I'm in Pittsburgh, and I've found that these small confirmations make a forum feel more welcoming to newcomers. The blush emoji suggests this was a lighthearted milestone rather than a serious gatekeeping step. Curious whether validation here just unlocks posting or also affects how threads appear to members. Validation hasn't really been set up yet- mostly we are just setting things up here in advance of importing our 20+ year old forum content in because our old software is breaking down. It seems like everything I change is breaking something else I had already changed, so it's been a lot of fun. I hope that you stick around- you seem like you would fit in quite well here, although all of the posts and user accounts started here during testing (mostly our admin staff until you found your way in) are going to be wiped when the content from our old SMF forum is installed. Because of that, you will need to either make sure you are registered at our old forum at forum.multitool.org, or be ready to re-register here in about two weeks when we do the import.

Seeing only the page with the latest reply makes it hard to follow a long discussion or jump back to earlier points, which gets frustrating on a phone. The deleted-topics problem sounds like a separate caching or cleanup bug, so the two may need different fixes. Has anyone confirmed whether the missing page numbers show up on every mobile browser, or only on certain devices? That detail would help narrow down where to look. Absolutely correct- I will admit I have bene concentrating mostly on the desktop version, but I will put some effort into the mobile version, starting with your comments. Thanks for the input- it is greatly appreciated!
