Forum new look?

[Lily Garden]

@Rahul-Balaggan there’s still no feature indicating which pages I have already read so navigating the forums is more difficult than before

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback. Can I ask for more specifics?

Are you referring to pages for topics that are unread vs read?

I am jumping the gun here a bit below:
Or is this about a forum topic itself?

I am having trouble visualizing what a forum topic with 5 pages would look like to indicate that page 1 and 2 were read, and pages 3-5 were unread.

usually when you open an unread topic. It opens at the last message read.

So if I set the zoom on Chrome to 80% or below I can see in the thread list the statistics like the number of posts, views and the preview of the last reply, that are hidden with higher zoom levels. But when I reply to a thread, if I don't set the zoom to 90% or higher the top bar in the post editing window with the Cancel and Send buttons is hidden, making impossible to send replies unless I use 90% or 100% zoom. So either I have to give up seeing all the details on the threads list, which is kinda ridiculous on a 12 inches tablet, or I have to constantly change zoom. I hope JNC staff will be able to make the forum work better on larger mobile screens.

Topics that are read vs unread

Previously when I went on the forum the l could tell at a glance if— for example I had already read the Bookworm discussion topic—-because the topics were color coded for read vs unread

Now it’s difficult to tell which topics people have recently posted in and so it’s hard to keep up with the discussions

@Lily-Garden

Thanks for the feedback. I’m assuming you’re referring to the Recent section, where read and unread topics appear together.

We’ve made an adjustment so topics with unread posts now have two indicators as seen in these photos.

The blue to the left of the topic for unread.

It opens but doesn't close.

[Rahul Balaggan]

@Almond-Magnum

yup, going to be like that for a while unfortunately

Thank you to the forum team for working to improve the issues, I just tried a few different darker skins again and contrast and readability have greatly improved and they are mostly now readable, however text in quote blocks is still very low contrast with the "vapor" skin, the text is light blue and the quote block is slightly darker blue. I would include a screenshot but imgur does not appear to be working at the moment.

I'm kind of hoping the custom css overrides will be re-enabled again, though it's not the end of the world if they aren't

[Rahul Balaggan]

@Valanduin

This should be fixed.

[Rahul Balaggan]

notifications on mobile in the side bar should now be back.

It will require a refresh

"Unread" page seems to be broken. I get notifications about new posts on threads I am watching. But I used to see those also in the "unread" page before. Now I see some threads but not all.

[Rahul Balaggan]

@wanderer_1204

I am afraid we can't reproduce this.

I marked all topics as "read". Then I waited.

A topic (Seafoam V2) has a new post. It is showing in unread for me, and in recent.

Recent shows no other new post from when I marked all as unread.

@Rahul-Balaggan Worked to open, but not to close.
