"New Posts" is probably the most clicked icon for forum users. However, for iPad users it it not located in a 'user friendly position' and it makes me wonder if the web designers even use an iPad. Unless you tap ever so carefully, it is so easy to hit the icon above which is "whats new" or the neighbouring "activity stream" or "private messages".
Most of us have clumsy big fingers that easily tap not quite in the right position.
So I urge the designers of this site to take this on board and change the placement of the "new posts" icon for that very reason.
