Threads marked as 'new'
There are two recent threads on this Site Feedback board that, no matter how many times I read them, they always have the flag set. They are not straightforward run of the mill threads but nevertheless they should conform to convention - that convention being that once read they are no longer marked as . Both have been…

when I try to do a search on the MSE homescreen I get diverted to a mostly grey page which is headed "how this site works" and is mostly a disclaimer about giving financial advice etc. Fair enough but I can;t find any way of getting through it to see my search results. I must be doing something wrong but for the hell of me…

In the old forum, there used to be a way of showing that posts had been read when you had finished reading them, and leaving the forum. Haven't read all the posts in this section, but Is there any way of doing that with the new forum?

Two Alerts for Private Message
A private message now creates two alerts, one on the envelope symbol and one one the bell.

Not tested the other…

Now not even getting the weekly MSE Newsletter
Can @MSE_Laura_F, @MSE_James, @MSE_ForumTeam5, or @MSE_ForumTeam2 (or anyone else from @MSE), tell me why I'm now not even getting the weekly MSE Newsletter, please? I have no idea if this is connected with the fact that I'm still not receiving the email notifications for the forum.

Alert (Bell Symbol) Showing Unread On Other Pages
Does anyone know exactly what clears the notifications on the top right? Quite often I find I'm clicking on the notification only to find it's a post I've already seen.

The word Report appears to have been lost when the forum appearance changed a few weeks ago. Was that a deliberate intention or was it something that perhaps should not have happened? Whilst looking at those…
