New Forum Design: Official Feedback Thread

Re: Missing information bugs

Are speaking of the WC app?
I use mTalk and both those issues don't exist.

I should have mentioned.

I only access the forums from a PC. No app. But the things I mentioned are missing in Firefox, IE and Edge. I haven't tried other browsers but don't think this is a browser problem.

I seldom access the forums from a PC, so I can't comment. Doesn't sound like the browser though. Hopefully someone else chimes in.

The IE11 itineration of Windows Central Forums seems to now be fixed and usable. That would be the MoNa style anyway. Thanks team.

The WC2012 style remains unstickable in both Edge and IE11 though.

Baby steps are progress nonetheless. Thanks team.

...the name of who started a thread isn't shown in the thread lists...

Additionally the date and time of thread creation should appear on the wrapper.

Yep, not the browser, it's the site. I use all of the browsers and it's the same deal.

I tried Chrome also - it's missing there as well.
However it works for Android Central Forum.

Hmm. I wonder if Microsoft is maintaining all these forums. Would explain why Android would come first.

'AC was the original testing bed. I believe changes are going to happen there first and then get pushed out to the other MoNa sites.'
This is what RumoredNow said in reply to an earlier post of mine.

Please provide a high contrast theme for those of us with lower vision! The toggle between light and dark still does not provide enough contrast.

The Trending banner button game is too easy.

When the Trending banner is updated, the buttons to the right move right or left depending on the length of the trending thread title (see pictures).

The banner currently updates ever few seconds, which makes it WAY too easy to click on the desired button to the right of the banner. Personally, I think the banner should update every 1/4 second. But if that's not doable, maybe speed it up 1/4 second for a member every time they manage to click on a button before it moves.

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but is there a way to multi-quote more posts at a time?

Other than that I really like the new design. Very stylish :smile:

 

[RumoredNow]

...is there a way to multi-quote more posts at a time?

Not right now. There is no multiquote button...

You have to quote a post and copy it to clipboard (because you can't even stack them the same way you used to be able to by hitting quote on another post and it shows up in the edit box with the previous quote - now hitting a second quote opens a new edit box and anything in the previous box is just gone)...

So quote one post, copy to clipboard. Quote second post and paste in first quote, copy all to clipboard. Quote third post and paste in first two quotes... Repeat as needed. A PITA to be sure, especially if the posts are on more than one page of the thread.

Thanks for the reply. We would surely need this simple feature in the future updates. Until then, copy and paste will have to do

cool little animation effect when hitting the like (heart) icon...kudos

Personally I would like it if ignored posts weren't so hard to ignore. Maybe shrink it way down, without the avatar placeholder, and without bright colored buttons for unblocking?

 

[DavidinCT]

I don't like it myself...

Just came on site and was presented with the new design. My initial thoughts...

1. That homepage header is huge. I like big but that is HUGE. 4 boxes take up almost half of my screen at 1366x768 resolution.

2. I don't like that I can't tell if I am logged in unless I use the hamburger. And then it's just a small amount of text in a light shade of gray that is barely visible.

3. Not sure what that juicer looking icon on the top right of the story pages is supposed to represent or do but it just goes to a "server not found" page.

 

[RumoredNow]

I think that is supposed to be a shopping basket?

 

[RumoredNow]

C'mon, really?

I can't log out because THE ADVERTISEMENT COVERS THE LOGOUT BUTTON if I'm at the top of the page.





It's like you just take delight in making the place less functional at every turn.



For the record, I'm retired... It doesn't show that I am, but trust me I retired from staff 5 weeks ago. So this is just my civilian opinion and not some official pronouncement.

What I figured out on the new Website.

- Watchout for the Low quality of LOGO.
- Un-responsive website (even in CHROME)
- More ads can be seen under adblock-icon
- Sidebar images overlaps the navbar, menu.



- Menu doesn't opened on HOME-PAGE.
- ... finding more bugs...
