Here on Meta I noticed when you read a topic and choose New Topics vs unread it is showing new and unread totaled together see SS this is on both Meta Branded and Foundation.
Terribl change as now I don’t have the simple option to checkout new topics using the New topics route.
Ah I see with top menu nav. But then there is no need to have at bottom of the topic read an option to view new or unread. These links should still behave as expected and open the page with the New Topics listed vs the new merged view.
I myself have never needed to or been asked about new vs unread. Always seemed pretty straight forward at least on English sites
I am confused. You said you cannot check new topics on the /new route anymore. What is the difference between the prior new and the new new filrered by topics?
I understand your point that the text still needs adjustment, but I think it might be a little early for that because the upcoming change is still in alpha.
The top heading New should change to New Topics (16) and when showing All tab should say “New (265)”
So maybe something like
New (285)
[All]. Topics(16)
(All is open
New Topics (16)
All (285). [Topics]
Topics tab open
Or ..
New
All (285) Topics (16)
When I chose New Topics at the end of topic I get All instead of New Topics opened. Your link for new topics actually does more of what is expected with the Topic bottom NAV expected behaviour of New Topics link vs clicking on Unread
