    No "new posts" option on mobile

    I don't see any option to search for new or today's posts in the mobile app. It looks like I would have to browse each forum and subforum individually. What am I missing?

    I guess I could use the advanced search option each time, but that seems unnecessarily cumbersome. Or save a link for new posts as a bookmark.

    I had a quick look from the browser on my android tablet, and didn't see any links for "new posts" and the like either. As I normally use FireFox on my laptop, the best suggestion I can come up with is to use the "Full Site" link at the bottom of the mobile version of the site.

    I'll probably just enter the URL manually and create a bookmark.

    Sorry I can't give a more constructive response, but the forum admin who took the lead on getting the mobile theme fit for purpose retired from the Forum Council a few weeks ago, and I don't know what the thinking was. The new post links are in the Activity Page navigation bar, and in the home page navbar Quick Links drop-down menu. I'm taking a guess here, but it's possible that it wasn't feasible to code the navbar into the mobile theme. The navbar takes up quite a bit of horizontal space, even the Activity Page tab.
