Hi everyone,

A special shout out to @Naivete @Nessy @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Luv2contradance @Darias @Stafford @NarelleMc @Minelli1984 who 'Liked' previous posts.

 For today’s update, I’m excited to share some information about the mobile version of the new Responsive site.

The mobile version probably has the most amount of differences to it, compared to the current version. So I will take you through some of the big ones.

1. When you arrive at on the homepage, the images with the four people featured in it are no longer there. Instead, below the organisation’s banner, you will see the Forums blurb and the banner images advertising upcoming events in both forums.

 2. The Register and Login location has moved and is now at the top right of the screen, which is the same as desktop and tablet version.  

As previously mentioned – on mobile you will now be able to access your profile and your subscriptions. You can access this by pressing on your username and pic.

3. Previously you could access all the Discussion Topics through a drop down under the heading for each Forum. Now you can scroll down the jump into one forum or the other to get the full version of the discussion topic list

This is the view you see from the landing page of the forums, which will give you access to all of the Discussion Topics. The list below is the most recent new discussions (which is what you see on tablet and desktop currently)

View of the Forums, which is reflective of the desktop and tablet version.

4. Previously, it was only on desktop or tablet versions of the site you could see the first 100 characters of a thread, but now this is available on mobile as highlighted under 'Time for a new conversation'

You will also notice a new feature, which is replicated on desktop and tablet version (& that we will go into in our next update), that now you can also see who started the thread & the date they started it, as well as who posted the most recent post in that thread and when they posted it.

5. The ‘Latest comment’ module is at the bottom of each forum

6. You can now quickly access the Community Guidelines and the Getting Started section, which isn’t possible in the current version

 Because the responsive mobile version has so many more features and reflects the desktop and tablet version of the forums, we will be officially retiring the Forum app as of June 5. It was removed from the app store some time ago now, but for the small portion who still use it, it will no longer be accessible.

So that's it for another episode of Forum Responsive update. We hope that you're as pleased as we are with the new responsive platform!
