Hi wpilr_nov12,wpilr_nov12 wrote:what I dont like:
1. cant see number of replies in post listing. this was my way of identifying where I could contribute.
2, cant see the last reply by - another useful indicator of the soundness of advice was a useful feature
3. not very minitab friendly - post header and post author are too close to each other
4. dont like the icons - everything in circles is not very user friendly. could New topics be in triangles or some other shapes?
I am a champion for change by profession, but this change to this forum I cannot agree with.
I am sorry, but we don't have plans for creating a mobile application for Apple, Android, Windows in the nearest future. I think the current board theme is generally mobile friendly. So the potential development costs of applications for all major mobile platforms would simply outweigh the benefits. We do however plan to make some improvements for the theme, so that it would look better on both mobile and desktop versions. Opinion of our board members is important for us, so if you have any feasible recommendations on how to make the message board more user friendly, please feel free to express them here!Pqek wrote:I believe change is always good though difficult to acept. With time we will realise the new features of the new format.
Something I would have hoped for and saw a few members of the forum asking for was an app for Apple/Android. Any chance to get that in the near future?
I think I have dealt with the problem that you mentioned. If you see other strange things, please report them here.MPH80 wrote:As a quick example on the viewing posts problem - I just did two posts - the one I just posted above and one on Family Members.
The one on family members redirected me (without me clicking anything) to JUST my post (with nothing else on the page - but I'm only post 4 so it wasn't a pagination thing) ... but this one redirected me to the entire thread but focused on my post.
Weird.
Edit: The problem appears to be a CSS positioning one - when I saved this post - it rendered the entire thread to me but the top 6-7 posts were under the header at the top - I have a screenshot if you'd like it. Chrome developer tools showed me the HTML was there for those posts - they were just rendered 'up screen'.
(For info - latest version of Chrome on OS X 10.9).
I'm afraid it's still going on for me - although I notice the crumbtrail is back!Administrator wrote:I think I have dealt with the problem that you mentioned.

On phones (at least i-phone), the responsiveness of the site removes those two figures which I found very useful in determining whether I should read the post or not.wpilr_nov12 wrote:what I dont like:

Thank you for the feedback, Jambo! I'll discuss these things with the designer and we'll make some changes.Jambo wrote:On phones (at least i-phone), the responsiveness of the site removes those two figures which I found very useful in determining whether I should read the post or not.wpilr_nov12 wrote:what I dont like:

On phones, the post text box is bigger than the screen and it is difficult to go back and correct text if hidden (out of bounds).
Do we need to display the moderators username in every section heading in the index page?
On phones, the ads are quite big and don't fit the area.
Great to hear that MPH80!MPH80 wrote:Just a note to say I'm liking the new definition for stickies - MUCH clearer!
