Heads-up that I just finished an update to the forum SW to bring it up to the latest phpBB release (3.3.5). If you see anything behaving badly as a result of the upgrade, please let me know by posting in this thread. In theory, you shouldn't notice much of a difference, if any.

I guess one thing you may notice is support for Emoji symbols in addition to the built-in "Smilies".

So if you are posting about :unicorn:s or :dolphin:s, you can use emojis to do it now by embedding something like :unicorn: or :dolphin: in your post. As always, the Preview button is your friend. :+1:

One bit of convenience lost is that if you are looking at a topic within a forum, you no longer have the useful tag on the screen to jump directly back to that forum's screen to display all its topics.

Thanks, Rich! I think I've fixed the issue with "breadcrumbs". Let me know if it's still not working for you. That points me at some other things to double-check on.

Seems that I cannot mark all the unread posts as read anymore? Or am I just being blind :)

It looks like the link for "Unread Posts" has disappeared. I'm pretty sure it was on the Test site, because that is the primary link I use on the DAN. I would have missed it first thing...

I think that updating the theme files to fix the missing breadcrumbs caused the "unread" button to disappear. I'll track it down and put it back.

The "Unread posts" button should be back on the navigation bar. Thanks for pointing this out.

There should be a "Mark topics read" button inside of each forum. Are you looking for something that marks the entire site as read?
