Forum Changes breaking things

Dennis Handly — Mon, 22 May 2017 03:57:01 GMT

Today when I tried the forum there were several changes, none good. :-(

Lots of changes seem to be with New vs Read?

(I'm using firefox 53.0.)

1) When I read a blog, it doesn't get marked as read and I have to explicitly use Blog Options > Mark as Read

2) When I look at the unread posts I don't see icon descriptions when I hover.

3) Also the Previous/Next buttons are on the bottom right when they should be on the left. This is the natural flow of opening new tabs by clicking on the titles. I don't look at the authors (on right).

4) When I add a tag, the box opens several lines down, then I have to move up to click on ADD.

For some reason when I do it in this Feedback board, it seems to work the old way. Is this board specific?

5) When I click on a topic on aboard, I'm no longer sent to the first unread post, it starts at first.

I do have "Jump to first unread post in a topic" enabled.

And what's worse is there is no "[ new ]" there there either! So I have to scan every entry for a guess of a time.

Dennis,

The first investigation, over the "Jump to latest post" functionality, is ongoing. It indeed appears not to be working as I understand it would.

I am also looking into the other concerns, and will reply as I know more.

"Jump to latest post" functionality seems to be working in the new SW forum.

And it seems reading blogs now works here. But still broken there.

Edit: This is now working here. :-)

Along with previous complaint about tags, I no longer see the View All (X) link that let you see who added tags and delete your own.

Something like:

t5/forums/tagdetailpage/tag-cloud-grouping/tag/tag-cloud-style/frequent/message-scope/single/board-id/Feedback/message-id/11905/user-scope/all/tag-scope/all/timerange/all/tag-visibility-scope/all

Edit:

I finally got it working after I made a mistake and wanted to delete one.

https://community.hpe.com/t5/forums/tagdetailpage/tag-cloud-grouping/tag/tag-cloud-style/frequent/message-scope/single/board-id/itrc-198/message-id/33690/user-scope/all/tag-scope/all/timerange/all/tag-visibility-scope/all

Where the message-id is the one from the #M33690 anchor. Not the m-p that's in the URL.

Another problem I just noticed is that it is non-obvious how to reply to a PM. Before, a separate reply button was under each message in the Inbox. Now I have to check the message, go up to the top right and under Options, select Reply to Checked.

Hmm, I guess I should have clicked on the Subject of that message and it's all there as before.

For #2, the tool tip, what I see is this:

We have fixed the position of the "ADD TAGS" button in relation to the New Tags field.

Thanks for your feedback.

@Warren_Admin: the tool tip, what I see is this:

I'm talking about the icon on very left. That tells if topic or blog.

You should tell the SW forum, since still broken there.
