Has there been _any_ effort done to fix the issues with this forum that has been reported over and over again? It still behaves just as badly as before :(

So yeah, it's different now somehow... Les I wrote a ticket that they were using a non-standard location for that folder on macOS in 2.x (it was correct in 15.04) and it has been implemented. So the new location should be (with reservation for the last folder as I cannot check it right now): ~/Library/Application Support/cura/ But according to the implementation it should also look in the old location (the one you deleted/added). So that change does not explain why it is not working for you :(

Hi Owen, is it possible that you can create a short screencase of this and send like a dropbox link in a DM to me? (Or whatever you prefer?) That might help our developers too. Thank you for your help! Look at my post, just above yours (https://ultimaker.com/en/community/11734-general-forum-feedback?page=52#reply-155829) and you can see the behavior described

It looks like they do some "magic" with the URLs because on the page where you see the "X unread" link the URL ends with "page=unread#unread". But when you click on the link you are taken to an URL that ends with "page=X#unread". And this "magic" is broken for some topics, but not for all. And depending on the topic i'm taken to a different, but always the same, page in the specific topic.

I have noticed recently that I have items in my notification list that are not "unread". But the notification points to thread(s) that have been updated recently, and after my previous visit. And if I look at that thread in the forum it is clearly flagged as having "X unread posts".

Could be, but there are other threads too with the same behavior. I will try to remember to check which threads I see this in. Maybe it's related to the amount of posts?

I clicked on the notification for this thread and opened it in a new tab. But when I went back to the main page (and yes, I reloaded it) this thread was still flagged as having unread posts. Did the same to a few other threads and they were, correctly, marked as read after reloading the main page.

This notification just took me to the top of the page in that thread, and the last entry is not separated from the old posts with the "new posts" separator. So unless you look at the timestamp of the post you won't, easily, recognize what you have not read. https://ultimaker.com/forwardnotification/168478

Just downloaded and tested v2.1.3 on a Win7 64-bit laptop and I did not see any issues with this. I have previously tried the other v2.1.x versions too on the same laptop. And all of them have started just fine. So at least it is not a general problem. Must be something with your computer, maybe the graphics driver?

Might be too early to say for sure, but this morning the "Modifications and Hacks" subforum reported correct amount of unread posts. I will check tonight from my other computer and see if it "sticks"

I got the same today (win 7 + chrome), the unread notification took me to page 50. Yet I posted last night and that post is on page 51.

Windows 7 + Chrome 52.0.2743.116 I will check if I see the same behavior on my Mac tonight. But right now the "Modification & Hacks" subforum is again reporting 37 unread topics on the main forum page. But when I enter the forum I see only 2 threads that are updated. And when I clicked on those two topics the main page reports 35 unread topics. Again, clicking on "Mark as read" in the subforum clears that count, for now. Thank you for your elaboration! Same behavior at home on my Mac (OS X 10.11.4 and Safari 9.1). I just logged in and I have 40 unread topic in this subform, but only 3 were actually unread.

The information about unread posts in a subforum keeps resetting back even if I click on "Mark as read" in that subforum. Yes, the subforum is correctly set as "read" immediately. But next time I return it says that I have way more unread posts in that subforum than what I actually have. E.g. in the "Modification & Hacks" subforum I was told that I, again, had 37 unread posts, but in reality I had only 2. This has happened multiple times last week as I returned back to the forum after my vacation.

@Eraser That movie is so awesome...the walk, the behind the scenes, the description...8)

Today when I clicked on this topics unread link I got a mixed message. Beneath the line that separates the new replies from the old ones it stated that there were 3 replies. But at the end of the post, as well as the first post, it said that there were 2 replies. And that was actually accurate. The post had only 2 replies, but if you counted also the first post it was in total 3. https://ultimaker.com/en/community/21051-build-plate-temperature-limit-after-firmware-update?page=1#unread

That has happened to me a couple of times but I don't think it ended with a double post though.

Whatever you "fixed" during your downtime it made browsing this forum worse...not better :( Many threads when I click on the "unread" link takes me to somewhere in that thread...and it is not the first unread post, and sometimes there isn't even a marker that I can scroll to find. I have to skim through every post somewhere around the date when I think I last read something to find where to continue. As much as I love the content in this forum...the implementation...well...it s***s :(

It should be ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cura/15.06.03/plugins/ (note the tilde in front of the first slash). And the "plugins" folder probably doesn't exist so you need to create it yourself.

+1 for that request.

Nope, I definately get that too. Win7/Chrome 48.0.2564.103. But I think I get it on OSX/Safari also.

Put them here, and pray that they are handled like bugs and not new features... https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues

Found a new bug on OS X...if you quit Cura when it is slicing it will hang...depending on how far it has sliced. I filed some more details over at GitHub.

The None option is actually a misnomer in Old Cura. It printed a skirt (which is why we changed that, so it now actually reflects what it does) I see that now when I look at what is generated by both versions. But thanks for the clarification

You remembered right. I changed the settings in 2.1 to reflect the same as in 15.04. But I still get a ton of support added in 2.1 compared to 15.04. I'm sure they rewrote the slicing process. But I can't see any logic in this. And afaik I can't change/remove anything because it is all or nothing. All we can do is play with the settings. Here is the output again after I modified the settings in 2.1 to be the same as in 15.04. I didn't look into all the other options that were added in 2.1. They are left as defaults. The object is one third of a triangle needed for the body of the BB-8 droid in Star Wars. So it is part of a sphere with a diameter of ~500 mm. I didn't move the object anything in Cura. This is how it was set when you load the file in Cura. The only thing i'm modifying are the slicer settings. And for the support that is only added to the right side...there are some lines on the surface of the object there. But there should be no reason to add support just for them.
