How do I change back to 40 posts per page instead of 20? And how do I find when I last logged in and which posts are new since my last visit?

God knows.
there’s still loads that are a mystery.
and this lower case letter thing is driving me nuts.

I use an iPad, and I can’t see my badges, or post dates, and the profile bar thing at the top of the page doesn’t work.
plus my keyboard doesn’t retract off the page when l click on It.I have to refresh the page!

Changing the number of posts? I doubt you can.
As to identifying new posts, the system will do that for you but it takes a bit of time for it to get all the cookies properly updated, since those are where the last viewed data will be held. Because this is a completely new system, as far as it knows the first post in any thread is the first one you haven't read so that's to where it will jump.
If you go up to the top right and click on the profile button, the dropdown includes entries to "Mark All Viewed" and "Mark category Viewed". The former will mark all of what we used to call Boards" as read whilst the latter will just mark the current one you're on as read. Doing that a few times and refreshing the pages should get it all caught up eventually - it has for me.

I think there's no more dqwd - you can edit, but I can't spot a delete yet. 

Well, you can edit to remove most of the text, can't you?
Just leave a bit in that says something like "Too late, you should have read this post sooner"

I made it here.....having a look around to see what I can now do and what I can no longer do but at the moment I don't find it too bad.

That was torturous. 

I was locked out all day!  Panic over. No idea what's going on

I've had an expensive day today, Jazzy cat had a funny turn earlier so it was up to the vet. Cue lots of crying from me thinking that I would be returning without Jaz and that this was the end and lots of calming down by middle son.

Jaz is now home complete with anti inflammatory painkillers as he has developed arthritis in one hip and one knee, one dose later and he thinks he is a kitten again!

The vet was seriously impressed though, over 11 years ago he performed an operation on Jaz to create a muscular hip joint but was unable to operate in the other side (double hip displasia - he operated on the most severe side which is still holding strong) and it has held up much better than even he was expecting. He actually thought he would have problems way before this and was concerned that it would all limit his activity....well as Jaz had the funny turn after running around at about 300mph in his excitement that I was home from going shopping, it's not limited it much, if at all!

For information, Jaz is 13 this year.

I’m having a lot of problems on my iPad with this new forum. On one iPad, I can’t get the .forum at all, and on this iPad, I can’t use the profile/bookmarks/notification/log out features in portrait mode, (my preferred mode), as they are hidden, and so I have to turn to landscape, which I hate.
Also, when typing a post, my iPad keyboard covers half the screen, and the keys are slow and get stuck. Then, when I’ve finished typing, the keyboard won’t go away unless I refresh the page. 
I think I might be in desktop mode, but don’t know how to switch to mobile mode.

I am also having problems accessing the Forum on this iPad too. It’s all becoming a bit of pain, to be honest.
I might have to take another sabbatical!

I found it easier to view in desktop mode on my mobile, it was awful in mobile view. Mind you, I've always found MSE awful in mobile view and have always switched to desktop view....think that is a sign of getting older!
