I have to agree with the OP- that is a HUGE waste of screen space. And mostly useless. It would be different if we could dismiss it.
hamburger button hides it
Using my best imitation of Emily Litella, “Oh, that’s very different. Never mind!”
is there a trick to getting your unread topics to actually show that they have been read?
I get the indicator that I have, say, 2 unread posts in a watched thread. then I click on the thread and read them. But when I go back to the list they still show up there and when I refresh the list the same indicator pops back up that I still have the same 2 unread posts that I just read.
I pointed that out too that the only way I’ve gotten past it is to scroll top-to-bottom on a message but I’m finding that works most but not all of the time.
I’m being patient @petro, I am! I do hope we revert back some of these things to the old style, I’ve found it cumbersome enough that I’m not really answering posts because things are still a bit wonky.
It’s still migrating profiles. We are going to have to wait some time before we see if things are bugs or if they are related to the migration.
That explains why the read/unread count is off, the server is probably pretty bogged down and can’t quite keep up with the JS requests.
So does the (=) equal key. At the bottom of the hamburger menu there is a keyboard icon with all of the (handy) keyboard shortcuts.
I can’t page “larger” screenshots:

Yes, that’s due to the currently migrating profiles. When the migration is complete, that will work again.
Thanks for efforts for moving to the new design.
Will a corresponding Blog article be issued?
No. Discourse just updated. If you want to read up on changes, head over to discourses website and check it out. It’s an open source forum hosting software. The server went through its yearly update, that’s all that happened. This is new for us too
These links might be useful:
Where is the “latest” button?
At the top of the page… (where it always was)
It won’t currently let me post a screen shot unfortunately.
Its no longer in the menu thats accessible by clicking on your avatar - thats my biggest bugbare with the new version of discourse
Sorry, I had to be more specific. I do not see it in the mobile version where is was in the hamburger menu. And not in the new menu as well as in my profile picture…
Another thing (might also have to do with migration?) is that the read counters do not disappear when I read it but stay…
I am no longer able to upload images to posts.
I would attach an image of the error but I can’t lol
