Social Groups Forum Changed?


Ironblade

 

Posted

I logged into my social group forum and it is all wacked out. First, the selection is different, showing left and right columns instead of my groups in a top row and those available in a bottom panel. Second, the posts are now broken down into discussions which is kind of cool, but when you open one of the discussions, the avatar box is huge and when a "?" is posted as the avatar, it takes up 2/3rds of the screen.

Is this something that the creator of the social group will need to fix or is this something Dev Tech will need to look at and fix?

Is anyone else noticing this or did I hit a funny button somewhere along the way I didn't see?

At first glance, it seems confusing, disorganized and ugly. I'll have to see if it grows on me.
The good news is, you can now Subscribe to the Group and/or "Discussions" so they will show up in your CP and make it easier for you to see if there is a new post.

The bad news is, the original list of posts is now consolidated into a single thread, so it'd have to be edited so the title makes more sense, instead of just being the name of the group. lol

I had a chance to subscribe and see the full tracking in my CP center. I do like that idea. Now we just need to have the avatar field fixed and clean up the origional post section so it's broken out a bit and I think it'll work out fine.

The down side is if I change the order that I view the social group posts, it applies it to the forum posts too. I, of course, have to be one of those who like things different depending on what I'm looking at. I like the history first on the forums, but I like the current post first on the social group. Now I can't have it both ways.

of course, you didn't lose all your forum posts. Rookery. was zeroed out with the change and our collaborative story was destroyed.

Wow.. I wonder why it would have been trashed like that. Is the member who created it still active?

On a side note, a funny thing is that my group's default "discussion" is now showing my OLD name (Mateo_06) as the creator, even though I changed it to Master-Blade. When clicking on the name, it still brings you to my current profile. Odd.
