Can't see the "Recent" button anymore, the one that looked like the "Latest" one...

The buttons have changed in size, and the "Recent" is now regular font and harder to pick out. It is right above "Sign up for a". Maybe this happened when the Forum Rules were promoted! A few months ago, someone thought the "Recent" wasn't obvious enough so it was promoted and the "New" button was demoted.

You have good eyesight. Those pages are so full it's hard to see little titles. I liked that you could intuitively switch back and forth between Recent and Alerts. But St-Mike will be happ: look at the size of the Rules button! Almost as big as the donation one .

Thanks for the info.

Its under Camino guides and to the left of Private Conversations. Ivar re-jigged to provide a button for the Forum Rules so people could see them easily.
 
I find this a disappointing change. I regularly use the recent posts - far more often than I ever need to refer to the Forum Rules. Now the Forum Rules button is something like 20 times larger just to satisfy those who couldn't find it even when it was reasonably centrally located, albeit in the same font size etc as the recent posts link is now. It strikes me that there would be far more useful things to do with the screen 'real-estate' than give us a super large 'Forum Rules' button.

Neither of which, it seems to me, is a good reason for the change, particularly when it makes what I think is a more useful link difficult to find and use. I know that there is rarely a perfect solution to what needs prominence on a web page, but this change puzzles and bemuses me. The prominence of the Forum Rules buttons is now completely out of balance with the other, more useful, links.
 
A thought @wayfarer
Can you swap the Recent button with the daily email sign up , both position and size. On a small screen the new sizing and positioning of the frequently needed 'recent' link is too small and the sign up for daily emails is a 'one off use' is dominant.
Even better if it was back in its original position please.

Hi all,

I have just made the "recent post "link larger and given it a different color so that it is easier to find.

Hope this makes it easier to find

Thank you Ivar (and Wayfarer). Both the Recent (and the new Forum Rules) now easy to see

I think the change to enlarge the 'Rules' button is a good one, particularly for the many new members who are joining the forum by the day.
 
I wasn't aware of a 'recent posts' button until just now. I'm not sure it's in the best possible position, but it's great functionality that I will now make full use of in the future. Thanks for the awareness-raising thread.
