content: Chaps, this is most likely a very very stupid question, but one thing that is driving me nuts about this forum is I can't find a page that shows the following:1/ my subscribed topics2/ and shows which ones have new posts3/ and an icon alongside to jump straight to the 1st unread postI'm so used to this on other forums and I'm finding it frustrating not being able to find this feature (assuming it exists) here at EEVblog forum.

content: It's all there but not like other forums.For threads you have started you can find the list in your profile.For Unread in any thread click New, but that only shows on the Boards and in Unread.

I don't use the mobile version even on my phone, so I don't know what features it has. Also you have to be logged in.Quote

XenForo has some nice features but SMF works fine too, better in some ways especially Quotes where SMF gives a nice trail of where the discussion stems from whereas with XenForo you have to hunt back through the tread to get/find context as only one Quote is shown.
