Click the little icon to the left of the title ;)

I know, but because of the limitation I mentioned in the first post if I either misclick or forget, I'll completely lose my progress in a thread.

If IPB3 doesn't fix this age-old bug, then you guys should hack it so that it works like it should.

Or, yknow, switch to vBulletin, who's had this working for what 2 years now :p

So you think that clicking the link and not the icon, which sends you to the OP instead of the latests post is a bug? :unsure:

I won't be happy if this gets changed, I always open up threads at the OP and read pretty much the entire thread from there.

(30 posts/page and quick deduction if a post is worthwhile reading or not). I don't really like saying things that have already been said, so I read the thread to see what's been said. Doesn't add anything to the conversation & isn't very interesting to read.

Plus, it's kinda silly seeing people asking for something, which has been answered a page earlier (but most likely 3 pages earlier to them, which is obviously too many pages to go back through...).

It would be even better if you can provide an option in the UserCP to move the whole thing to the bottom of every page (like phpBB). But it has to be a user preference (lest the 103 posters above come to kick my ass for pulling it down). "Quintessential Customization"; we can brag 'bout it later...

No, reading the first page (or indeed any page) of a thread marks the entire thread as read. This is a bug (not really, but I class it as a bug because only IPB still works that way). If I read the first page of a thread and then click the little icon again, I want it to go to the 2nd page of the thread. Because I have only read the first page, I have not read all the 125 pages.

Why does the forum software think that I have? This is why I would never use IPB for any of my sites (that, and the mouseover thread title - who the hell cares about thread start date? Give me a summary! Also the fact that I have 4 years of vBulletin experience :p)

The thread title taking me to OP is perfectly fine, I'm sorry if I was unclear about that. But if I mis-click, I can't click the little icon anymore - or rather, it would be pointless to do so. The "go to new post" has broken.

That feature is the only way i'll ever see a lot of the threads here, because it's easy to miss them. I use it pretty much all day every day lol.

It's one of my only ways of getting to new and interesting threads, and I love it. Only thing that is slightly annoying is the autorefresh. Add something to make the refresh more visual (timer or something) or just don't let it refresh itself.

You can disable the autorefresh. Simply make sure next to 'Show Less' it says 'Start' instead of 'Stop.'

EDIT:

Forgot to say that I like the LFA, it's one of the primary ways I browse the forums.

Obviously when I as a Mod I had a bit different of a routine to go over threads, but now I would say 70% of the threads I go to are from Latest Forum Activity. Then I just have all of the main pages in the Gamers Hangout and The Media Room each individually bookmarked, and go to them the other 30% of the time and do a manual eye scan.

For some reason only 5 of the Latest Forum Activity entries show up instead of the 10 that appeared before.

How can I revert back to 10 Latest Forum Activity entries?

Edit: NVM, I just found the 'Show More'... missed it before because it looks like a part of the category header.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
