Yeah, the problem is the All Discussions forum isn't a real forum, it's a fake forum, so it doesn't have all the normal nav. I have another idea I'll post separately that has a bearing on this.

I can't seem to create that problem from here, although my iPad is so old I have to enter the characters with a chisel.
This is the address for your most recent post in here:

Compared to this faulty address adhered to all the recent posts on the main page:

Yes, http://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?posts/ should be followed by a post id,
http://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?posts/1249300/ <-- this is the url that should be in most of the new posts in that list, and it's what I see on my devices. Why that number isn't at the end of your link... I am perplexed.
...which then forwards the request to http://forums.sailboatowners.com/in...nts-and-complaints.175104/page-8#post-1249300
That is what I see on my Mac, iPhone 6, and iPad -1.
Edit: Got it now. it works on Chrome and my Apple devices, but fails as your does on Safari and FF.

I think there are also conditions caused by template caching and me being a dummy and having two New Posts sidebar lists enabled. I'm headed down the debug rat hole, if you don't hear from in a 48 hours call the police.
That link gave me an error, too. iPhone 5s. Not up-to-date software. (On purpose.)
Well, ya know, if I'm having a bit of trouble with the small dot, maybe others are too. Then again, maybe it's just me. I know which way my wife would vote......LOL, you can click that thing from 100 yards.
Here's a cool tip. When I close out all windows in Safari I see a list of suggested sites. At the bottom is a list of frequent sites I visit. The SBO forum bookmark is shown there. Click on it and wa-la. It takes me straight there.
Good, good, if we can bring some familiarity into the mix, I can pass out a happy man.
On the "All Watched Threads", when deleting threads, is there any way to select threads on multiple pages and then delete all of them? Right now you can only delete threads on the current page.
Also, on the "New Posts" listing after clicking on the red number, I see a lot of threads that are marked with an eyeball meaning that I am watching that thread. But that is not true; those threads are not in my watched threads list. Why is this or am I misunderstanding?

No, only one page at a time.
I think you can control that in your settings under Preferences. I believe watched threads can be defined as anything you reply to, but you can turn that off.
I see that on mine too. I had assumed that the eyeball there was indicating that the thread is in a forum that I'm watching, even if I'm not watching the specific thread.
Right! I completely forgot about that, it will "watch" threads from forums you're watching.
