Weird Things I Noticed

Can we get another button in the banner to go back to the main forum page instead of going through the menu? I get wanting to expand with articles and podcasts but I imagine way more people want to just go to the forum in one click.

You're right.

Bad idea.

Also, you do know there is a button on both versions that goes straight to New Posts?

Ya it's cool to have articles but I have to click like 5 buttons to get to new posts

Do you not have the icon on the top right for New Posts?

And I panic when it hits 500?

I never use the function.

I prefer a manual stroll through each forum.

It is leisurely.

I prefer a quick button just to get back to the main forum page vs new posts. Like the logo used to.

I got thrown for a loop at first too. But, it’s now just two taps on mobile instead of one. Tap the three horizontal lines in the top left corner and then tap the Forums link.

If it is better for this site and drives more traffic, I will happily adapt…. Although admittedly I haven’t broken several thousand taps worth of muscle memory habit yet, but I’ll get there and I’m sure we all will.

Too many tap tap tap-a-roos.

I created bookmarks that take me to favorite spots in one click.

The front page redesign is meant to grow the site, empower our expert members, and reach out to a new generation of fans who didn’t grow up on message boards. It will help us if experienced users will adjust a little as we try to make the site more relevant and sustainable to new audiences. Plus the new content is pretty fantastic.

We’re asking for a little bit of leeway as we work through the kinks of getting the front page rolling.. Hopefully once we do, people will see the value in potentially an extra click, or it being a little different than what you’ve become accustomed to..

We’ll just favorite the forum page just to skip over that extra click.

It's not good for front page traffic, but they can bookmark the forums page and go from there.

I understand. Wonder how many people are here for the new content or are solely here for the wonderful threads. Honestly I’ll probably never look at it, not that one member matters. I’m just here to peruse the forums.

Is there content that you would be particularly interested in?

When I click Donate I get a nearly blank page that says "No donation campaigns exist at the moment." ... with no obvious other place to go donate. Am I just missing it? It's certainly been a brutal sports weekend.

User reports this problem using Safari with different results on 2 ipads:

On one of my iPads (iPad Pro) all of my “reply functions” are inoperative (they’re a light gray)…I’m referring to emojis, italics, everything. Now on my iPad Air (both with same iOS ) I can utilize all functions. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
