Forum Relaunch Feedback: Status Update

Older forum was easier to navigate - even when I used it less back then, as a guest. This new forum layout makes it harder to navigate.

Maybe I’m just not understanding the forum’s organization…

The older layout made it possible to navigate visually since all forums and subforums were clearly laid out. Newer one, not so much.

I’m not sure if the problem is with my iPad or the site, but when I click on a second page of a thread, the only thing that appears on my screen are 2 ads. When I go back a page, I see the thread again. I first noticed this issue a week or two ago. I don’t have that issue with any other sites. Oh, now I have that problem on my iPhone too

When I just went on my notifications, I got them, along with the ENTIRE text of every one of them! Please tell me this is just a glitch and not a permanent thing. I dont want to read them until I go to the thread

This morning with 7 notifications, I got entire texts of notifications. The rest of the day, no problem. Just now, an entire crap load of text of all notifications!

@CottonTales I assume you are getting notifications because you chose to follow/bookmark certain threads. Can’t you just choose to unfollow them? Or adjust your settings to request no notifications in preferences?

@doschicos I believe CottonTales means all the text of the post is in the notification, which is new. I’m also getting that, though I don’t mind because it saves me the step of clicking on the link.

Yeah it’s kinda cool…

Now can we put that Latest Post button on the Top?

Yes, I am getting the entire text of notifications instead of just the poster, time and thread. It did it twice today, the other times have been normal. It makes for a LOT of scrolling.

And I agree, please put the latest posts on top.

Does the removal of this thread from being pinned at the top of the forum mean some needed changes aren’t being worked on?

Much needed changes, IMO:

Page number differentiation - not discernible now
Moving Latest Posts to the top of the Highlights section

Really. What page am I on right now? I have no idea. I have a sticky note next to me and write down the page number, LOL.

@TiggerDad Very inventive idea using the sticky note as a work around.

Question for Sorin and fellow CC’ers.

I tried to post a new discussion and the “drop down“ selection options didn’t seem to include a choice for the parents forum or cafe. I checked several times. Is there one and missed it? If not can this be added?

Thanks

On the homepage, a new discussion has a dropdown which, as I checked, has both the parents forum and the cafe.

When clicking on new discussion while in a forum, though, the only option of where to post is the forum you are in.

Despite having the pin symbol, this thread no longer appears at the top of my Latest Posts list.

Pin symbols also indicate pinned to the top of the forum (in this case, Community & Forum Issues), which it is.

Is something going on that I cannot view posts on my android cell? I can get to the page that shows the Highlights, but clicking doesn’t take me to actual post lists or to threads.

Eg, if I click Bookmarks, it only returns to the pages with the Highlights. Same on wifi or mobile.

I can’t do anything on my android phone. There are no post when pressing “lastest posts” I just came on my computer to see if I can do anything and I guess I can.

Of course…please fix. I use my phone like 99.9% of the time. thx

I can’t view from my iphone today, either.

@ShrimpBurrito, thanks for signaling! We have already reported the mobile issues and the tech team is working on having them addressed. We’ll keep you posted.

So something has gone amiss with their phone ability. Which is strange since it’s usually tied to the website server, I think…

Oh well, maybe I will actually get some work done then…LOL…

On iPhone if you set Request Desktop Site in Safari Settings CC still works. Possibly quit Safari and relaunch.
