This piece of software has a completely untested feel to it - far too many bugs in plain sight.

Signing out and back in didn't work, unfortunately.

Would someone mind 'thanking' me for this post?  Have a feeling the thank counter is also stuck and want to check it.  

I appreciate there's nothing inherently thank-worthy in the above text, so here's a picture of a kitten:

Thank you for brightening my day 

No.
I'm not thanking you until you send me that kitten. 😁

Here’s my two. 

I've got to say, I'm a big fan of the way this thread is going! 🐈

Cats make most things better 😻

Another issue with long threads (and I also reiterate my plea to let me choose 20/50/100/xxx posts on 1 page) 

This is obviously broken - there can't be multiple pages between 77 and 79.

I'll have both of them too.

I still can't search in one forum category. Say for example I want to search the general Competitions for 'cash', I get all the results from across the entire forum and can't see a way to filter them to competitions.

Search is working fine. I assume you are OK with the first step:

• Firstly put your search term (using quotes is advisable) in the box and click "Search":

The following "Search Screen" appears, but the search results may not yet be useful:

1. Your search term in quotes
2. You MUST select "Threads" so the filter section appears on the right.
3. Select "Competitions Time" in the "Category" box
4. Box unticked and you will only see live competitions on the main board. Box ticked and you will see both main board live comps and also Post/Text comps and closed comps in Game Over.
5. Finally select "Newest" so the order of results is logical.

TIP: I leave the search open in a spare tab so for all subsequent searches I only have to edit the search term.

I can't find any of that in the search on mobile site, which is what I use the vast majority of the time.

Re: notifications, my bell has been working although still the odd bug or it taking me several pages back into posts I've already read, and I don't get the pop-up any more either.  This has meant I forget to check my notifications because they're out of sight on the mobile view, I only remembered to check today when I switched to 'desktop site' to be able to underline in a post I really needed to (by changing to code view and swapping u in for i after making the relevant text italic - having an underline button would be SO much easier).

Those options should be available on mobile if you click "Filter Results"

I am a rejoiner from ages ago. 

I find this forum almost impossible to navigate ! 

Awful now (

OHHHHH you have to click 'threads' to get that, you can't just be on 'all'. Unintuitive, but thanks!

Slowly but slowly bugs are getting fixed for me at least

iPad, the bell notification would show unchanged when I pressed the back button after reading the posts it didn't refresh

Now it does

I have noticed that clicking on a thread seems to take me to the latest comment rather than the first post. Is there a way to fix this - I've looked in the settings and can't see anything.

I've been here for over 15 years and as AFAIK it's always done that.
