96RAF Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Same platform provider - Invision, hence the lookalike in places. I don't like the tick list method, better the way RM Web has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbo2 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The tick list, first impression it seems overwhelming and not intuitive, no doubt with get used to it 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I’ve worked out that clicking on the newspaper symbol top right(ish), and then clicking on the Activity button top left takes me to a list of recent forum activity that will do me for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I’m very much liking the ‘jump to latest unread message’ default view - rather than having to manually navigate from end/beginning of threads. Great feature! 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Are all posts that contain a quote held for moderation? Or just first (on new system) / until you you get a good enough reputation / something else entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 ok, so taken a bit of time to understand it. whether i like it, jury still out. All that matters to me, is that i am able to find my way around. Well done to Hornby, for preserving previous forum postings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britannia Builder Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I think this new platform is a huge improvement, so congratulations to those responsible. I particularly like the ability to see all recently updated threads across all subforums with an indication of threads with unread posts, and to jump straight to unread posts at the end of the thread. A minor irritation is the number of pinned posts occupying the first page and a half of the recent posts display. I've partially bypassed this by bookmarking page 2 of the display, ie a url of https://community.hornbyhobbies.com/forum/3-hornby/page/2/, but perhaps some of these sticky threads could be combined? Or is there a way to show just threads with recent activity, ignoring pinned ones? Another minor suggestion is to add a 'favicon' so that the Hornby logo appears on the browser's bookmark bar, as it used to with the old forum.

Britannia Builder Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Thanks Rob, I did try the Activity/Unread, but I couldn't see a way of avoiding the cars and ships from the other forums. Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Being a rather tidy person, but not to OCD extent, I don’t like the order of the forums in the list. Beyond DG and DCC, there is no logic to it. I prefer in order of most use, hence liking DG and DCC. Then what on earth is the second and empty General Discussion forum near the bottom of the list?

That was a dev team attempt to split a topic and/or create a new section. It has been flagged for deletion - awaiting a result. Ditto our request to leave the sections in the same order as before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
