The New page used to only show new threads. Now it shows those mixed with my unread threads, some of which have been going for months or years. This is not an improvement. ---

Indeed. I have noticed this too. ---

+1. Yeah. Powers that Be, please change this back. ---

As discussed at length in this existing thread in this category: > [@Where has the unread shortcut gone?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-has-the-unread-shortcut-gone/1032015): > > Today when I got to the site, the unread shortcut, which lists the topics that you are watching and have new posts disappeared from the top list. I still have New, Latest, Top, but now unread is no longer there. I did find the url for it works: [https://boards.straightdope.com/unread](https://boards.straightdope.com/unread) and it is in the hamburger (?) menu under shortcuts, but it is no longer on the main board page. This is on a browser on a PC. Is this a change? Or a theme setting? //i\\ Which includes instructions on how to work with / around the new feature. It’s not as different as it at first appears. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > As discussed at length in this existing thread in this category On second reading of that thread, you’re right. I missed that in the discussion of problems getting quickly to the unread thread. The change is still not an improvement. And this is still a separate problem from the main topic of that thread. I get the impression that somebody’s been messing around changing things just in order to change something. As a very minor but entirely useless change which occurred about the same time, the symbol to shrink the reply box so you can see more of the thread you’re replying to changed from a down arrow to a minus sign. Works just as well once I figured it out; but why? ---
