Forum Wonkiness

ericmedley

Is anyone else having issues with the forum? Lately I've had to re-enter my login creds a lot while browsing. I've also noticed the "What's New" button now links to a different search. It used to just take me to a list of my unread posts. Now it's a list of active topics. I then can hit the "new posts" sub menu.

yeah, when I login it doesn't go straight to the forum it puts up a link to redirect on the screen but its not 'clickable.
I just have to select where I want to go then its fine

Looks like a designer decided to create some confusion. Don't you just love it when someone tries to reinvent the wheel

To see the view that you might be familiar with, you may need to select 'What's New?' and then select 'New Posts'.

That's the view I prefer to see. The new default view appears to be 'Activity Stream' which turns it into some kind of farcebook 'wall'. The priority of the new view is the User that made the post, not the actual subject at hand, which has been made into a secondary item of the listings.

(end of rant ).

yeah, that's what I'm doing. I'm now two clicks away from forum happiness instead of one. Oh well, you get what you pay for...
