(28 Dec 2021, 8:46 pm)Adrian Why would we be reverting back? Or what do you feel needs fixing?
The comments in the thread are obviously there to be seen, but it's not the first time the look of the site and forum has been redesigned.

I'm missing an option to select unread messages. I end up at the start of any thread I tap on.

(29 Dec 2021, 2:19 pm)Andreos1 Click on the little arrow which appears next to the title. It will take you to the new posts.
(29 Dec 2021, 4:11 pm)Adrian There's two options highlighted I've highlighted. Clicking either should do as on the tin.
(29 Dec 2021, 4:22 pm)Adrian Try Posts > View Unread Posts from the menu.It's not there for me. Also can't see how to attach image to show you. Ed

(29 Dec 2021, 4:23 pm)BusLoverMum No longer an arrow for me.
Will check those out, ta. I'm on my phone so the layout isn't quite the same. The last post one isn't going to be much use in a thread that's grown by 30 replies or so since I last saw it, mind.

(29 Dec 2021, 4:27 pm)Keeiajs Why is mine on MyBB?
(29 Dec 2021, 4:29 pm)Adrian It looks similar on the phone for me. If I go to Menu > New Posts, I then get the 'New' icon or 'last post' text that I can click. Appreciate that the last post option isn't great for busy threads, but the 'New' icon should take you to the first unread post in that thread.Yes, that's working for me, thanks.
As for attaching, it should work the same as on a desktop. Either quote a post or hit the 'New Reply' link at the top of the posts in that thread, and there should be a box above the post/preview/save as draft options to add attachments.

(29 Dec 2021, 6:28 pm)Keeiajs I was also going to ask if there was a option as you can change to the Default and NEB 2022, why can't we use the one that was on just last week.To be fair, now I've sussed it out, this one works more smoothly - for the forum, at any rate. It's just not particularly intuitive as it's hard to tell what's clickable.
But I better not.

So…
Anyone who wants to revert to the previous template has the option to do so. There is a board style in your options called 'NEB New'. This is the old template, exactly as it was. We won’t be updating the coding for this old template any longer, however.
Between me, Dan and Adrian, none of us really have the time or effort to put into maintaining NEB as much as we did 10 years ago when the community first started. The redesign and platform you see now is a generic template from the MyBB community with an updated logo - that’s it. We hadn’t updated the MyBB forum software for over a year, and the old template lacked a lot of the options needed – password retrieval, ability to post attachments and so forth. We had a lot of emails from people trying to access the platform, who couldn’t, as so little of the scripting was kept up-to-date. Yet, none of us reply to emails either, as we don't have the time.
While I accept that you hardcore warriors aren’t happy with the changes. It was a quick and effective way of getting a platform which actually worked to its full potential, with updated coding, without effort on the part of me, Dan and Adrian. Without the change, it wasn’t going to be long before nothing was working. Then no doubt, there would have been a lot of you who took to Twitter and Facebook to message Dan direct about the issues. If NEB were to fail to exist beyond next year, we'd at least want it to go out with all functions working.
We maintain this site for you lot. Normally once every year or two, Dan has to force me to do updates to coding. Dan has to force himself to update the fleet lists and news too every other year these days. We are busy, and the last thing we want to do with our free time, is to work on this site. We don't ask you to use the site, its a choice. Some of you could do with remembering that.
(29 Dec 2021, 9:10 pm)Liam So…You mean to say this website that we don't pay for doesn't have to bend to our will? Well colour me surprised! (If you guys need a hand, I'm more than happy to help, I don't have much experience with MyBB in particular, but I do with other platforms and it's all basically the same these days, although I appreciate you may not want some stranger messing around in the backend (stop sniggering))
