For some reason the forum now opens with the Activity Stream view as a default. This view is less than useful if you want to skim the new posts, as a very active thread will create many entries in this list. I usually use the New Posts view to skim the new articles. Trouble is, after opening the Activity Stream all posts are marked as read, so the New Posts view does not list anything. This makes following the actual new posts much more trouble than it used to be.
