.......
the favicon in my bookmark has a red alert on it...I suppose it refreshed when I had an alert..?

Probably ... Presumably it'll go away next time it refreshes, assuming you don't have any alerts at that point.

Today I'm moving a lot of forums around, renaming some, merging some, adding thread prefixes, removing add-ons etc. Sorry if it looks a bit messy right now, but it should be nice and tidy at the end of the process.

Under the Forums menu I've removed the Watched Forums and Watched Tags options and added Recent Posts. Recent Posts is similar to New Posts, but will also list threads you have already read.
I've also removed the entire "tags" add-on as I didn't feel it was doing much for us except clutter and confuse.

For now I've removed the "social share" buttons (FB, Twitter, etc.) underneath the featured threads displayed on the main forum page and new/recent posts. It seemed the buttons were slowing down the forum a lot for users. I might enable them again in the future if the developers make them faster.
Edit: Now also removed in the dark styles / themes.

I'm moving the smilies into categories. In the editor box they will appear in tabs after you press the smilie icon.
I'm only half-done, so it looks a bit messy at the moment.
Edit: Done! Do shout if I've mis-categorised anything, or you have ideas to how it could be done differently.

In a few minutes I will upgrade the forum software. The forum will be unavailable for a short while (5 - 10 minutes).

I've upgraded the add-on which displays the alerts in the tab header favicon. (The little red "balloons" with numbers in them that are displayed in the tab header.) The updated version enables users to decide if they don't want any alerts in the tab header, if they want balloons or a number in the tab title or both. The option is available in your preferences.

Upgraded the forum software to the latest version. The forums was offline for approx. 2 minutes. I didn't think it was worth the hassle to warn you about this 
No new features, just bug fixes and stability improvements.

Just installed a "Yesterday's New Topics" add-on.

Edit: Ah, looks like you have to specifically tick that box and click the button to sign up. It's at the bottom of the page anyway.

OK, that was painless. The next step looks a lot worse though, but I probably won't be doing that until this weekend.OK, I will be doing part of this work now in a few minutes.... "Hold on tight!"

OK, there will be a little more downtime now in a minute. The website will be offline for something like 50 minutes while it's migrated to a different server.
