Forum new look?

[wanderer_1204]

I doubt this thread anything other than for us to air our grievances and help each other out if possible. Based on the recent JNC responses or lack thereof for user feedback, i am not holding my breath.

Hi,

Sorry about all of the recent issues with the forums. We had to update, and this just came with the update.

But a few things have been done to hopefully make things a bit better?

Please tag me, or reply to me with any feedback., and I can relay it, and we can work from there.

Sorry for the issues.

@Rahul-Balaggan thanks for proving me wrong. Also, thanks for bringing back the formatting to show which threads i have "read" in "recent" section.

@wanderer_1204

I am not here to prove anything other than we are working on things. Slowly, yes, but working on things.

The 1 other very big thing we are aware of is spoilers not opening.

It is actively being looked into right now.

Also I am dropping a test here just so I can reference it:

@Rahul-Balaggan There is a visible difference between read and unread topics now, which is definitely one improvement!

That said, the issues related to the page widths and the top bar are still there - 'intermediate' widths get the most minimal UI, with more being displayed on narrower screens, and then all controls being visible on wide screens.

Can we get notifications in the sidebar back? Not sure if its a bug or intentional, I'll learn to live with everything else if this returns :p

@kuali

Is that better?

(Something was updated)

[kuali]

@Rahul-Balaggan Better, certainly. The top bar makes the 'search' control available at all widths now, so it doesn't disappear and reappear as I resize the browser or open my phone.

That said, the left menu (where the categories/unread/recent/etc buttons go) is still hiding the labels in the intermediate widths (same as the screenshots I posted here)

[Rahul Balaggan]

@kuali How is it now?

[kuali]

@Rahul-Balaggan After the last refresh, the menu labels are visible at every width I've tried.
