Need to have a hyperlink at the top of the each thread that has the forum title. That way I don't have to click on the 'forum' link at the top and then the link on the forum list.
We are working on that right now, hoping to have it done at some point tonight

Also guys we will be adding the breadcrumbs back soon, possibly by Monday if not later.


You should see jump to latest unread post on mobile. We can see if there is a static last post button we can get added onto the template. There are some differences from VBulletin. Keep the feedback coming.

But that requires me to click inside the thread .
I want to know who the last post was before opening it because that is often the determining factor in if I want to click the thread in the first place .

Some posters I’m interested in hearing what they have to say . Others I could not care less .

Don’t like having to click a thread only to find out the latest post was from someone I don’t care to read

If I hold my phone horizontally instead of up and down if shows who made the last post . I guess I could get use to that

No sir, you won't have to. We'll add a fixed Go to Last post on vertical mobile. It will be ticketed for development next week.

Kind of a hidden easter egg but you can actually thumb the timestamp of the last reply on mobile to get to the last post - not obvious (even for staff) so we will rollout a more intuitive way, and a way when inside the topic itself.

1. The formatting of a table needs work.
2. How do you embed a post?
3. Where did my trademark go? ™

You not understanding what I’m saying . It’s not a matter of getting to the last post when I click a thread .
I want to know the poster who made the last post without having to click inside the thread .

and currently can’t do that unless phone is horizontal

Looks a lot better on a mobile device. Just make the header smaller and you should have the routing at the top to jump back to the forum you're in and not have to go back to the homepage.

Yes. Much better on mobile, and agree with your suggestions too.

As I already commented on elsewhere, what happened to the search option, which allows one to find the picks of any capper they want instantly in the service thread without

having to scroll through a zillion posts to find the capper and picks.

For me that is a HUGE loss , unacceptable and inexcusable unless it is returned!!

Also, unless I am missing something, I don't see any way to retrieve previous posts for what I said or any other poster by simply clicking on

their name, which was the case previously.

If I am incorrect, I apologize and request how this can be done.

Here is an example:

I want to see if Primetime has any picks for today.

Before update, I would simply type in "primetime" in search function and find out.

Now I don't see any other way to start at post 1 in service thread and keep scrolling until/if I see them posted.

ps Actually all I had to do was type letter p or pr and automatically it would bring up primetime, and I would just hit that, and I was all set.

Hi savage1,

Thank you for your feedback.

Search performance will be worked on soon. For example when you search for a specific user, we'll default to their profile page showing all their latest posts, instead of the tiled layout view that you get now.

In the use case of opening a specific thread, like in your Service Play example, we can look at activating an in-line search that only searches the thread you are reading. If this can't be done we'll at least make it so globally searching a specific handicapper name brings you a much easier to read chronologically ordered list of relevant search results.

This was a pretty big change so if you don't see everything performing well right now, keep firing away the feedback and trust that the RX staff are committed to enhancing your experience, and while everything may not be exactly like before, we hope in time your experience will be much better across any device.

Click on any members name under their avatar and you will go to their profile page. From here you can click "Postings" to see their latest posts.

Example:

If you like to read posts/picks from specific users, my suggestion is to click their avatar and follow them. A list of all followed users will be added to your control panel so you can easily navigate to their profile pages. But like I mentioned previously, we'll make significant improvements to search so that you can plug in any member's name to quickly get to their recent posts.

Example of followed users:

I hear you-there will obviously be some growing pains, and hopefully all will work out for the best.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me the search function is invaluable and saves a lot of time and effort especially on a Saturday or Sunday, when there are lots of posts,

and one wants to quick;y access the cappers whose picks they are interested in.
