I'd like to request the return of the "Active Topics" page - it's so very useful.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

The list we've lost is all the most recent posts from most recent to less recent - 10 a page with the ability to navigate backwards to earlier posts by clicking on a page number.  This allows you to see very quickly what is being discussed across the board

Updated Topics just lists which topic was most recently updated in each subforum, which is much more of a pain to navigate through and see what conversations are going on.  Even a list of the ten most recent topics to be updated is still more of a pain to navigate through to each topic.

Might not be for everyone, and can lead to spoilers, but us spoiler happy types much prefer to be able to see the posts, whatever the subject, all in a neat reverse chronological order!

The navigation bar (Shop, Podcasts, etc) isn't "Responsive" like the rest of the style, so on a mobile phone it runs off the screen making navigation and viewing very difficult.

I get the same thing in portrait but it works when turning the phone on its side into widescreen. The same thing works with unread posts/updated topics. iPhone 11 if that's any use.

Same story as NapalmKev. Different phone.
Why can't everybody just, y'know, be friends and everything? ... and uh ... And love each other!

It's better if you tilt the phone to landscape but still not right. It's because it needs to collapse into a "hamburger menu" below a certain screen width.

If your screen is wide enough to accommodate the width of the navbar then it will look ok.

Put simply someone added the standard 2000AD navbar to the new forum style but that navbar isn't a responsive design so it doesn't work on small screens. It suggests it hasn't been properly tested with a mobile phone. Not trying to criticise, just pointing it how it most likely got like this.

FWIW, the responsive design should be easy enough to hack with a couple of lines of CSS. I outlined a potential fix here: https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?msg=1097775

What Leigh said.

"Active Topics" was simply a list of all posts, from all topics, in chronological order of the latest post. This is especially useful for people like me, who suffer from acute l'esprit de l'escalier.
