It is right there next to "home" button on the top.

Oh I see. The only option that appears in that dropdown menu is Home. Search, Members, etc don't appear unless you scroll up or down. This is on mobile, haven't tried desktop.

Depends of your phone - maybe - but like at discogs, when you turn your phone sideways, responsive screen seitches into desktop mode. Then search is right there on top menu buttons.
Plus, for those who like the old lay-out, that "phone sideways" will give you that.

The different option buttons on the drop down  menu button seem to be there, but the text isn't visible if the button isn't selected. If you tap or highlight below the Home button then Search suddenly appears. Similarly, if you're on the Search page and click the drop down menu botton then the Home button goes missing. I guess there's a simple way to make all non-selected buttons visible?...

This better describes the issue

Ah, it may be that font is white on white and comes visible when "active". Probably can be fixed.

It would be great if in the phone version, you could still see "last post by..." on each thread before opening. That's always a very useful indicator of if there has been new activity in the thread that I want to read or not.

On my phone, at least, when you just turn the phone sideways, it shows the last post. It may depend on the size of your screen, but at least on my version it shows it same way as desktop version.

Has anyone been getting email notifications for Personal Messages since the forum was updated? I've recently signed in after a few weeks and seen that I've had a few PMs sent my way in recent weeks, but I never got emails about them. I've just tried sending a test one to myself but not received an email notification for that either.

Well - At least I got an update (via email) that this thread has been updated. So in general, the email works at the server end.

At least I had by default not getting messages about new members registrations, until I activated email notifications. Now I will get mails about new members so should not be long delays for approvals.

Bots are getting a bit more advanced these days, so if you see someone spamming totally unreleated stuff on forum, you can always click report and I'll deal with spam and bots.

It seems that by default, do not get email about PM that is reply. At least that is how my settings was.
I just clicked "send email" into:
"When I receive a reply to a personal message"

You will find it from personal settings somewhere. It may be good to check the other settings are preferred ones.

If forum is not online, no worries. There are some maintainance jobs being done and will be back as soon as possible.
