New Forum layout problems / bugs / How Do I?

The key points for me that render the new forum unusable are the lack of red/green boxes on the main listing and the inability to sort threads by title or end date. Both being worked on by the dev team, but any idea how long this will take to resolve? It seems a lot of users are starting to look elsewhere and any fixes could be too little too late?

I completely agree. The new forum has been up a couple of weeks now and I haven’t seen any changes that have helped to make it more user friendly. Comping used to be enjoyable, now I just find it a chore! A timescale would be very helpful

It is taking so much longer to comp now as I can't just hover to read more details and see if it is a comp I want to enter I have to open it.
 if I have forgotten an answer to the question and have the entry form open in a different tab I can't just look back at the listing page and hover, I have to click back and open it properly.

It is getting really annoying!

Yes indeed. I'm missing doing the comps, but not so much that RSI in my shoulder is worth it. So if I move it will be permanent. Cant do two sites at the same time,  tend to enter lots twice and disqualify yourself.
A timeline of when we can expect the previously normal things back, then I can see if I want to stay.

God this new layout is awful. Can’t work out to use it at all.

From MSE Tine's post on the (now closed) snagging thread on the Feedback board.

"Next up, we’ll be sorting:

• Returning ability to skip competitions from List view (we'll also make it possible to mark them as entered here too).
• Investigating sorting, filtering and expiring options for Competitions Board.
• Date stamps on Mobile view.
• Functionality of cog etc on Mobile.
• Post numbering to enable easy linking to individual post."

These are not simple fixes, each takes time and lots of clever tricks and wizardry, but as soon as they're sorted, tested, and ready, we'll see them!

Is it possible to view more threads? I used to be able to view 200 per page but now there’s only about 10 per page.

also annoying when you open a thread to find its a log in/reg comp and you just never do those, or its a social media comp

Is anyone else constantly getting logged out? Starting to become a real pain and can't seem to see a reason for it!
