That's awesome

Hey Admin, I personally think the old layout is better. Every possible link is displayed on the main page, making navigation and finding the correct forum section easier.

The current drop down menus aren't the best... Can we consider going back to the old layout?

The equivalent view can be found on this page - https://www.mr2australia.com/mr2play/Forums
Which drop down menus do you mean?
 
I received a lot of negative feedback about the old forum software, which prompted the migration to this software. The story is a lot longer than that, though that's a summary of how we got here.
 
We cannot go back because there is no way to migrate the data. The old software is VERY old and was written 20 years ago.
 
I have been looking at Tapatalk groups, though there is no way to migrate our data. We would need to start again. I'm not keen on starting again, as the historical data is what keeps this forum alive.

Just the ones on the main page where you have to hover your mouse over stuff to get to certain sections. Doesn't work great on mobile...

I don't understand what you mean. Can you please video it with your phone and send it to me?
The mobile interface is totally different to the desktop interface.
 

 
The Tapatalk mobile app is another option for mobile access.
 

I have changed the home page to go straight to the forum list.

Great move, this is much better.

I have changed the home page to go straight to the forum list.

What link do I use to go back to the old way of just showing the unread again? haha
