    What the WHAT? Only 17 clicks to get where you want to go!

    I changed my mind on the layout. I no likee.

    And the all white has GOT to go!

    But I'm digging on the polls. :)

    No, but prefacing it by saying there was no "maybe" option. There are things I like, but usability is seriously lacking atm.

    I don't necessarily hate the layout or potential new features, it's just.. different and hard to navigate right now?

    Also, bring back the feature that tells me how many new replies are in a thread from the last time I visited.

    Edit: I also don't like the extensive white; this is the same issue one of the FB layout changes had and people screamed at them until they changed it back, one of the few times FB actually listened to its user base.

    I am on the desktop version right now, not so bad. I just need to get use to the changes. I haven't tried mobile just yet.

    I squint as I type this, (maybe sunglasses are required) the whole this is simply more difficult to navigate.

    Im on a mobile android phone. Mobile view is virtually unusable. Desktop a little better ..just

    I’m so confused. This makes my lurking cumbersome and difficult.

    ugh. So much navigating.

    I agree with @slimgirljo15. It's slightly better on the computer than it is on the phone. The mobile view is next to impossible to navigate.

    I guess we’ll get used to it. Maybe there’s more beneath the surface that will be better in the long run. They’ll probably fix the stuff that’s not working soon. I have hope!

    Although I can appreciate the space-saving aspects of the new condensed-and-scroll quote feature, I used to like to highlight in bold a particular phrase in the quoted post that I was replying to, and I can't figure out how to do this now.

    I don't have the phone app so I'll be using the browser version on my phone, and I'm not really looking forward to it.

    How do we know if there are new replies to a thread we’re posting on? I’m so confused.

    I’ll just say this… I participate in a couple of other discussion forums that are millenia ahead of both the old and new versions here. Happy to provide links.

    Ok, someone posted they can see who clicks which button. Am I not seeing this somewhere?

    Yes

    Yes

    I accept this change, altough i agree with someone saying too much white.

    I only use the desktop version, because mobile phone has never worked for me, so i didn't bothered trying that part.

    There are probably pros and cons to the new layout

    Yes

    It says new at the bottem of a thread. Also you could bookmark a thread and it will show in your notification bell at top right corner

    My bell is constantly covered by ads--can't even see it.

    With a "not eligible for rehire" flag attached to their employee profile.

    This new setup is horrible. My thought is that they are trying to get people to quit using the forums.

    Changes were needed, for sure.....but why not make the little changes that were needed without completely destroying what they had?

    HOrrible. I am in a group that has ongoing discussions, up to ten at anyone time. The new format is making me miss many of the posts of the group. Do not like it.

    It hasn't even been a day and the banner at the top still says they're making tweaks. I'd rather them be doing at least some development than nothing happening. Let's all keep in mind this is a fully functional platform that's still accessible for free. The best alternatives of which I'm aware are all subscription-based and geared much more for athletes than the majority of this user base represents.

    Too soon to say. At this point, it's just a reaction and not an actual evaluation.

    Now it looks like I'll need two browser windows open to access both the forums and my diary. The toolbar (or whatever you call it) that used to run across the top so that you could get back to your logging quickly seems to have vanished.

    Or maybe this is just a me thing, because I had a bad habit of sitting down to log and getting sidetracked reading posts.

    I'm doing the same. Have to keep looking for workarounds.

    I've actually always done that. I'm a girl of convenience.

    what is "logging"? Is that a new feature with the updated forums?

  • ythannah
    ythannah Posts: 4,371 Member
    No

    It's the thing I'm supposed to be doing instead of lurking in the forums 🤣

    Oh, look, expanded emojis. Well that's one good thing...
