Another problem with the drop down master lists. When you click on the + it expands. Wehn you click on - it shrinks the list, but the - then does not become a + again and remains a -.

Where is the screen that shows my subscribed forums? If I click on "My Flyertalk" it just shows me options to change my profile.

If you click on the three bars menu at the top left it says subscriptions third from bottom

That takes me to subscribed THREADS not forums.

Yes, this is clearly a major screw-up. Hopefully not intentional (like the last unread thread business )

Following up on the notifications/last post link:

On a forum page, "last post" indeed means last post, even for threads I have previously visited, regardless of whether I am subscribed to them or not. This is clearly sub-optimal.

However from the "My Subscriptions" page it seems like maybe the "Notifications: None" line takes you to first unread?

Sorry, that's patently ridiculous. You have data showing that users reading threads that they've previously already visited want to start from post #1 , every single time they return to the thread? This doesn't pass the smell test. Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant?
I can't agree more. This just doubled the number if clicks I have to make. What data do you have that suggests people want to start on post #1 every single time?

Even if that was the case, which I can't check atm as all my subscribed threads are those I have already read, it would be silly to have to subscribe to a thread to take you to the first unread.

Oh, I completely agree, was just observing a possible difference in behavior between the two pages.

How about fixing existing issues first? Cursor is still hidden.

And: I don‘t want to see the first post when clicking on a known thread. It is completely useless.

Or it's a cynical attempt to get twice as many clicks, which I guess is good for advertising metrics.
Please could we just have the old skin back as an option? I can live without the pretty technicolor but here in the wilds of Sydney, my connection is slow and this is painful.

When I swipe left/back at the end of a thread it goes to post 1 instead to the forum.
