Come On Asher!

I just read Nicolas Claras/ post moments ago but wanting to go back when I click on new posts again it's gone...where...where? This is what I get:

Can't you make this site more user friendly?

 

[Asher Kelman]

Is it the one after this new thread of yours below?

Beloe the lightening symbol​

Hi Peter,
I understand how frustrating this is! How do you surf OPF?
On a laptop (or computer)?
A tablet?
A smartphone?
As far as I'm concerned I find the IOS version is not at all user friendly (crap if I may say) but anyway I find that looking at pictures on a smartphone is not a good idea... But this is not a reason for providing a bad user experience.

It might be that the heading actually should be “posts you have not yet seen”.

The heading icon with the lightening bolt,



means “recent posts”, and that doesn’t change if you look at a thread!

Nicolas,

On a computer, is the heading Pater is finding troublesome also called, “New Posts” too or “New Posts since last visit” or what? I am in San Francisco until tomorrow.

Menus are different on computer / IOS
So I can't tell

 

[nicolas claris]

I mean I can't tell until @Peter Dexter reply to my question above

 

[Peter Dexter]

Nicolas I use a Mac desktop computer.

 

[Asher Kelman]

Great I will check on my wife’s laptop!

 

[Asher Kelman]

Peter,

That mobile phone icon, the lightening bolt seems to be limited to that OS.

On Mac OS, try "Find Threads" under forums. Those that interest us, we can make as watched.

In the meanwhile I will try to devise a heading, "Recently Viewed".

Let me know any special description for me to give to a programmer.

I have dug a bit with the navigation items and discovered some that are there for long but I never use, now I find these :

Confusing a lot !
Previously I have used only the "What's new" and "Latest posts" menus and find them quite convenient.

When "What's new" is checked, I see in bold where there are new messages and non bold thos I'have already seen but with no new post… Handy!

Simple and effective, why all these bunch of under menus?

Who uses them?
I ask !

I never use anything other than my iPad to check in on forums - or to post on them.

i have no issues here on OPF. The only button I click on when I check, is “What’s New”. I get everything I want there. The only time I click on ”Forums” is to select a category to Post a thread in. Everyone’s needs are different I suppose.

If I was wanting to keep track of a post I am interested in , I can use the “Watch” button on each post, to get notifications when there is new content. I haven’t had the need for that however.

Peter,

Do we still need to correct anything?

Asher

 

[Peter Dexter]

No I will try the different suggestions.
