So it looks like there was a change in the forum layout a few days ago.
Previously I had the main page set to show the threads with new posts in my favorite forums only. Now, after this recent change, I can't see how to do that any more. The new posts showing up include ones in forums that are not in my favorites, and unless I'm missing something there doesn't seem to be a way to have the same display I had before.
If this is true can it please be fixed, if there is a way to do it please direct me to that setting.

Yeah, I wasn't going to go there but since you did...
I had mine set to just show all the unread threads, I don't use favorites as I like to see everything new. It's now showing all the new/unread threads but also the ones I've already read. This had been fixed a long while back but the updates have undone it :)

Using the "Favourites" option in the "Quick Jump" drop down will restrict the home page to show only things from your favourited forums. However, the option won't be saved like it used to be... Nor can you hide read threads, as @Clementine_3 mentioned.

It also doesn't include watched threads that are outside of your favourite forums, which I think should be included too.

Not for me it doesn't. I've selected that and still see threads from other forums not in my favorites.

Both myself and @DonB found that Quick Jump wasn't doing anything at all, at certain points in time. I thought my adblocker was responsible originally, but I have that turned on at the moment and Quick Jump has started working for me.

Does picking anything (besides favrouites) in Quick Jump appear to affect your list at all? 'My Posts' and 'My threads' would be good ones to test with, as those should look substantially different.

My regular browser is Chrome, I just tried it in Firefox and it works. It looks like what's happening is in Chrome the links in the Quick Jump drop-down all go back to the main page but in FF they actually apply the desired filter.
Example, when I select Favorites in FF the page goes to a list with only my favorite forums and the title bar shows this-
https://androidforums.com/?time_filter=favorite
In Chrome I only see https://androidforums.com no matter what I select in Quick Jump.
However if I manually put the proper link with the filter in the title bar and reload the page it works. So apparently the issue is with the Quick Jump links being NG at least in Chrome.
