Navigation has always been the bane of our site tada, we've looked at a number of different navigation systems but they don't do everything we want them to do and trying to replace the menu entirely with an external one can cause resource issues with the site - unfortunately, we're stuck with what we have for the moment until we can figure an alternative :good:

Yeh, that was meant as an experiment only really, after the upgrade from Invision they knocked off all the settings for notifications and it seems now that some are not even getting notifications on replies, etc - I thought I'd try placing the button in each post to make it more obvious but now that you've drawn my attention to it, it does look a little over the top me thinks!.   Removing it now ... one question though FF .. I see from the last few topics you've posted in you're not subscribed to them also, is that by choice - I mean do you 'unfollow' those topics or are you just posting without choosing any options? Curious to know in an effort to try and resolve this whole subscription nightmare that Invision have kindly left us with :good:

It wouldn't appear so tada, I'll have to raise this with Invison themselves, ridiculous state of affairs if I'm honest - they've broke more with this update than they've fixed!

It's been confirmed this is ANOTHER bug from Invision - if anyone would like to receive notifications automatically when they reply to a thread go to your notifications area in the UserCP Here and place a tick in the box "Auto follow topics I reply to" and in "Notification frequency:" choose how you would like to receive notifications :bye:

However, new members with a post count of less than 20 may still experience problems receiving notifications until Invison decide to release a fix for the whole issue :good:

Also, some users Avatars/photo thumbnails have screwed up again, another bug! Awaiting this fix also.
