Thanks Ray. An earlier Cambium post stated about 40% use their mobile devices to browse the forums; although the new interface is fantastic on mobile, the remaining majority (60%) of us on PC now have a pretty unreadable interface.

No, not working OK for me at all. For me, it's unusable. I have stopped being able to use it.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT THREADS HAVE NEW TRAFFIC / CONTENT IN THEM? HOW DO I FIND THE 209 NEW UNREAD POSTS?

I am working with our developers to find out about this.

I don't use my phone for productivity work like this - tying something long woth my thumbs isnjust going to happen. However, I though I'd try it to see how good the phine designed interface works and I still.cant findnwhere to see which threads contain new pists.
The old forums had a jumber beside eaxh thread with the number of undead posts, so that id know what was new since my last visit. Idint see that info anywhere now, mobilenor ndesktop.
So Im not just complaining about a dislikeof the color scheme.e , im basically unable to decipher what is newn old or updates or answered.

Hello Ray. The 'New Forums' thread was started November 9th 2017. That's almost 3 month's ago. You said you were 'working to find out about this' nearly 2 month's ago. Is there any ETA on when the forums will be working again? Thank you.
We are working with a developer on this now. I should have an ETA for you soon.
We have added a new feature on the home page showing unread posts. You may need to refresh your browser to see it.

Hi Ray. I appreciate that you've worked on this. :)
Where is this? In the previous forum, there was a column showing how many 'new posts' since the last time I'd read each thread. Can you include a screen shot showing where I'm supposed to see that info now? Thanks.

Hi - Check on the home page of the community and it should appear on the right just below latest topics and posts.
Hi agian. So, I'm looking at the forum screens and I don't see it any better. Maybe I'm seeing cached content or something? In forums up until the beginning of Nov 2017, there was columns for each thread showing the title/subject, a column for how many replies, and so on like there is now - but there was a column showing me how many 'new posts' there were in each thread since last time I read that thread. I don't see that info anywhere, so none of us have any idea anymore which threads we need to read. Unless I'm being a total noob and just not seeing it - which is just as likely. :)
So, for the last 3 months, all we have is a a line that says "Latest post Tuesday by CWB" and we have to say to ourselves: "did I read that thread already? Have I logged in since Tuesday or have I been too busy? Hmmm... I better go into that thread and see if I read it or not. MAN, IT WOULD BE GOOD IF THEIR FORUM SOFTWARE KEPT TRACK OF WHAT I'D READ LIKE IT ALWAYS USED TO!" ;)
I mean, yes - I can see the big number on one of the top level screen showing me that I have 503 unread posts, but no way that I can see to tell which posts those are anymore.

did you try to refresh your browser to see the list? I am seeing it on Chrome.

I think that the administrators are actually BOTs because it is impossible not to understand these basic requirements: https://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/Welcome-Board/New-topic-in-bold/td-p/83297/jump-to/first-unread-message
I don't see any other reasons.

CTRL+F5: no changes
We, users and buyers of Cambium products, ask a usable forum. Now it isn't (and it was months ago) and it would take very little to make it efficient.
@Cambium_RayS wrote:did you try to refresh your browser to see the list? I am seeing it on Chrome.
Can you post a screen shot of what I'm supposed to be looking for? I see nowhere that anything tells me which threads have new posts, how many new posts, or which ones I haven't read in each thread. But if you can post a screen shot, that would be appreciated.
@Cambium_RayS wrote:did you try to refresh your browser to see the list? I am seeing it on Chrome.
Yes, I've refreshed Chrome. I've cleared it's cache. I tried IE as well. I don't see a new post count on any of the threads no matter what I try.
This is a screen shot of what the forum looks like for me in IE. I normally always use Chrome, but this was just a test to see if it was something with my Chrome was broken somehow, but it looks the same in IE or Chrome.
So can you post a screen shot of what your's looks like, so I know where this counter is supposed to be?
Thanks.
No news? :'(
We are working on a solution that will make it easier to identify unread posts, and there will be other improvements. Stay tuned for news on our development.

OK, thank you, that will be great.:) Maybe it's just me - but the way it is now, I essentially just can't use the forums anymore. This report below isn't to harp - it's just to make sure I'm clear and that you're working a solution for what I'm seeing, and not working on a solution to something different. :)
OK - for example today, on the 'main Forums' page, it says there is 1 (ONE) new post in ePMP Beta (as shown in the attached pic)...
...but when I go in there, there is no way anymore to see which topic has that 1 new post.
As you can see, in 'ePMP Elevate' and 'ePMP 2000 and 1000', I also have hundreds (687) unread posts, but the same thing, when I go into the 'ePMP2000 and 1000' forum, I have no way to tell which topics have those 580 posts I've yet to read. The result is that I just don't use the forum anymore. It used to be a daily visit, to keep up on every discussion... and now I just can't find which topics have posts that I haven't read.
...but when I go in there, there is no way anymore to see which topic has that 1 new post.
Yes! solving this problem would be the best thing!

This would be more useful if you could filter by Boards.
