'View new posts' on the mobile site seems to be pretty lack luster

I'm on Android and all I can access on the mobile site (via the new posts link) appears to be limited only to a tiny selection of the latest posts.

Is it by last visit, most views, 'popularity', the moon cycle?
It all seems random to me.


Also, even if I change my user agent to 'Desktop' I can not access the non mobile variant, anyone know how to force-view the main web forums?

The "new posts" page is based on your last visit indeed.

I don't know about the second question though.

Well, it would be nice if you could change what it brings you to.


Some forums I belong to allow a plethora of options, such as 'Content I have not read', 'New since last visit', 'Past 24 hours', 'Past week', 'Past 2 weeks' et cetera.

Yes, that's already in the suggestion list (here).

make the forums work like modern ones : keeping track of what you've read or not even if you logout without having read everything (so that when you come back, you don't miss posts)


But I'm not sure if or when we should expect it to happen as it would imply a change of how the forums work.

AFAIK it is a feature of IP.board forum software.

Presumably whichever backend this site uses may have a similar functionality?

I don't know. You'd have to ask Diz-X for that.
I'm not 100% sure but I think the forums here are made from scratch without any forum premade software, only some plugins. But I might be wrong.
