You said the New Topics button was fixed and/or that we can use the Latest Activity button at the bottom, and that's great, but I still have a question/issue:

Used to, when you brought up the New Activity/New Posts/New Whatever screen, then you clicked on a thread title, you would be directed to the newest unread post in that thread. I liked that.

Now, when I click on a topic on the New Topics screen or the Latest Activity screen, it takes me to the first thread in the topic, and I have to sift through the whole thread to figure out where I was at. I don't like that at all.

So do I need to click on something different, or change a setting, or what? Is it possible achieve the same or similar usability now?
 
Probably a PHP timeout.

Within 90 seconds and it does not happen all the time. I have left the site open for over an hour and this did not pop up. It did last week a couple of times and i thought it was the same issue Conarb was having so I grabbed a screen shot for Jeff.

Click "Go To Post" at the bottom of the message
 
So I've been using that ^^^ today and it kinda' works. I still like the old way better...

Another question: I've got probably 25 emails from the forum the last week or so, all saying there was a failed log-in attempt on my account. I've got enough of them they're starting to be annoying. Know what it could be?

Not sure what the failed login attempt could be unless someone is trying to hack in. If you are able to log in then all is well on this end as far as I can tell.
 
I can see where this update is taking a lot of Jeff's energy. It's a good thing that he is a young guy and has plenty.
 
I just posted #57. It took quite a few tries. I kept getting a message that said "missing human verification". Brent thinks that I am a vampire....maybe he's onto something. I finally logged off and back on....then it worked first try.

We can no longer see how many people are looking at a particular thread in real time.
