That’s a major update indeed, visiting the site from mobile confused me because the burger menu opens the sidebar, which by default doesn’t contain links to new/unread messages, which I look at most of the time. Going to “Everything” and from there I would proceed to “New” tab, but no “Unread” tab was shown in there. Hopefully I can customize it that in the sidebar properly.

9 posts were split to a new topic: Performance issues with Discourse 3.0

That was also the first thing I noticed. Why are such important pages now harder to reach? Is that something that can be configured?

The “Everything” link will point you to Unread when you have unread topics or to new if you don’t have any.

Categories and tags can be customized to link to the main page or to the /unread /new page instead.

That is not true (or a configuration thing?). For me, “Everything” always takes me to the “Latest” page.

I had 2 unread topics at that point and they weren’t shown there. As Michael said, “Everything” links to the “Latest”.

That’s indeed the way to set it, as it should :stuck_out_tongue: , thanks.


Using a Desktop-Browser I like the number, as shown above, to see if there are any unread, new messages in categories/communities I follow.
Using a mobile browser I’m missing this number on the front page of the forum. First I have to click onto a community-name to see if there’s anything new.

Any idea how to see a first sight if there’s anything new in a Community?

And how does it look for you on mobile? For me, there is a counter:

Did you setup your preferences as outlined above?
