Issues related to 24 October 2022 upgrade
Since the "update" this morning, after which I was logged out, every time I close the browser window hosting FT and open a new window and reload the page, I am being forced to log back in.

What update? While I can still see my traditional home page on my iPhone, I’m seeing a different home page on my desktop that’s missing some items. For some reason I also lost my subscription to this forum.
What’s going on?
Edit: The problem seems to with using Firefox on my desktop. I can log in with Edge. Yet I can log in on Firefox using another desktop. Is this an enhancement as I approach my 20th year on FT?
Update: I noticed the lengthy "enhancement" thread and cleared my FT cache from Firefox. It's now working again. I don't recall such problems in 2002 but I was younger then.

Dunno if we want to start a new thread for today's enhancements, but the dropdown menus at the top of the thread aren't working, i.e. 'Thread Tools", "Search this Thread", and "Rate Thread".
... or are they? For me anyway, they seem to work on /this/ thread. They aren't working however on:
Ventana Big Sur- Alila - REVIEW MASTER THREAD
Mission pacific (JdV) and adjacent Seabird resort (Destination) Oceanside, CA MASTER
or a few other Hyatt threads I spot checked. They get underlined when you hover over them, but nothing happens when you click on them.
Delta forum: working
I wondered if it might have something to do with the hotel reviews functionality, but nope, Marriott forum: working
Dunno what's special about Hyatt, but...
and yes, this is with any blocking turned off, and I have cleared cookies and cache, forced a reload, logged out/in again etc.
EDIT: have since found other Hyatt forum threads where those menus DO work. No idea what's special about the ones where it doesn't work. Maybe # of photos or time to load or something.

I had a problem today and first spotted the thread below. In short, I was getting some strange alternative home page on my desktop, yet the traditional website still displayed on Mrs. Fredd's desktop and on my iPhone.
After reading here, I confirmed that it would display properly on a different browser, and cleared the cache for FT in my Firefox browser. Now it's working fine. Thanks to those who mentioned that.
Edit: I failed to mention that my subscription to this forum had dropped and I had to re-subscribe. It seemed an ironic touch.

I was forced to login today, and was rewarded with the new 3-D looking icon on each post to alert a moderator and the new style icon in the MyFlyerTalk view indicating at least one unread post in a subscribed forum. Unfortunately, double-clicking that new icon in the MyFlyerTalk view for the Technical Support and Feedback forum still does not mark all posts in that forum as read. Since that action works in every other forum to which I've subscribed, I've got to think it's a programming error, and one with an easy fix. Could tech support please fix that issue before tossing cosmetic changes? Thanks.

This is just lame.

Can one or both of these be changed? There's very little distinction between them from either a color and/or contrast perspective:
This is really poor UI design. Since these are supposed to be different, make them different - different color, different highlighting, different content.
Another example where having multiple icons in a column makes it hard to distinguish a read forum from an unread forum:
Maybe have _nothing_ on the read forum icon? Maybe turning its background white or buff?
Maybe going back to unbolding of the read fora?

Bring Back the Old Smileys
Respectfully... the new smileys are atrocious. They look ridiculous (exaggerated), the colors are obnoxious, and the quality is lower than ever before.
Nobody asked for new smileys (and if they did, they were mistaken).
Please bring back the old ones

www.flyertalk.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.
Starting this morning, every time I attempt to access FT, I get this message on a loop that my connection security needs to be reviewed. I get prompted numerous times, over and over, to verify that I am human. I do the image captchas numerous times. Goes back into the loop that it is verifying my connection. It takes about 5-10 minutes of this loop, verifying over and over before it finally seems satisfied that I am, indeed, human.
Don't know what you guys did to the system (assuming it's a change you made), but in its current state, it has rendered FT effectively unusable for me.

Also happening for me here as well.
Also, I can never access the site when I'm on the train via the Wi-Fi provided by the train company here in the UK. Keeps on saying that it's blocked. How are you going to serve all these ad impressions to me if you won't even let me on the site.
