Many folks seem to agree that the previous format that showed a list of 'recently updated' threads, was more intuitive.
I have noticed (and used) the "Posts Since Last Visit" tab on the sub-list under "FORUMS" but it shows the posts themselves (not the threads necessarily) and doesn't always seem to be complete.
There is also the "Latest Activity" tab on the Home page that may be useful but I have not figured it out yet.
I also noticed that if you actually drill-down into a forum 'discussion category' like "Events" each thread shows a small round blue button in front of every thread that will "go to the first new post" That seems to be very useful, but I have only seen it when drilling down into specific discussion categories.
Maybe if that "go to first new post" button was shown on a list of most recently updated threads, that would be the kind of functionality a lot of folks are looking for?
Just curious - has anyone felt like they have mastered the new format and finding stuff is as easy as before? Any tips or tricks would be very much appreciated!
Or, maybe we are just a bunch of old dogs resisting learning new tricks? LOL :smile:
I will say I do not like the move that has come with making everything 'mobile' where many functions are hidden under unnamed icons. Not just here, but everywhere. (like the go to first new post icon) But, I do understand why the industry is going that way. Don't have to like it tho. I'll just be an old dog in that regard.
Have to say that I appreciate the effort that Todd and the other Administrators are doing to keep the site up, running, and safe from hacking. Thanks guys.
