Hi MikeG1
It is taking awhile to get used to how the new forum works. I few 'erks' include:
- main page shows 5 posts - can this be increased or customised by user. Constantly having to press 'Show More'.
- After pressing 'Show More' we see a super sized display of the next post's user icon etc. Must click outside to clear this from screen. Combination of this and above means more annoyances which could easily be avoided.
- the inconsistent and bewildering hierarchy or nesting of posts needs to be addressed as a priority. Like most regular forum readers, I only want to see the latest update to a post, as we have already read all previous posts in the thread. Finding the latest post can be frustrating. Even though I select Newest as 'sort by', I am rarely taken to the newest post. Take this post as an example - main screen shows updated 3 hours ago. Click on link - scroll click, show more click, I need to read every post and posts under each hierarchy or nest to find the latest post. Previous forum software showed every post in chronological order, even if the reply may not have been to the preceding post - this makes more sense to me and is easier to read rather than jumping around the nested posts.
- main screen show for each post the original author then when last updated. To me it makes more sense to see name of person who make the latest update, rather than the original author.
- clicking on the '3 hours ago' link should take you directly to the most recent reply - it doesn't - see above comment about confusing nested posts.
Regards
Gavin
