I don't think I can use the site without it.

I agree, it's been very, very difficult for me to use the site today.

Also, the "mark forums read" does not appear to work anymore.

I've always just hit the Forums button on the top Nav bar inbetween News and Podcasts that goes right to Recent Posts.

I was wondering if the fact that we now have three betting buttons knocked out new posts? If they had to eliminate one, it could be the search button, the search thing is pretty obvious up on the right in the black part on the top. I also thought the ... just right of Forum List might bring back new post button but clicking there didn't do anything.

Oops now I seem to have four betting buttons with two buttons both saying Sportsbook.

To me, it would make sense to gather those into one category, especially if we are adding on Social Groups in the future.

The "New Posts" button is no longer on the toolbar, and doesn't appear to be anywhere on the website. I think a lot of us use that.

If you make your browser wider it should show up. I don't use "New Posts" but I have the same problem with "Mark Forums Read". I think the ones that don't fit are supposed to be in the "..." drop down but that never has anything in it for me.

Minor thing but can we make the CF links open a new tab by default rather than opening in the current window? External links open a new tab and CF article/podcast links did the same before the new site. I like to keep my forum tab open on Chrome always and then I read the article in a new tab and close it when finished. Now that it doesn't work that way I ended up exiting out of CF every time I read an article. Brain hasn't made the switch that it doesn't work like it used to, especially since the external links still open a new tab.

I don't see how to select other pages of new posts..
1. I click on "Forums".
2. That takes me to a page full of new posts
3. On the old site, at the bottom, I could select other pages of new posts (just like in a thread).

Not sure what those links are missing or how I can get to more new posts.

Thanks so much - Chris added it back in yesterday afternoon. Are you still having the "Mark Forums Read" issue? That got fixed for me.

I also have the "Mark Forums Read" option back now but "New Posts" is still pushed off the end.

I can view Jared and Woody's CFTV Live casts when they are actually live but I get an HTML5 error that they are not properly encoded when I try to view them after the fact. Can you upload them to the CFTV youtube channel for an archive?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but tonight a very disturbing ad popped up on CF for me. I took a screen shot (attached). What if my kids had seen this?

On a slightly more serious note, CF keeps redirecting me to a website offering an iPhone 7 for feedback (and I am assuming my SS and credit card numbers). These sorts of redirects are the only downsides to this awesome upgrade to CF, and really aren't hurting my perceived value of what I get from the amount I spend on my CF membership.

Can we add some criteria to the search? I think it actually functions much better, but you can only search entire threads. I would like the option to search thread titles only. I've been desperately trying to find 3 or 4 threads that I missed signing up for games, or looking for a specific video, but it's impossible when it scans all threads and the first few pages are posts from the same thread.

edit: nevermind, I found it. Not a real clear way of getting to it, just dumb luck I clicked on what I searched for.

Tried to search for a similar issue, but to no avail.

When I view posts with Twitter feeds, all I see is "Loading Feed" in the post message. I tried turning off my Ad Block, but it does not solve issue. Please advise. Thanks

Mine load but it takes a long time. Some of these threads with lots of gifs,videos, and twitter feeds are just too slow to even open. Some music thread where everyone loads a video just takes forever. I suppose it could be my ancient laptop, but wasn't a problem before the upgrade.

Ever since the update, when I browse the forums on my phone (Galaxy S6, Chrome browser) my phone gets really hot & eventually gets so bogged down that it freezes up. Hasn't happened while in any other apps or any other webpages. Couple days ago I downloaded an app called 'Free Adblocker Browser', and my phone hasn't had any issues since.

I still access every other site on the Chrome browser, but go to CF on the Adblocker one. Don't think I've seen this issue reported by anyone else here, but figured I'd throw it out there in case anyone else is wondering why their phone is freaking out all the sudden.


*I do still do CF on the Chrome browser on my laptop with no similar issues.
