Hi everyone,

A special shout out to @Sans911 @Teej @Former-Member @Snowie @Determined @frog @Former-Member @Former-Member @CheerBear @Eden1919 @Bunniekins @Mazarita @Queenie @Zoe7 @Former-Member who wanted to keep updated on this thread.

Today I wanted to give you a sneak peek into what posts look like.

 

In my opinion, this is the biggest visual difference between our current version and the responsive version.

 

This is what a thread looks like on the Responsive version of the Forums:

As you can see, the main differences are:

  • The LIKE button is to the left of the post
  • Reply & Quick reply are more to the right
  • Each post is its own box to separate it from the rest (rather than a line above & below)
  • After the first post it shows how many responses there are and gives you an option to go to the next discussion or return back to a list of discussion topics
  • The name and profile pic appear slightly differently. Images are now in a circle and the username is next to, rather than under, the image
  • The date appears on the right of a post

 

You may also notice that ‘Report Inappropriate Content’ and the ‘Edit’ button are not within the post. You can now find them in the drop down menu to the right ‘Post Options’.

Some of these options are new and some already exist, but have been added to this menu.

 

Edit post: You will only see this option if you are the author of the thread. This allows you to edit the content whenever you like.

Mark as new: Many of you would have noticed that if you haven’t viewed a post before, it shows a little [New] label next to the title within a post. By choosing this option, it doesn’t remove the label.

Favourite: On the current version, this appears as a star within the post. Using this option will add it to a list of posts you want to keep easy access to within your profile.

Subscribe: This simply subscribes you to the thread the post is within.

Permalink: This provides you with a very specific URL, which not just links to that page, but specifically to that post. When you select this, the URL changes slightly (the last few numbers) so if used again, it will take you straight to the post.

Print: This was previously an option represented within the post as a printer icon. This will print the specific post.

Report Inappropriate Content: This option use to live under the username of the author of the specific post. It still serves the same purpose. It will open up a new page for you to insert information on a post that you feel is inappropriate.

It did take a little getting used to, but it’s so interesting that now when I come back to the non-responsive version of the Forums after playing with the Responsive version, the non-responsive version feels really clunky and crowded!

Later this week I will update you on responding to a post and starting a new discussion Smiley Very Happy
