The display change
Why did y'all eliminate the branching conversation format in the forums? Logged in today only to find it's gone now & all the comments are in a simple sequence instead. I can't find my place in a convo anymore.
@slowdecline48 yeah this is messed up
@slowdecline48 What did they do? Everything is all screwed up?! I see Pines name but no message?
@Heather225
@slowdecline48 Thanks for this post. This change seriously messed up. Forum convos all make no sense right now with whatever just happened. Plus it happened without any prior information, at least as far as I know.
@exuberantBlackberry9105 "without prior information" indeed. You're welcome, yeah...after logging in & getting discombobulated by the sudden format change, I had to say something about it. So I decided to say it here. Also mentioned it in one other thread, after I got the notification for the latter. Figured there was less chance of anyone important missing my message that way.
@slowdecline48 Thanks for speaking up, honestly. They seem to have made some changes, so it's a tiny bit better now, though I feel, not as good as it used to be...
I sent a ticket to support desk yesterday. It is still messed up today.
@slowdecline48It's all gone a bit wierd today. I see so many 7 Cups pfp's too, and some from people that haven't been active for years? It makes them look official!
@CheeryMango @Tommy @AffyAvo @Heather225
Yes!!!!!!
I agree
I don’t know what’s happening or why they did it it looks so weird and now some posts you can’t see at all idk it feels kind of unfair ):
@iloveyouxx *nod* 😞
@LoveMyMoonflowers @iloveyouxx Hi. I'm glad the two of you showed up & responded. The more of us doing so, the better. Teens & younger folk are welcome to chime in.
@slowdecline48 Hey, I think you're right that the more of us that say something, the better. And if you'd like us teens to join in, I'm happy to, because I think this issue is affecting and confusing people of all ages, including teens.
Hey, everyone. I hear your frustration and want to reassure you we're actively working on a solution. Thank you for hanging in there and for your patience with us as we get things back to running smoothly ASAP ✨
@Heather225
Someone must pose the necessary quiery: why was the comment thread format changed to begin with?
The old format worked fine as far as I could tell. It never gave me any difficulty & I could find my place in a convo every time I returned to it. From what I saw, the vast majority of members could use it competently...thus the above question. It would be nice to know the reason for all this.
My guess was that it's a back-end thing. Are changes necessary because of more members joining & the platform has to be scaled up? Is it a database issue of some kind, or...?
@slowdecline48
I like the previous reply format in forum \('-')/ in which we can automatically see the previous replies, and then when we click the notification of us bring mentioned, it will take us directly to the post, instead of taking us to the main thread. Then we need to manually scroll to see the exact post.
The previous replies format & structure in the forum was ok, why it has to be changed? ~('-' )~ 😭
@slowdecline48 I think that's the question on everyone's mind. The previous format worked out fine, I and many others liked it so much better, why'd it have to be changed? That too without telling us beforehand and without any explanation?
Even now that so many people are upset about this change, we don't have any real explanation as to why all this happened. And most people say they liked the previous format, so why the sudden change? What really happened?
Thank you for posing this question, @slowdecline48. I hope we get an explanation soon. I'm here waiting for it. I'm a very curious being and hungry for answers. I'm trying to be patient, I really want to know.
@Heather225 Thanks Heather
@Heather225
Thank you !
@Heather225 thank you H.
@Heather225 Good to know you are aware of the issue 👍
I would like to report that notifications about answers in threads stopped working, too 😕
@jacek73 What? 😕 Really? I'm still getting notifications, as far as I can tell...Jesus on toast. 🤦🏼♂️
@slowdecline48 Thanks for your message. Yes. Seems to be OK right now, though within previous 48 hours I've had some answer notifications missing (I had to check the threads I was in manually).
Thank you! Hang in there. We’ll have this all fixed up as soon as possible.
I just learned something. Posts that look blank aren’t. You just have to click on the post and then you’ll see the text.
@PineTreeTree
😮 Wow, didn't realize that--thanks for pointing that out
@PineTreeTree oh you're totally right! thank you for this discoverment ✨
OMG thank you!
@Mel discoverment 😂
@PineTreeTree Either you see the message, or you see a member's profile - from my experience 😳
@jacek73 click more on the white space…I’ve made the mistake of clicking the user name and getting the profile too
@PineTreeTree Yeah, clicking on the white space works now. It didn't work before they fixed the permanent minimising issue - it was impossible to see the post no matter where you clicked. Luckily they fixed that and we can now manually expand minimised posts by clicking on the white space hehe.
@exuberantBlackberry9105 At least we don’t have to spin around three times and stand on our head and chant the name of an ordinary flower while breathing through our nose and facing east just to read the darn text. With the potential for endless improvements comes even greater complexity. The software that once served us becomes our hurdle. Humans have learned how to build wonderful things but they haven’t learned how to quit tinkering. (*runs into the void while screaming*) 😂
@PineTreeTree Haha I like how you say it!
@slowdecline48 Thanks Slow 😃
@PineTreeTree That was true until today...but I appreciate the effort, Pine.
@slowdecline48
I like that they put a little arrow! makes it easier !
