New layout

Faye

Please tell me that everyone's page layout changed for the forums.

themage

yeah... not sure I'm liking it. But then, I am a little resistant to change sometimes.

BusyProperties

I closed it and "logged"  back in a few times before I realized it was just a change! It is definitely different!

I feel the same way. This will definitely take some getting use to.

I also logged out, thinking what did I just log into?

Yep - will take some getting used to.  It is a little easier to read I've noticed.

@BusyProperties and @Faye I did the same thing!    I agree with @i43storage. Easier to read, but will take some getting used to.

I  don't like it, to me it is harder to read.   It's busier and there is less contrast.

I did the same as you all lol. I only had an issue with how far down I had to scroll to see if there were any new posts, but we're able to dismiss the pinned topics so all good on my end

Hello! So funny story...I am not a developer and was on a call to discuss ways in which we could improve users' experiences on the StorageForum yesterday, and enabled the changes unknowingly! I wanted to formally give y'all a heads-up that changes would be coming, but I kinda blew that one! Since it's live now, I'd love to test it a bit and gather the community's feedback to make sure we enable things that will make your lives easier. Please accept my apologies for springing this on everyone without notice and I'll be starting a thread in the next few days to gather your feedback. In the meantime, please feel free to message your thoughts to me directly. Sincerely, Amy C.

Haha! Nice "mistake"! So far I'm liking it!

That's pretty funny, Amy.  Great mistake!  I'm looking forward to your thread for constructive feedback. @storable_support

I definitely freaked out at first! But am trying to embrace Bob Ross's motto

So..... how do I get the notifications to clear after I have read a comment?

Never mind I figured it out.

Nazpastortony

whew! Thought I was losing my mind...i'll try to give it a chance but change is hard, lol.  as lon as I can easily see whats new and get to them then its cool...

will be helpful if all the new posts/activities can be pushed to the top and highlighted as new.

That is a good suggestion.

Always have to ask the same question - What was broken that needed fixing!

me too.  It was perfectly fine.  I also don't like that when you click on a discussion it takes you to the new comment, so I have to roll up and read the first comment to know what we are talking about.

Yeah, I don't like that either. Sometimes I have to reread some of the comments to remember what was said, especially on older posts.

To put my 2 cents worth in, I actually really like that!  I hate having to scroll all the way down past what I've already read to get to what the new content is.

Faye

Maybe there should be an option to read oldest to newest or newest to oldest.

I agree. I just want to see what's new not re-read all of it.

That's a great idea.

Hello! I've officially posted the thread to gather feedback on the new layout here. I just wanted to close the loop from my comment above -- you don't have to repost your feedback! I've already saved and categorized it
