I've been finding that too. Happened a few times on the WIW thread. I wondered if maybe it counts an edit as the most recent post.

The problem with disappearing attachments is fixed in the released version. https://wiki.phpbb.com/Release_Highlights/3.2.3

I'll update the forum when I have a spare hour.

The "Unread posts" button takes me two the same post for a few threads over and over even when new posts have been made to them. For example, "Random thoughts" and "I received today". Anyone else experience the same?

When I try to edit my YouTube field in my user control panel I get this error:

"The field “YouTube” has invalid characters, only alphanumeric or _,-. characters are allowed and the first character must be alphabetic."

Can we have a "work safe" board style? I used to use the mobile one as it was just black / white (possibly with some blue) and just a text header etc, but it's not there anymore.

Having been demoted from moderator, I no longer have this issue. But, I have a weird sense of lost purpose instead for some reason.

And the use of colour, bright blues, pink etc. There used to be a mobile theme that was pretty much black and white.

Mobile dedicated themes went the way of the dodo with phpBB3.2, everything is responsive now.

I'm all for being subversive at work but won't be doing anything about the forum appearance. I don't know what your work infrastructure is like - mine can potentially track anything I access using their equipment so I use it sparingly. I carry my own equipment (including connectivity) for times I need to get on, which would allow me to use browser extensions/OS screen colour "hacks" to hide activity in plain sight if necessary.

On another note: I've made tweaks to our web server that seem to have made the forum noticeably more responsive. I don't know if the "30 second wait" glitch is still happening or not. IAll of the tests I've run haven't hit it, and the only times I've seen it personally has been on mobile where I see all sorts of similar stuff across the whole web (Firefox Fennec with uMatrix)
