Cloudfare E-Mail address protection in PMs seems to be an unnecessary step. It failed to work for me without Java.

On iOS (mobile) when I view, I'll see something like:
without the time component of the date.
On web, the time component is available:
In an active thread, it's nice to see the time of when the last comment were made.
There is plenty of space to add the time.
Also, it would be nice if the link had an underline under it. There is no mouseover on mobile, so it's difficult to see what's clickable and what's not.
Thanks and keep up the good work!

On mobile, clicking on a thread used to take me to the first unread post, but now it seems to go to the first page of the thread. I see there is a link on the first page to jump to the first unread post, but can the default be set to just go there? I think this still works on the desktip version.

Could we get a change to the default font for mobile view? The mobile website calls something serif, and serif fonts are generally not that great on any kind of digital screen....just don't use Helvetica or Arial instead (sorry, inner font fascist 
)
)

Has the issue of displaying the date of the start of a thread been looked into yet? I know it was mentioned in some of the first pages, but also know there have been other bigger fires to put out. Still very frustrating not knowing if it’s a zombie thread or when a “for sale” item is brand new or not. Thanks for all your work.
FWIW, I actually like the new mobile version and use it because it finally blocks ads when the old version didn’t. I would never use the old one and suffer ads when I’m a paid user.

BBCode fonts don’t work on mobile. Are they not supposed to?

Mentions/quote notification should be #1 priority. It generates more use.
You mean that more people possibly view your profile
As one who quotes frequently, I would hope that invites more subscribers to read my posts, rather than visit my profile.
I imagine that he means that those of us who get e-mail notification of quotes and mentions are more likely to come back more frequently because our interest has been piqued to wonder what people are saying about our comments not that we want to look at the profiles of people..
And mentioning [and quoting] someone draws their attention to the thread in which they've been mentioned, which they might not otherwise visit, again bringing up the number of visits. More page views => more revenue.

To nest the quotes, I use this formula in a linear array (quote spelled correctly):[kwote=author A]...[kwote=author B]...[kwote=author C]...[/kwote][/kwote][/kwote].

You then have to copy “part A...,” and insert at the beginning the second quote box, and delete the entire first box, from "quote to "/quote."

Is not being able to find the notifications going to be a permanent part of the "improvement"?

I don't know if anyone cares, but if you are on the bottom of a page that is in a multipage thread, and then try to get back to the navigation bar by hitting the "Home" key, it just loads the previous page instead of going to the top. The only way to go to the top of the page now is by scrolling.

If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page you should find a TOP button on the right.

That was the problem - the update turned infinite scroll on for me, and I didn't realize that it existed to turn on or off. Thank you.

There is a Firefox SIXTY?
The latest version should be 59.0.3 and it is available across all compatible OS versions. See Mozilla.org for details.

Here is a Firefox problem that is bugging me on several fronts, and also an Outlook.com email one, both had a relation to BF.
Of late FF is going a bit bonkers with blocking things it thinks aren't connected safely.
Today it was one of the beacons from a BF weekly posts email. It also blocked an ad from atwola.com in the advertising column of Outlook.com I had to make an exception for the BF link and hopefully that won't happen again.
Not the first rodeo, other vB sites have had this happen (including the original vB 3.8.x). They had to do the same thing.
Also, if you have a large number of BF emails Outlook.com tries to send a few to Junk and you have to send whitelist them and send them to the Inbox.
I guess I need to train the webmail but even though I do unsubscribe from several threads each week that I feel I'm done with or they were closed I still have a few dozen and I DO want to see them.

The abbreviation of vBulletin is lower case v, capital B, the platform doesn't know it's own name and gives you a small VB.
