Have had the problem for a few days. I use Firefox, so decided to try it in Chrome but still the same result.

"View active topics" has stopped working since Steve upgraded the software. We think everything else is working fine but would be grateful to be alerted to any other glitches. Steve is aware of the problem and is working on it. "View new topics" and the other menu items all appear to work fine.

I'm happy to announce that Steve seems to have solved the problem.

In the older version of the software, all active topics appeared by default in "View active topics". In the newer version the default setting is for active topics not to appear unless they are in a sub-forum which has been individually activated by administrators. We don't know why.

So, your devoted administrators are now slavishly going through every sub-forum changing the settings. It will take a while before we get them all done, but we're trying to do some of the more popular and active sub-fora first and we'll get there in the end.

Apologies for the glitch.
