New Forum Snagging

monsieur_epargnant

Hmm not sure if this is a new forum snag or inherited via a Web Extension I use (in Firefox "Dark Background and Light Text"). Never observed until this migration, however.  https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6100060/e-24-02-win-1-of-8-tile-pro-combo-packs-ig

Edit: Thanks to @Comping_Rich in that discussion who observed this is a newly observed HTML breadcrumb. Consider stripping all HTML in edit box unless an advanced mode is implemented. Or perhaps markdown?

The new mobile version has a huge amount of clutter above the forum which you now need to scroll past before you can even read the forums. The previous mobile version was pretty much perfect is this regards but now it's two scrolls to get to the first section. Ideally could do with condensing somehow.

How do I now find my own old posts?

Click on either your username on a thread, or the Profile icon at top right of page, then View Profile

Scroll down past the loads of badge icons to almost the bottom of the page

Look for Replies in a white section, near Notifications, Threads, Inbox

I've suggested earlier that this page might be redesigned to have that section near the top.

Notification of new posts on threads you have commented on means you get inundated with emails on a very active thread (like this one). The old site would send one email (sometimes a few due perhaps to a bug) and then no more until you read the thread. Perfect if you were going away for a few days or longer, as you would otherwise get your inbox full of trash you really didn't need.

Another thing I just noticed is everyone seems to have their number of posts listed twice under their avatar on the LHS eg Robatwork

5.6K posts

Posts: 5,620 Forumite

Well everyone except me... who it just shows as

 Posts: 3,362

 

I agree with butterflymum re the badges need a bit of tweeking. Mine are currently showing 10 & 9 yr anniversary badges (why both?). It also shows that I've made my 1st and 10th forum posts   Errm I made them in 2007 long before badges started if I remember correctly and have made several thousand since!

Your post is showing the 3.3K as well, at least for everyone except you.
The "forumite" title or the duplicate post counter eg 3.3k does not show for yourself if you are posting but appears it seems , if you are logged in and writing/editing a post.

Post Titles have disappeared.

I'm not talking about Thread Titles. On some longer threads each reply posted could have its own title, and these could contain important information. When the forum switched from Green to Blue these were omitted at first as well.

Searching on the main site for the forum is broken.

E.g. Clicking on MSE logo >> click in search text box and search paramater (tested "snagging") >> select "FORUM" from drop down >> click magnifying glass icon >>"Whoops! Sorry you've landed on a page that doesn't exist...

This also switches the user to the forum mode where this search box's behaviour changes. That same search field now **only** searches in forums and the user is expected to observe the new/duplicated search box further down the page. That box has success when performing the test search.

A positive comment for once: it's super that you can now drag and drop images into posts.

Though there it ends.....how can you remove an image if you change your mind (before even posting the comment)?

If you refresh a thread page after receiving an email saying there is a new post, it doen't show. It shows if you click on the email link.

That's using Firefox.

Did I say I really HATE the double spacing in the edit screen?

I am sight-impaired and managed fine with the green style but can barely see if the entered button is pressed and cannot see if the skipped or compliment buttons are pressed at all.  Is it possible to make them stand out a bit more please, the  colours are too pale for me to tell if they have been pressed.  Also cannot see bold very well, so have to click around in text trying to work out which is the link. These things were all clearly visible on the old forum for me.
