Yes, this was how I used to go back to check posts I'd just made. Always happened that way. With the new forum, it stopped.
Actually maybe I always used "Today's Posts" instead... there is no option for that on the new forums. Out of habit, I always went to the last thing on the forum list, which used to be "Today's Posts" and now is "New Posts."
Also, quoting the part of my post that was more important IMO for the new page
I guess since I never heard a response, that moving the subforum names to the right to make them more visible isn't an option.
Can we get these outlined, or in a different colour, or at least bold? I have tremendous difficulty reading these (mild dyslexia), whereas I didn't on the old forums because they weren't in tiny letters bunched up with the author, date, etc info.
OMG, thank you so much. Much better!
This is great, If it's possible, put a "Forum" header in the orange bar that says Title/Views/etc
Is there a way to mark threads as read? I used that feature a lot on the old forums.
Why do I have to click so many buttons to get to a map's screenshots in the map factory? The old system of a single main post with change log and screenshots and discussion thread all in one is so much simpler than this current sea of buttons. It doesn't make any sense.
It's one button press extra if you want to see screenshots, and even then only if the thread is still in its first page. Anyway, I've updated it so the content of the first post for all new download postings is a direct copy of the overview, with the exception of the uninserted attachments box. You'll have to live with the extra click for the old threads unless their authors update them though.

OK, just so we're on the same page: I'm talking about mousing over the alerts when I'm on a thread page — thus popping up a box with the most recent activity and clearing the number — and then mousing over it again from a cached page where it still has the number. If you do this, does it (A) still have the number when you go back, and if so, (B) pop up the box and clear the number a second time as one would expect?
Our featured maps: Furnace Creek, Axle, Suijin, and Multi Stage dusk.
The Multi-Stage qualifier is a strange one to me - it doesnt seem to matter that much, and neednt be included as part of the map name as standard, surely?
Just looked over the OP again to find out about importing my maps, and uh
...And what? If you have an existing map thread in the workshop subforum and here's a million dollars? If you have an existing map thread in the workshop subforum and here's your own spaceship? There's clearly a decent amount of information that's missing here.
It's supposed to say, if your map already has a thread, upload it into the Import Queue category (which suppresses the automatic creation of a new thread).
I wrote a more detailed guide for importing over here - it's meant for importing other peoples' things, so feel free to do whatever you want for the tagline/description/etc. for your own stuff.
