Cheers for fixing my login there Hambeast!  Dunno why but it wouldn't send me a password reset email when I requested it.

There was an issue with the mail server so the majority of people wouldn't have been receiving any emails which were being sent out (registration confirmation, password resets, PM notifications, etc). It wasn't related to your account in particular but I don't know when I'd have noticed if you hadn't made me aware so thanks for that!

The email issue has been fixed. Apologies to everyone for any missed emails! If anyone is having any problems with password resets or can't log in, fire an email to admin (at) metalwarfare (dot) com and I'll look into it.

Minor thing that I doubt makes any difference but on the Unread Posts screen, the 'new' button is still on the left. Doesn't bother me but just pointing it out.

Actually, one thing I have noticed, when you refresh that page, all unread topics disappear, whether you've clicked on them or not. Before, it would just clear the ones you have read, and leave the unopened ones - which was handy when there was a good few unread topics.

It hadn't been updated on the "Unread Posts" or "Unread replies" pages. Fixed now. Thanks!

I've tried reproducing this myself but I'm not seeing it. I can refresh the page multiple times and it'll still show all the threads I haven't read. Is this a recurring issue? You wouldn't have accidentally hit the "mark all as read" button?

I've also updated the buttons at the top of the page in your screenshot. They were being trimmed off on mobile devices (hence the empty blue button). Let me know if they're too big on mobile devices or if they look silly.

I haven't tried it since the first time I noticed it TBH.

What I usually do is click on a topic, read the new posts then go back to the Recent Unread Topics page, when I've caught up on a few I refresh the page (drag down on an android phone, using Chrome). Before, I'd be left with the ones I hadn't clicked, but since the update, when I did the drag down, the page was cleared. The unread topics still had the New button alongside and brought me to the unread posts when I went into the subforums, but like I said, I just did that the once, if it happens again I'll let you know.

Edit: Just came out of this topic, back to the Recent Unread Topics page. Dragged doen and there was a new unread topic there. Might have been a one-off.

Sounds like it was a one time thing. Maybe caused by the update.

Threads should remain in the list until you've opened them. Refreshing shouldn't remove them from the list. Keep an eye on it and we'll see if it needs looked into.

Latest icon colour changes and avatar size changes all looking great man. Fair play to you!

Yeah, just tried it there and it worked as normal. Sound.

I'm going to be doing some work on the site today and tomorrow so there will be some downtime expected.

[Hambeast]

Updates complete. Let me know if there's any problems!

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

New colour scheme looking good!

[Bürggermeister]

Yeah, new blue is way better, nice one.

[The Butcher]

Yeah good choice, blue text stands out clearly.

[Eoin McLove]

It looks the same to me. What's changed?
