I generally browse the Straight Dope by picking a thread with unread posts on the home page, reading those, then scrolling down, where there is a list of suggested topics, either Unread (has posts I haven’t read) or New (new threads started in the past few day?). Below that short list has always been a line with links to all Unread or to all New topics. My habit is to click on one of these to get a page with all Unread or New topics and choosing from this longer list. This morning I discovered that the links to all Unread or New were missing from their usual spot at the bottom of the page. Is it just me? I use Straight Dope Light, but I tried a couple of other themes with no luck. I looked for some settings, but didn’t see anything that looked like it would restore these (besides, I haven’t set any of them since the transition to Discourse) If it isn’t just me, is there a way to quickly access the pages that used to be conveniently linked at the bottom of a thread? ---

That’s how I browse too and it sucks. I did realize that if you scroll down a bit more to the black footer, under the Community heading you can click “Top”, “Latest” or “Trending” and it’s the same link. Perhaps we just need to re-train ourselves. Could be a speed factor - retrieving that post count on every page is a bit of a chore. But then again they could have the links w/o the count. But then AGAIN … those links do exist without the count, a little further down, in the footer 🙂 ---

It’s definitely a “first world problem”, but it’s annoying as hell. ---

You might want to check the same/related problem mentioned here: > [@I don’t get the give suggested threads anymore](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-don-t-get-the-give-suggested-threads-anymore/987918): > > There used to be five suggested threads at the bottom of each thread, showing threads that had been updated or maybe similar in context. Today they aren’t there any more. Anyone else with this? [technically I think -this- one was created moments earlier than the one I linked, but I only participated in the other]
