Zoomy Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Went on the site today on iPad and everything has changed. On my personal info section there is no longer a "my content" area. Cannot find a recent posts area on the forums page. Why the major changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm hoping it's still broken and they are trying to fix it. Almost unusable on iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge40 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Yeah I really don't like it either. I was afraid of all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind bat Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I hope I can get used to it but so far I'm not a fan. The previous site worked so well on mobile devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alecmc Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Hopefully they are reading this stuff and will change back to the old format. The new layout is horrible on the phone, way to spread out and difficult to navigate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I don't know if it's even possible to go back...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I've been trying to get used to the new format, no luck the old format was much better on a phone and computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new layout is horrible on the phone, way to spread out and difficult to navigate Hating on the new format will probably get the same results as hating on WO or PCC. Nada.

LeviSS Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Not having a mobile version makes browsing a major PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Its taking a bit of getting used to for sure. There is no "View New Content" like before, but there is "Unread Content" in the upper right corner. Actually, pretty neat part there is you can then filter the content by a number of things like personal posts, personallystarted topics, specific people, certain time frames like the past day, past week, etc. Functionally, there looks like there is much more here than the old format, just need to figure out where it all is. That is all from a desktop as I don't browse the forums all that much on my phone so I haven't looked for anything there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Also figured out there was a change when I got an email about a reported post. So there is that feature now too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I created a custom Activity Stream, see below that gives me a similar view to what was on the forums before. I saved that Custom Stream and then created a new bookmark for the site so that it loads that view whenever I click on the bookmark: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Im starting to navigate fairly well on my phone. Haven't really tried the computer yet. I still miss the old look but thats only cosmetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postal Bob Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 New format is horrible. Go back to the old. New does not necessarily mean better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The new format is certainly a shock, but if we all take a moment to explore it, we may find we appreciate the improvements. If you want to make this like your old experience, you can create your own 'Streams'. - Go to the unread content button at top right shown above. - Use the filters to refine the results as you want to show items you posted in, or created. Select if you want to see only unread or all content. - Then you can hit the button at the top right 'Save as new stream' and save it by whatever name you want. These streams will be accessible via the 'my activity streams' drop down under the activity tab at the top. - When you select one of your custom activity streams, you can set it as your default (button at top left/center) and it will replace the button at the top right that defaults to 'unread content'. I currently have it set as New Content, but you can also have it set to show your content or whatever you want. Good luck all, and give it a chance...

benos Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Thanks for the positive vibe EngineerEli. And in the FYI department, if we want to continue to have the forums, not upgrading is not an option. Once a version of the software is no longer supported by IP, the entire forums are risk of being hacked / destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
