No equivalent of the ‘latest posts’ area on the previous forum..??

There is (was) a “Newest Topics” down the right side but it has just gone AOWL. Not quite a sgood a sthe old one and you can’t click anything to get a longer list but it is being worked on and has been something the Mods have been asking for a lot

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

I suppose that the “Freshness” column serves the same general purpose

Follow the main commets thread

Freshness is not a lot of use

As a temporary measure there is now a blue “latest activity” button towards the top left, the left hand column of that lists more or less what was on the old “Latest posts” eg heading, poster, time, date.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I can’t find anywhere more suitable.

A For Sale ad of mine has gone walkabout following the software changeover and I’ve tried to re-advertise the article by following the instructions.  I’ve filled in all the boxes appropriately (I think) and clicked the I’m not a robot button.  Clicked on Preview and I am told that there are errors in the form, but no indication of what, or where and the expected Catchpa grid does not appear either.  Consequently there is no Publish button.  I’m stuck.  Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

John, can you take a couple of screen shots of what you are entering, we might spot something.

I posted a few during testing and they seemed OK but will do a test one now to see if anything has changed

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

Posted an add OK, screen shot just before clicking captcha and preview, all was OK so I clicked publish

[John HinkleyParticipant @johnhinkley26699]

Jason,

I’ve re-posted my ad and while trying to cobble together some screenshots, accidentally “double-clicked” the preview button.  Hey presto! – the ad has now appeared.  Don’t know what I did differently except the double click, but my problem is now solved.  Thanks for your suggestions and help.
