Can you no longer see your "thanks" or whatever they're called, as a list of posts?

I sometimes used to look to see which of my posts (if any😉) had been liked.   You know, to get some feedback 😁😇😎


And, it's soooo slow to load each page now.   ☹️

You have to go onto your profile and select the green thumbs up button. I've managed to get a list of thanks on mine:

The one silver lining I've found is that if someone thanks the first post of the thread, the thanks list of the OP still shows properly.

May I ask - was this project driven by back-end people, with UX and front-end people side-lined? These are difficult projects to oversee, and the tension between the two camps can be difficult to manage, but from the outside this appears to be such an example

Hi, assuming UX is "user experience" (i.e. us !), I think that is a very pertinent question, which nails a concern that has been growing in my mind the last couple of hours.

It is, yes

Ta !  Presumably it might have been technically possible to put a new format of this kind into a 'sandbox' (excuse the non expert term !) and invite (say) a random group of several hundred users to test it, before being launched sitewide ?

Same here, can't find the thread that was talking about upcoming changes.  Same as before (two changes ago I think).., titles don't stand out enough, I use my pc but must be even harder to decide which threads you want to look at with a mobile phone.  But this change was supposed to be even more mobile user friendly.  Its not a 'hate change' reaction, its a basic useability comparison reaction.  Do like being able to see 'your threads' but that's the only improvement I can see so far.

Ah well, at least it will help break my addiction, I used to spend far too long on here.

I thought I'd deleted a cookie or something.

I'd never noticed before that I had Drafts.  In fact I had 15 so I have just cleared those out.  If I'd been able to see that on previous versions I could actually have posted them.  That's the only positive I've seen so far.

Not sure what settings you are looking for but if you click on the bell icon, then the icon with three lines there are settings.

Yes, it does look like a mobile screen on my pc!

You'd think in the 21st century it could tell if you were on a mobile and switch to a mobile interface, and leave a sensible one for pc users....

Why do people always break things that work?

I thought the mantra was "If it ain't broke-don't fix it!"

RumRat

I predict a long drawn out thread full of complaints and threats to leave................Just like the last change elicited....😂😂

Why change something when it's not necessary? The layout I have come back to today is horrible. I last used it on Sunday and it was fine!

Too much white, not enough contrast to distinguish the content I actually want to read. Too much information on the page that's not necessary, specially after someones username!

And why is it pushed all the way to the left? - with this big space to the right? I hate that. I changed it back to the old layout (when you had the option) last time you all changed the forum, so that it was more in the middle. But that option has been removed. Why? Please put that option back.

I actually like it, I'm using on a laptop and it's still easy to navigate. The one thing I'm glad is back is the first couple of lines of a thread. I dislike clicking on a thread subject when it is then obvious from the first sentence that it wasn't what I thought it was.
