Slightly less? If I can't see new subscribed threads than it's basically unusable.

If you hit the Hamburger menu in the upper left and click "Subscriptions" you can see them.

But this requires extra two taps...

Hahaha I know, it's taxing. Although this is only an additional step from the User CP. If your homepage was the forum index/a thread index, it'd be the same number of steps.

True, it's an additional step from User CP. The thing is - I have a bookmark to User CP page, where I used to see all subscribed threads and subscribed forums. Now they're separated - I no longer can have a single point of entry to see and decide what I want to see first. In my humble opinion, this is a reduction in usability, or regression if you prefer.

Have you guys heard about AB testing? or UX? I would strongly recommend you test your ideas before they're deployed onto production environment.

I'm with you. As a long time contributor with thousands of posts this will mean I contribute much, much less in future. It's fundamental functionality.

The mobile skin will never have the same UI/UX as full desktop. If you would like to have those subscriptions immediately viewable, you can change your bookmark to: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all

The Point of entry to decide what you want to view first on Mobile is the side menu. From there, you can click on My FlyerTalk, Subscriptions, your PMs, from anywhere on the forum.

It used to work the way I described and everyone was happy, it got removed and you're telling me having to tap more is for my convenience... I don't buy it.

Is this a coding issue of sorts? Have seen this a few times now on mobile (iOS, Safari). Probably smilies not loading?
