Not sure if already mentioned here, but it would be great if a page could show more than 10 comments/posts. A drop-down to select how many are visible would be handy.
Thanks

It’s been mentioned (and ignored) several times, I suspect someone will eventually respond.

Hi @Gers
When viewing a board's index, you should see a bell icon just above it. 



You follow from that bell, then you can manage notifications from the bell in your screenshot. 

Apologies for the confusion.

OK - thanks, got it now!  'A' for patience.

I may be nit-picking but I would prefer the date and time (both) to be in the title of a thread on a board's thread menu.

Currently we have just the time for today and just the date for prior to today.



It makes it more difficult for me to orientate myself as to where I left off reviewing thread titles at a certain time, in my case about 8:00pm yesterday.

+1 to this.

The worst thing is the drop down that appears nearly every time covering what you are trying to see!!!!

Hi,

when clicking on Latest Threads, it takes me to Recently Created, (already ticked), I click Recently Commented, but later it's back to Recently Created.

Is there a way to lock it on Recently Commented?

It has become abundantly obvious that this software package is not fit for purpose. It is riddled with bugs and not fit for purpose.

Time to ditch it and licence a tried and tested product - It needs to be clean, look business like and work.

At present we have form users debugging the software on behalf of MSE!

This forum software, introduced a few years ago, was a massive downgrade. We were promised improvements would be made at the time, but it seems nothing happened back then.

I used to get email notifications which told me all the content of new posts. They were great.

When the forum software changed, I got a useless email with massive oversized font for the thread title, but very little in the way of useful in-post content. 

Now, since, the "improvements", I don't get email notifications on my legacy subscriptions at all.

It seems to me that none of the forum software's developers use email notifications  themselves because I doubt they woud have sanctioned such a massive downgrade a few years ago, and it doesn't seem to have been tested properly now.
