing the top ten.  A view more link takes you to a view with 50 teams per page, which you can sort by four different columns.

I did not use the version on the old site, so don't know how this version compares.

Biggest issue I've run into

Biggest issue I've run into so far is it'll keep me logged in at most for thirty minutes and then it's a case of going through the login process all over again.

 

EDIT: That and nobody's userpics are showing in the forums.

... it also seems that when one creates a new Thread, the First Post does NOT show signatures properly.  For example, in my LPTP Thread, under Rules, my signature is just displayed as Text; the BBCode is ignored.  However; subsequent posts show the signature properly.

TL, could you post a link to an example thread where you don't see your signature? Thanks

 

I'm not TL, but I'll post the link.   https://einsteinathome.org/content/last-person-post-here-wins-22

Edit:  It's only the first post, I think.

Thanks for the assist in answering for me, Kathryn.  Yes, it's the First Post in the Thread, (any Thread), that if the signature has BBCode in it, the BBCode is ignored and the signature is displayed as ALL Text.  Just checked now, while typing this, and it still shows as ALL Text; meaning that the BBCode is printed out and is fully readable.

Messages How can I access my

Messages

How can I access my old messages written in the forum again ?
The link "Messages" (BOINC Manager) now brings up my PMs (Personal Messages) instead the ones of the Message Boards.
