1) How does the 'like' work? Clicking on it makes it pop up but doesn't increment the likes so I assume I'm missing something.
2) Is there a way of going to the first unread reply?
3) What's with 'awaiting moderation'?

All answered in the posts above!
Images seem easy to upload. I'm assuming it's still max 5 and they are attached by the tick box all at once
Feature request: A "Mark all as read" button so that the entire forum isn't showing as [New].
I'm perhaps in the minority (so far) but I'm liking dark mode black and blue. It matches my left thigh from when I fell off last week.

@Blokeuptheroad Likes don't seem to be working for me, even with that (Mac OS/Safari)
(Also second post, still 'awaiting moderation')
Sorry for the duplicate posts. Whilst "Awaiting moderation" the Add Reply button appears to do nothing until you refresh the page.
I've only just found it.
Been following a link on my browser that takes me to a 404 error page, so just assumed that the page was down rather than the link being no longer valid.
This is the path: 404 – Page not found – Singletrack World Magazine Forum
Maybe on those 'old' pages you could set-up a link to the new location, or something similar
"You are in the wrong place, click here and update your bookmarks" or something like that. Otherwise people might just think the forum is down/broken, like I did.

I think it's already there bottom right of the page, at least I clicked on something there and it worked (underneath the user list)

It's at the bottom of the forum page
Ah, apologies, I'm being blind. Thank you!
Is this the biggest change since the forum first started back in 2001?
Ftlog please lose the nightmare light/ dark alternating colours.

EDIT: I love how easy it is to add a piccy, I just used snipping tool and pasted it into the message box 👍

Even with a refresh and or waiting 20 secs as per Mark's OP?
(Also second post, still 'awaiting moderation')
From Marks OP. Note "posts" not "post".
You may find that your first posts need to be approved by moderators.
This is my 3rd post. The first 2 needed moderation. Let's see with this one...
Edit: Yes, I'm still being moderated. I'm obv a bit dodgy! Apols for the double post below.

Another one for consideration:
The Overview has a drop-down menu where you can choose one of the sub-forums. This is absent from the other forums, so the only way I can see to switch between them is go back to the Overview.
Can we lose the stalking list at the bottom? I don't need to know who is viewing a thread and who visited in the last few hours plus it takes up a hell of a lot of space at the bottom of the page!
Other than that it all looks promising.
There's the Forum Jump drop down at the bottom of each page. But we'll try and make things like that as easy as possible. 
Is it just me or - is the new layout massively inefficient? Tonnes of wasted space, rows of duplicated controls that all do the same/similar things.... The first bit of actual 'content' is barely on the bottom of the screen!?
I think I've worked out what's going on with posting. The "Working" spinny doofer disappears long before the page actually reloads itself to display the new post. Presumably that's just a side effect of the performance issues until the migration is complete?
As per Chipps, WTF is with the P in the bottom left corner of the edit box? It appears to be 'select paragraph.'
The 'font size' button displays white text on a white background in Dark Mode. It's only readable on mouseover.

Stalking list! 😂 I disagree, in a busy thread where you are chatting with others, it's useful to see who else is engaged imo. The recently visited is a waste of space though.

This. No interest in knowing who's online.
There's the Forum Jump drop down at the bottom of each page.
Aha. As with the "Mark all as read" request, I didn't scroll down that far. Cheers.
No worries.. There's new stuff all over the shop. We are finding new stuff all the time 🙂
Stalking list! 😂
Invisibility mode ON
Another vote to bring back the shortcuts at the bottom of a page to head to OVERVIEW, CHAT, BIKE etc.
When I open a thread, I'm taken to the first post not the last read one - anything I need to tick / untick etc?
Is there an article explaining the coloured circle next to the user name? I assume green (?) means online and grey (?) means offline? (I'm colourblind so I'm kinda guestimating the colours).
Threads seem slower to load than before - but not as slow as we had for some time on the old forum.
I could do without the long list of Currently viewing / Recently viewed info at the bottom. If this is staying then a toggle to turn it off in user prefs would be most welcome (but it's hardly a deal breaker!).
Other than that - it's new so will take a little getting used to but otherwise good.
Another observation!...
When you @ someone it appears under their original post rather than as a new post at the bottom of the thread.
It's a bit big isn't it. Not surprising the number of people on here right now. Looking at it now

