Just got a new phone, so maybe it's me, but the main page used to "alert" me of my unread forum posts. It was one of my favorite features of the site!

You mean those blue marks?

For me they show up normally.

Are you sure you are staying logged-in?

They haven't shown up for me since we changed the forums all those months ago, despite always remaining logged in.
I figured it was just a setting I had to change and never got around to it.

Might be that Snowcone disabled that accidentally.

I could not find anything that would allow me to re-enable it with the tools we Admins have.
Might have been in the area we were cut off when Snowcone neutered us a bit, not sure though.

That functionality was repurposed into Arseen's coding.   ;D

Not sure, as they are still there for me

Yeah those! Worked for me on all my devices until I got a new phone a couple days ago. Haven't checked PC or laptop yet.

Works for me too, although I don't really pay attention to it.  I always go straight to "Recent Unread Topics."  That's all I ever use. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Bottom of the main board area, just above members online.
Here is direct link: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?action=recent

Hmm, that link just took me back to this same thread. Here's what the bottom looks like for me:

I don't know for sure about mobile but on PC that gray double speech bubble button just above the orange text saying Users Online is what takes me to the topic listing 100 latests posts on the forums.

When I'm on my PC, I got to the top right where it shows your member name.  If you click the down arrow, there is an option for "Recent Unread Topics."  That shows any recent post regardless of where it's at in the forum.  After I read through the posts that I want to see, I always mark everything as "read."  That way, the next time I visit, I know for sure what is new.
