- Workaround is to Mark This Channel Read

i don't see that option anywhere

Kind of covered previously, but a specific use case that might help to track down the bold unread threads in forum bold indicator still showing for forums where all threads have been read in that forum

- View a forum with no unread threads
- Reply to a thread
- Go back to the thread list within that forum
- There will be no bold threads since you've read the post you've just written
- Go back to forum list, the forum in which you've just replied to a thread will be bold (indicating an unread post)
- Go into that forum, no bold threads marked

Something very odd with the searches in google.

I've just done a search using the normal google method. A lot of the threads returned say 'You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page' in the description and if I click the link it takes me to the page but with a response started as if I'd responded with a quote. I am currently logged in.

The URL for the Purchased Laptop for example is https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/...eplyto=2800368

With a reply to on the end? Never seen that before.

Yes, that was a problem - Google started following the links to the "Reply to thread" page

I've set noindex on that page now, so it should disappear from the search index as Google revisits.

There's a new bug: I can see the manic Russian emigre's threads again.

It was fecking magic when I couldn't, the relief was palpable.

You can no longer attempt to reply to closed threads, you'll be pleased to hear.

And I've restored the old functionality for ignore lists:

• You can see threads by people you ignore on the thread list pages;
• The posts of people you ignore will show as a small banner with the message "This post is hidden because its author is on your ignore list" and a "Show/Hide post" toggle.

Can't seem to edit the title of a thread any more (it used to be edit then advanced on the old one)

I need to fix that if only because of how often I mess up the Roman numerals on Monday Links
