JerryBaumchen 1,047 #1 Posted January 31, 2019 Hi folks, I noticed that the blue dots/stars have disappeared. Also, now when I have read the last post in a thread, I can no long go to that thread. So, I decided to start this thread; since I can no longer comment on the Site Launch thread. Anyone want to play here? Jerry Baumchen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IanHarrop 37 #2 January 31, 2019 People complained about the function of the blue dots not being obvious and the offer was made to replace them with a very obvious yellow unread button. A number of people agreed so that is what we have now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,340 #3 January 31, 2019 (edited) The 'stars & dots' on the left have changed to an orange box with the word 'unread' to the right of the thread title. I haven't tried to get into a 'fully read' thread, so I don't know about that part. The thing that is bothering me the most is that the order of subjects in "Skydiving" has changed a lot. I just commented on this in another thread. Used to be General, Safety, G&R, Instructors, Tandem, Incidents, Tunnel, Events, History. Very different now. Edit to fix the word in the orange box. Duh.

In the old format it was at the top. The great news is that you can hide the entire catagory in the new format and not have it appear at all. Jerry - another thing that was changed since the first launch is that originally if you clicked the link it would take you to the first post of the thread even if the thread had hundreds of replies. The functionality was changed so that now if you click on the link, the link will take you to the first unread reply in the thread (no longer need the blue button to take you there) and an orange box was added to indicate which threads have unread content. If you click a thread that has no new content then it returns to the first entry since there is nothing unread to jump you to. This returns the functionality and usability of the site to a lot closer to the old workflow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
