Welcome to the new Hearing Aid Forum!

The HearingTracker header takes some space and then the forum header takes more space. Combined at the forum homepage it is about a third of the screen.

No zoom is enabled. I checked another browser too. I compared to the nytimes.com as a test. The second thread in your screenshot is a little taller than the site header which matches what I see too. The fonts are still large. Perhaps this varies with OS or phone screen resolution.

Are you just talking about the home page? I don't really see the header as an issue because once you scroll down to the posts and click on one, clicking back doesn't bring you to the top of the page again, so in effect once you've scrolled down, the header is gone. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your issue.

I have a font size fix which is coming soon. You'll have to let me know if the small option is small enough.

One has to scroll past that all each time one opens the forum page or goes back to it via a method other than the back button. For a signed in user what is added with the screen space?

OK, check it out

For reference, here's our small font option vs nytimes on my phone (no scaling on nytimes).

I went through the initial signing in routine for the new forum ( get a link via email) a short while ago. I was then able to sign in using my email....until just now...when I was asked again to give my email and was sent a link. I assume this is just a glitch and I won't have to do it again?

@AbramBaileyAuD ,

I appreciate all the hard work you have done on the new forum.

Will the forum have an archive section for old post's? When I click the Latest button, I get 419 pages of post spanning 20 years. Sample link (here). Just curious.

There is a hassle with quotation. I cannot write immediately after it, because the cursor is at the beginning of the quote, instead of outside of it, as it was in the old forum.

Many times, I unintentionally "edited the quote" instead of answering under it as my response.

It may be an iOS issue. Small font here versus normal at nytimes.com:Normal here and normal at nytimes:

The show new replies button is jumping to the very end of the thread (section after the last post). Is it supposed to jump to the first new reply?

Same thing happened again just now...I had to go through the whole rigmarole of going to my email...getting the code...and inserting it, so I could log in. It doesn't seem to remember that I have already gone through this procedure.

I get a cursor right after the quote when I try. What are you seeing?

Can you go back to having the thread title in bold when it has new posts? It is much more useful imho. Have already read post in grey is just fine - can ignore them completely instead of having to look at the blue circle number of new posts.

We have gone back and forth on this, and just wondering if this is the consensus. It seems people have different preferences. I'm ok with either, just want to make sure I'm not playing whack a mole.

Secondly, I got a notification because of a like to one of my posts several days ago. On the old site it went away as soon as I looked at it. Now it stays there and I cannot see where to get it reset.

I was torn about handling this. If you scroll past a post of your own that someone liked, you may not notice it or know who that person was. It's relatively easy for me to track that as a "seen" like and remove the notification. Is that what you're thinking.

I don't want to follow this thread. It's far too cluttered with many questions that I just simply don't care about....not just the one I'm interested in. Each question or suggestion should be it's own topic in my thinking.... oh well, I guess it's yours to keep track of, not mine.

I think in general this is true, but given how much has changed, I did not want the home page to become a flood of topics about the forum when this would have no relevance to most people, especially new visitors who don't know the old forum. But, I do think if the topic is hearing loss/hearing aid related, granular topics are welcome.

I'm checking back and keeping an eye out to see if someone has an answer to my question....and when I finally went hunting...shocked that I haven't seen it float in with a response of some sort, I see that my question is closed. Ugh! Kinda rude if you ask me....

I agree that was rude, but not intentionally! I was kind of overwhelmed patching problems and trying to keep the forum in order and may have closed that in haste without realizing your question was still unanswered. Apologies.

So you were basically asking if there is a way to make unread every unread post? That would technically be the Latest tab? It shows every unread post, sorted by most recent activity. Are you thinking something like the Latest tab but where you can mark all as read?
