I can't tell what threads have new posts. On mobile I now have a box on the right that I can check, not sure what it's for, but I no longer have the new post indicator. Anyone else have this?
Site updated?

Same thing for me on the read threads. Not seeing any red dots, but have all kinds of flags and other red markings on the right side of the title. Got switched off my OG black and had to go back in and switch it.

No read thread dots is annoying.
Had to get rid of the grey background too.

for whatever reason this is only on my "Watched Threads" page. if I go into the forum itself the red dot "new posts" notifications are there.

On mobile its harder to select emojis from somebodys post. ( example: trying to press the fire icon under a post)
Usually ill just press and hold, and the options will pop up.
Now its:
Or.......

I appreciate everyone who’s respectfully helped us identify any lingering issues from today’s update.
We still have some work to do, but we’ve already tackled some of the items on this list.
Most people are understanding about this, but for whatever reason we always get some sideways comments from people who choose to believe that we set out under cover of darkness to make the site worse.
To avoid repeating myself, let me just start by quoting an earlier post on this subject to provide an overview of this update before getting into individual concerns:
It may take a week or so to smooth out any rough edges, but the end result will be a safer and more capable website. The team and I appreciate your patience.
In this case, anyone who was using the OG theme (black background) option just needs to select it again. It’s a one second fix.
You can do so from the bottom of the page:
Or the very first option under preferences:
https://niketalk.com/account/preferences
It’ll take some time, but you’ll see more and more results as pages are re-indexed.
This should be fixed now.
The “membership dollars” to which you’re referring are donated to charity. Ad revenues are currently still sufficient to cover our site expenses, but we understand that some people would prefer an ad free experience and we wanted to give them a legitimate way to do that without resorting to ad blocking.
We’ll be releasing everything that’s currently in the membership account to charity soon, to help celebrate the site’s 25th anniversary.
If the “Apple throttling” of which you speak involves your phone being unable to render that diagonal line on the Cool Grey theme, maybe you should be more concerned about what’s in your own pocket than in watching mine.

Multiple theme options weren’t part of the base software, and anything that isn’t stock can potentially be broken when the base code is changed.

The site’s search engine was also updated, and that requires nearly 25 years of posts to be re-indexed. To avoid a prolonged outage, we have this running as a background process.

Thanks for specifying that this is an issue on “watched pages.” I was otherwise unable to replicate it.
This should be fixed now.
Given what we’ve all seen of your social media feed, I can’t say that I’m surprised that you’re making up conspiracy theories.Super OP resorting to "Apple Throttling" tactics to get those membership dollars.

Only problem I seem to be having is trying to bring up emoji’s when I use my iPad keyboard. Have to actually touch the screen instead of using trackpad.
Not a big deal though.
