I'm so lost now every time I get to the last post of a thread. I keep looking to move my mouse to the breadcrumb trail which is right there to go back to the forum I was and I mouse around for like 3 seconds every time and then remember it's gone. So I have to scroll all the way to the top.

What do you edit to see the quotes to your posts on your message board. I get the notifications alright but I have no idea who quoted me or to what post.

Sorry, I didn't read through 9 pages, so forgive me if this has been asked or suggested. Is there a way the fonts can be black? As in black black? Right now, the color is like a dark gray color, which is way better than teal, but still not providing enough contrast. Can we just have classic blackity black black, much like everyone's bike these days?

As far as I can tell, the OP of a thread is no longer marked as such in their subsequent posts. This was a useful feature in some complicated threads to make sure we knew who were were responding to and who was taking the main conversation off track. If this feature could be brought back, I'd greatly appreciate it.

For whom is drag-and-drop for adding photos working? Using the photo uploader (pressing the "mountain picture" icon when composing a message), I can browse my computer, or put in a URL (without the [img] or [url] crap), but I can't drag and drop into that window, even though on my computer I get a thumbnail with a green plus in it hovering over the window. When I drop . . . nothing. This is with Firefox.
The "go to first new post" arrow does not work, still; takes me to first post, no matter how long I've been reading a thread, or how far I've gotten in it.
The date a thread started is still AWOL, still: this interface devotes a whole line of screen height to the poster's handle; there's no reason why the date the thread started can't be added.
Re himespau's comment just above, I'm not having that problem using Firefox -- the OP's posts to a thread all seem to say "thread starter" on the left.

What happened to the bike lists? Last time I checked BF was about, um, bicycles.

I don't have infinite scrolling on my mobile, but I also disabled infinite scrolling on my desktop site. It may be that whatever you choose on desktop, your mobile setting will follow.

Text and pictures now run off the right side of the page for me but there is no horizontal scroll bar for me to see it, the text and pictures and text just disappear, like my view have been cropped. If I go down to 50% on the zoom I can see it all but that is not optimal and for probably 50% of the pictures I am only seeing half of the photo. If I choose to click on the picture then it comes up in a sort of photo preview and I can see it fine but I never had to do that before.

Pretty difficult to scroll down in a long response thread like this.
Main thing though, Put a Link to the Forum Set (ie Folding Bikes) at the bottom of the page as well as the top of the page.
It used to be like that, but the bottom of page link is not there for me on Windows Right now.
Very Brave. Keep it up. The system has been an Anachronisim really. Hey, thats OK.
Thanks for working on it though.

Well I guess you’ve finally found a solution to the problem of getting redirects on mobile devices using the desktop skin. You’ve made it so annoying to use the desktop skin on a mobile device that nobody will ever use the desktop skin anymore due to the fact that legitimate ads now block the viewing area when you resize (zoom in) on the text. So I have a choice of the text being too small to read with the ad off the text, or I zoom in where I can’t read the text at all because the stupid ad blocks the text.

Please set infinite scrolling to OFF as the default. It's a terrible feature. Let us enable it if we want it.

This may have been covered but what about going through all our old posts. Are they saved? I only have some back to 2016?
Also, I thought I had more than 2,000 posts?

I just tried to upload both multiple and then a single photo from my iPhone into a new post but got error messages. They would show 99% uploaded and then I’d get a message that there was an error with the upload. Thoughts?
