Some more forum feedback

Denis asked me to copy that here so it's easier to keep track of :)

 

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but the "New Posts" view in the forum seems to always show all posts, with the oldest post at the very top. In other words, it does the opposite of what it claims to be doing 2c6041bfc91ee1174f11740dc26573fe.svg

 

If it showed the newest posts on top instead, it would definitely be better. The old forum (as well as this forum before the public launch) had a feature that showed me all the posts I hadn't seen yet, which was super helpful.

 

Unfortunately, that feature seems to be disabled now. (Which would be fine if the "new posts" thing worked correctly)

 

Also, it says (20) in the tab title, as if I had new notifications, but I can't see or access these notifications anywhere. The old forum had a thing in the top menu from where I could see my notifications. (I can go to my profile settings and then click on alerts to see the notifications, or click alerts from the profile popup, but that's at least one pageload away and not intuitive. I'd expect there to be a separate thing showing me the number of alerts and opening a popup with alerts when clicked. Or alternatively, not have the alert count displayed in the page title)

 

Don't get me wrong, I think the old forum was a bit overloaded and convoluted, and I think it's good to have a more streamlined, simpler forum. I just think the features that are there should work as expected /advertised; instead, as of now, they are a bit confusing and counter-intuitive.

"New posts" is in the expected order now (y)

 

There still doesn't seem to be a place to view alerts without a pageload (or at least I'm not seeing it).

Yay! 123 new notifications! Let's see what they are!

When I'm on another page than the forum in the top bar (home, news about...) the forum button has a drop down menu.

By clicking on "all threads" in this drop down I can see the names of the individual subforums, including the ones in the Private Admin Moderator Section, which are hidden on the front page. Don't know if this is intended or we're not supposed to be able to see the names of those.

Thanks - I removed all threads for now but hopefully you can only see the proper forums lists now.

Note to self: rename the moderator-only thread called "all non-privileged users are stupid" to something different.

 

Just kidding of course, there's no such thread :p

 

I have also noticed what you're describing. Actually clicking on the thread name trying to open it only leads to an error if you don't have the rights to view it (at least in the cases I have observed), so it's not a big issue... but at the very least it may be misleading.

 

@Denis Dyack other thread lists have similar problems, for example I can see "For Admins Only" in trending threads, wouldn't be surprised if it affected other lists similar to that. It seems like "New Posts" is unaffected, at least I can't see the "For Admins Only" thread there. Either way, clicking the link to that thread just results in an error.

Yeah I can't see another page that displays that information. I mean I can still go to all threads because my browser remembers the URL, but the link is gone and the other links don't seem to show anything about that.
