Hey Sergei,
We still have some issues with unread/read poss and comments. it's something we are working on an improving step by step. Thanks for reaching out and your patience!
Side note: Do you like Vivaldi? I've never tried it.
Hi Mike,
I appreciate your efforts to make this resource better and better, it's really great. But... Unread posts is the headache from very beginning. If early it was quite hard to find what's unread, now i even can't recognize if something new appears or not (sometime after July 20). I'm sorry, but the quality of recent updates becomes more and more worse. I could be wrong, that's just my impression. I don't know you have wrong vendors, or you have no own better environment to test before deployment, or what.
And most disturbing thing is communications. Being in software development business I believe more than 50% here is communications, the rest is development, coding and testing. Your silent updates when we don't know that was update, or something is wrong in our environment, that's new features appears (which i may like or not) by design, or that's another bugs, etc. - lack of information is annoying.
Please keep as informed - people always appreciate that.
Vivaldi - it's not perfect and has a lot of things to be improved. But it's fast and not consume a lot of resources as Chrome or Edge and has it's own small nice features. If you are looking for these and that extensions and sync of bookmarks that's not your choice. Other words that's not universal tool. So far -i hope. But i like it as old fan of Opera. Plus i like to work with something new, even if it has low chances to survive (like Sailfish OS in mobile). Actually I'm between Edge, Vivaldi and Opera.

Hey Sergei,
We appreciate your candid feedback. We aren't just fixing the unread, we are actually working to improve discoverability by adding additional filters (including All, Recent, Experts) to the home feed and adding 'more discussions' expansion at the bottom. We'll have unread (denoted by the red line on the side of the discussion) at the space + community levels so you can keep an eye on the lastest content. We're also working to add a footer component on spaces and threads that will pull people back into spaces (similar to a Related Conversations widget). These enhancements will make stumbling through the community, finding exciting posts, and keeping up to date with recent conversations much easier.
The latest updates were mostly bug fixes. As we approach Ignite, part of our dev focus has shifted to be able to host content and design the community experience for the event. Unfortunately, we only have so many dev resources and so much time, so we are splitting overall community improvements + ignite needs (which will ultimately benefit the entire community as we add styling and functionality).
Thanks for background about Vivaldi. I used to be a fan of Opera as well so may have to check it out.
