Not sure about the new forum page. Looks good on a PC, but it's crap on my iphone.....can't see who has made the latest post nor any quick way to get to the last post made (on an iphone that is). Anyone else having this issue?

Don,
Don't you have 'Quick links' in the top left hand corner, from which you can select 'Active topics'?

Of course it will.
You should have the same little orange flag/box to the left of the topic title to take you to the last unread post.
I don't have an iPhone. Just an S2. Pages look identical to a pc screen.
Only smaller.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Can someone explain to me what those things on the left of the topics on the Active Topics page are? The circles with the red star & the lines moving in them, and the ones shaped like a lightbulb. I'm actually getting a bit bugged out by them.

They take you to the last post in the topic that you read. Think the light bulb means it is a sticky

That little red square to the left of the 'by alakaboo' takes me to the last post I've read. The ones on the index page are different. Some have moving lines, some don't. Some have a red star, some don't. Some have a red circle, some have a blue one. And some are lightbulb shaped, one of which is the 'what are you listening to today' thread which seems an odd choice for a sticky.

At the bottom of a page is the 'Jump to' box. Previously, the forum you were in was prominent. This example would be 'General' and I'd have to click on the drop down to go elsewhere. Now you need the drop down to go anywhere at all or scroll back to the top of the page. The old way was better

I'm not sure why I'm getting stuck on it, but not knowing what it all means is just bugging me at the moment.

Red means there are unread posts in it, blue means read, stars are for ones you've posted in, scrolling means it has a lot of posts/popular.
If light bulb doesn't mean a sticky then I've got nothing

I might be able to sleep a little easier tonight 'boo. However I would still appreciate knowing what the lightbulb is about.

Thank you.

Yes I have, but not as well as I should due to the mystery of the RS doovalackys being on my mind.

But now my sleep will be sound and for that I thank you.
