Checking with the host on this. I can now see that the emails have not in fact been sent and they are instead frozen in the mail queue.
Very frustrating.

Going to give this another shot to see if anyone gets any notification emails. I'm hoping this issue is now fixed.

That's a relief. I think this whole email nightmare might finally be over.

If Joe is happy; then just change the coding/directions on the platform so that the latest postings come first when you click on the thread.

@bigdog - The problem is that this functionality was never a part of the core software. The old software had a third party developed add-on that provided this functionality. It wasn't perfect but it worked.
Unfortunately I have been unable to track down a similar add-on for the new software. I will continue to look for one, but the odds of finding one are getting slimmer by the day.
If there is no third party add-on available then the only way to introduce this functionality is via custom coding, and that will probably be cost prohibitive.
Is there anyone else that used this feature?
Hi Joe,
Yes, I always had the preference set to the latest post at the top of the page as it saved a fair bit of time when viewing a number of threads.
Cheers,
Rob
Hi Joe,
The "jump to new" button mentioned in an earlier thread by @peter2 and also by @Trav. below definitely sounds like the answer to the problem raised by @bigdog & myself.
Unfortunately I can only see the "Ignore" and "Watch" buttons.
Are you aware of this problem and is there a solution by any chance?
Cheers,
Rob

@Joe Blow I like to use the Preview button before posting and the new format works but doesn't pop out like the old version did.
Functional yes, but maybe it's just me adjusting to the change.
Example below - The new preview just adds it below the post which took me a couple of attempts to notice what it has done. I have highlighted the Preview below as it doesn't really stand out.....anyway not a big issue but if it could act like a preview with a new window or something then I would be happy

Hi @Trav., I'll look a little deeper into this today but it seems like this is the way the post preview functions on the new software. I'm not sure if there are any additional options or settings, but if there is I'll let you know.

Just a thought for preview message work around, if it's achievable - if it can't pop out maybe set the word Preview to PREVIEW BELOW in capital letters, bold and coloured Red so it really catches the eye.

Agree 100%. I was just typing up the same thought @debtfree . Also wouldn't mind the same "bold/colour applied to a Members name when they are quoted in a following post as well, if possible for the same reasons. Or even just the complete quoted post being in a slightly different font or colour or both??
Those little contrasts make all the difference "visually"
On that note, Member's avatars seems smaller/less distinguishable?? Could be just my settings, but I used to log on and recognise Members posts by their pics, but now I have to look hard to see who has posted, and that feels a bit less personal?
As an example, when @frugal.rock first changed to his cat with the googly eyes, I thought my computer had been cyber attacked
and now I'm not even scared at all lol ....ps I dont' mean the Avatar size on the threads ... It is perfect ... I mean on the Forum/Home page/Login

@Joe Blow another minor observation which you might be able to have a look at ?
When you open a thread the menu opens like below with the New Posts etc rolled down
As you scroll through the thread reading the post the New Posts sub menu rolls up like below
After I read the thread I like to click on the New Posts button ( my favorite ) but when hidden it now takes 2 clicks to get the new posts......yes I know I can feel you rolling your eyes at me, but if the New Posts could be visible after reading the posts then happy days !!
