Status Update on EpicureanFriends Forum Technology And Use

REMINDER: SUNDAY WEEKLY ZOOM - January 18, 2026 -12:30 PM EDT - Ancient text study and discussion: De Rerum Natura, Starting at Line 136 - Level 03 members and above - read the new update.

    Time for a status update to see if anyone is having any issues or if there are things which need improvement:

    1. Anyone have any problems to report in their use of the forum?
    2. Any issues on desktop or mobile sizes?
    3. Any issues with the themes?
    4. Any features you would like to see added?
    5. Any other general comments or suggestions?

    I have to say that I think things are operating pretty smoothly at the moment, and I am not aware of any major issues. Seems like for me sometimes the notifications don't take me to the most recent new post, a problem that was reported earlier and may not yet be fully resolved. But generally things seem to be operating smoothly.

    Can't promise to be able to address all suggestions immediately, but can't even consider them if we don't know what they are. So please feel free to let us know if there are any issues and we will see what we can do to address them over time.

    Thanks for your participation at EpicureanFriends.com!

    Changed the title of the thread from “Status Update on EpicureanFriends Forum Technology” to “Status Update on EpicureanFriends Forum Technology And Use”.

    It seems to me that the "conversations notification" is not very noticeable, and then when a member logs onto the forum very quickly, they don't notice that they have received a private message.

    I sent a message and it shows that the person was "online" but it still shows that they did not read my message.

    This happens with new members in particular, it seems.
