Until a few days ago Unread Content showed each thread with new posts only once, presumably for the first new post since my last visit.

Now it seems to show every single post, thus showing each thread an unlimited number of times. This makes accessing new things rather tedious. Can't we please have back the grouping by thread? Or can someone tell me where to configure my client so that I can have it back, please?

I generally use the Unread Content filter.  Something has gone wrong recently -

Not sure if it's just me but today I can also see activity that I viewed yetserday, although the little star by the post is now a lighter shade of blue.  I'm having to scroll down three or four pages and loading more activity each time.  Wouldn't be so bad, but when you have read a post and select New Followed Content it goes back to the beginning and you have to start all over again.

Fingers crossed this gets fixed.  The practical effect of it is that less posts are being read through the mass of redundant entries listed, which can't be good.

Indeed - you have to scroll through a lot of pages to find new stuff that was previously on the front page

Luckily it doesn't really affect you then the does it.  But for me, menu - activity - my activity streams - unread content is (or was) the routine to get through all the unread posts.  It's been a while now, I suppose if it was straightforward it would have been fixed by now, little issue is made by members as to the redundant threads, so I guess they're here to stay for the foreseeable future. Oh well.

There doesn't seem to be much progress with this issue.

And yes, it really does affect my engagement with the forum. I am sure there are plenty of threads I haven't read or caught up with because they have been swamped from my unread content list by multiple posts from just a few popular threads.

I am sure Andreas is doing what he can, but this isn't a minor issue AFAIC.

Perhaps not many users are familiar with this feature, but once you get used to it, it quickly becomes an indispensable way to use the forum.

This is my desktop view, showing multiple posts in this thread, the Covid discussion etc. Until a couple of weeks ago it showed a single entry for each thread with new posts since my last visit to that thread.