It's looking good to me so far. Which I'd checked earlier because all this work stuff is just getting too much.
I genuinely wasn't expecting it back yet, OK, I know there are loads of old threads and stuff to do but it's good to see it working so quickly.
🤣 😀 😉 😋 < just thought I'd give the emojis a test while I was here.
Nice work!
Although slower than it was yesterday, I'm assuming that is due to the old forum still being switched on and it'll be much improved once the full migration has taken place.
@the-muffin-man Nested replies are going to be a bit of a pain. Can I take it tagging people doesn't work the same way it used to?
I was just about to say this. Quotes appear directly after the quoted post rather than chronologically. Is that intentional? I can see the logic, but it might make it easy to miss replies?
On the Overview page and you want to jump to Chat forum or Bike forum etc. Click the little down arrown next to 'Overview'. A drop down appears.
It seems you already know it's still really slow?
So, the thread pages function is not very intuitive.
And I'd prefer to lose the green lights to see who is online.
Stalking box at the bottom is now gone. It was getting huge!
Glad stalker box has gone it was too 2000s PHPBB.
i was previously taken to last unread reply, that seems to have changed now and i just go to first page and have to click through the pages. thatll obviously not be viable for the bigger threads, trump/gaza etc.
EDIT: i now see you can click in the 'page no' box and choose the last page, but still, if theres hundreds of pages that wouldnt really work either. a 'take me to the last (unread?) post' button would be ideal.
For anyone reading this i couldn't access the forum when logged in, had to clear everything in chrome and reboot to get access.

Although it doesn't look like a link, if you click last post at the top of the page just under Bike Forum it jumps to the latest reply.
It'll be nice to find out how to do that direct from the forum list, but that should help for now.
Reminder on speed. The old forum, although deactivated, still leaves us with a huge database table that is attached to everyone's account deep under the bonnet. This is the cause of the slow page responses for logged in members. As soon as we've migrated all the historic posts over from the old forum (it's linked with that massive database) we can then set fire to it and push it in the canal and watch it sale off down towards Hebden Bridge where it will be turned into an art installation, candles and dungarees. The site performance will get a boost then.
Currently Andy says we've got back as far as 2022. His machine will keep up that job until we get back to 24th December 2008 - that day after The Great Hack.
It's looking good. Nice work!
Thanks everyone who has contributed to this thread so far. I'll be honest, it's gone better that I feared. We are working through the snags and at 17.01 my local time I'm expecting to learn a lot about what we need to tweak in dark mode 😉
I'm liking the font size and brightness, nice for old eyes

I had the same issue, seems to be fine now! New layout looks good, will have a proper play around when I get chance!
The forum jump drop down menu doesn't let me select the mixed forum with both chat and binge stuff mixed together in harmony.
Forum menu now has links direct to Bike and Chat forums at the top of the page

sorry, dont know where you mean. if i want to click the last post on the 'new forum' thread, how do i do that? if i click crazyjenkins name its his profile, and the '42 seconds ago' isnt a link. cant see anything under a bike forum anywhere.
Is it possible to add a link to Overview in the drop down at the bottom of the page? (it is greyed out)
Threads seem to keep opening on the first page for me even though I have manually gone to the last page & added a comment.
Would be nice to have the option of opening them on the first or last page.
sorry, dont know where you mean.
Open the thread first to page 1. Near the top of the page there's a Bike Forum ID. It's right under that.
So 2 clicks rather than one, but better than your current method.
We are looking at the behaviour of clicking on a topic that is labelled 'New' now
If you click this icon at the top of a thread it takes you to the last post without using the drop-down option.
Can this icon be added to the end of thread title (or somewhere) on the Overview page?

ahhhhh thank you. (not sure how this is going to come out, using 2 quotes)
Pinned posts have dissapeared from the top of the forum. Are they elsewhere?
Anyone have a random capital P on the reply text area?
The link I used to use for the chat forum https://singletrackmag.com/chat/ no longer works. It takes you to the page below. Maybe needs a redirect?
Edit: tried to post a screenshot and failed, but succeeded in double posting!

That's an Ezoic ad thing. There has to be a permanent link on every page so that you can change your consent options at any time. It was there on the old forum. The current annoyance is that the new form is slightly wider and that cog overlaps content. It's on the list.
Very impressed with the speed of everything coming back up. Proper good job by the dev team!
I notice the overview forum has gone back to /forum/ rather than /community/ in the the link.
Doesn't make much difference to me as I always come in form the home page, but I can imagine a few folks being upset by it, after it changing to /community/ not that long ago.
when will the older threads (over 2 years start date) reappear? bit by bit so keep an eye out, or all in a oner at some point? (im missing the bassists thread 😀 )
I'm liking being able to paste images directly into the editor. I'm liking that a lot.
Thought I'd give posting a photo a go......
