Forum lay out

[Flintstone]

What's people thoughts? Since it changed a week ago, it's not half as easy to see what's what, imo!

 

[Andy Allen]

Lol......wonder who else made that mistake

 

[MTiler]

why was it changed in the first place? Not overkeen

 

[LM]

No! You've got your phone wrong way up!
Turn it landscape Lee.

Lol it didn't say that in the instructions haha
Such simple thing

Lol......wonder who else made that mistake

It was clutter. So I've got rid. If it's in the new posts area when you click new posts, it has new posts. Regardless of when it was posted to last, it has new posts for you to read.

I've enabled the new posts link in the main tiling forum again. That was the forum it was missing from.

Forum has always been that way since introduction of this platform last year mate.
The more screen you have available, the more options appear.
You should notice now more options on your menu bar as opposed to being in a drop down box.
Put it on tablet or PC/Laptop you get full menu in front of you.
My website operates same way, it adjusts to amount of visible screen you have.
It's Google friendly too! Haha
It must be me then, because I thought everyone used their phone landscape, why wouldn't you anyway?
It's much easier to read posts, the words are not all crammed together haha
What I mean is, there are fewer lines per post.
I loose 4 lines with this post between portrait and landscape.

 

[Flintstone]

Just put it back to how it was and keep the masses happy!

Me!!

 

[Rookery]

Please put it back to the old way, or even the older way.

 

[One Day]

It was fine a couple of weeks ago.
Now the changes are putting me off coming here - particularly on my phone (Note 4).
Scrolling is a pain, new topics keep disappearing, posting is slower than ever....
Not broken before - why fix it???

 

[stephenoneill]

The answer is in the question or in the amount of responses here .I understand the new forum it's just too complicated and was better before.which was clear .precise and above all simple to use

 

[Dan]

Nothing has changed lol we have just stripped back the new posts page to get rid of the clutter.

The new posts link in the blue menu that went during only browsing the main tiling forum is back now.

So you're literally not missing any information. If there is a thread showing in new posts, it has new posts. Why does the time of the new post matter?

 

[Flintstone]

It is totally different Dan

 

[Flintstone]

Get rid of all them sticky threads as well, there a pest

 

[hmtiling]

I'm now using my phone on landscape and still not getting on with site.

What's different? And which sticky threads annoy you? Which forum category?

We're a forum for the masses and I check stats when I tweak things to see how they improve overall (or not sometimes). If you have suggestions stick them in the feedback forum and we'll take them on board. But if I listen to everybody, nothing gets improved. We would need a version of the forum customised to every single person and that just isn't possible.

What's your actual problem with it? I'll see if there's an issue or something if you give me more info and stick the beer down lol

Actually not drinking tonight Dan as working in the morning
So, clicking on new posts I get, what seems to me, no chronological order.

 

[Dan]

The times shown are when the thread was created. The order of them is the one with the newest post for you is top (different order for everybody because they would have viewed the threads originally in order they personally viewed them). That has always been the case, but previous the (useless info) time of the last post was shown.

 

[Old Mod]

The time of the last post is under title in left corner Harry.
They're in chronological order of being posted.
The time and date at top is when thread was created and by whom.

I feel I've been a little slow there.
I did prefer it the other way though.

Do you use a tablet or laptop Harry?
Do you have something to compare your phone with?

 

[hmtiling]

That info is useless. If the thread is shown in the new posts page, it has new posts. If it doesn't have new posts it wouldn't be shown there. You'd have to navigate to the forum category it was posted in to find it etc

That has always been the case. Except it used to show the time of the last post. But its unless info, as if it is on that page in the first place it has a new post. What does it matter what time it was posted?

We don't answer threads between 4-6pm or whatever. If they have new posts we tend to check them. End of.
