Thank you, Jason!

"The latter is the case with our forums."
Well, yes and no. For example on Forums > English > List of posts, the iPhone matches the Mac, except no quick links anywhere (but neither having adverts). If instead, I go community/logos.com/discussions > list of posts, the iPhone matches the Mac, except no quick links anywhere (but yes, an advert). Indeed to get the latter quick link on my iPhone, I emailed it from my Mac.

I set notification and get much like you describe - not perfect but you may find it better,

@Jason Stone (Logos) I've mentioned my concern in different ways in this forum and so far without a response. Probably because I didn't offer any thoughts for alternatives. If I knew of any I would offer. For the time being I've stopped following the English forum because of getting hundreds of redundant* and irrelevant* notices. Maybe if I explain how I use the forums it would help or maybe you or someone could explain something I'm missing or don't understand that will get me going again.
*Redundant= a separate notice from each poster on the same subject
*Irrelevant= irrelevant to me-not a topic/subject/group I would have followed in the old forum that is now part of the all in one English forum.
I'm thinking there are at least two ways people use this forum.
One, probably the most common, is to actually come to the forums, search, read and post, using whatever device you prefer.
Two, my method and probably less popular, is to select categories and sub-groups if they were available in the forum to follow and have notifications sent to my email where I read them. If I then decide to post, or respond to a post only then will I go online to the forum, I don't go to the forums searching for or reading posts there. I don't have the time nor do I want to spend time doing that.
This is why I would like to see better grouping or consolidating of email notices.
A few things I think would be helpful
- If posts/comments by different posters on the same topic could be consolidated into fewer notifications by subject instead of by individual. I have my mail sorted by subject but still get every individual. Right now I get a separate notice from every poster who comments on the same subject or topic. I don't mind the separate comments just not all the separate notices I have to open.
- I would like to see the "tag" or "group" BUG either moved out of English Forum bucket or somehow be able to follow and receive notices about these posts without having to receive hundreds of general English Forum posts. Bugs should be as easy to find as announcements.
- Will there ever be a possibility to follow or unfollow a member?
- I also don't receive my own comments or post notices in email and I have both notify me of new posts and new comment checked under categories in my preferences. What am I missing?
Too soon old. Too late smart.

Was I imagining that the posts had a light blue background behind them? The post background is back to white

Thank you, @Frank Sauer — that's strange! We're on it.

And this post did not show up in my post history so I had to search for it manually… some kind of bug there I think.

The posts having a background and border is an improvement which helps a lot I think.

Thanks @Jason Stone (Logos) - I have the blue tint background on the posts back on both web and mobile this morning.

Hello Jason,
If I click in the email on the blue button, I land somewhere in the forum. At page 3 or 5, but not where the post are.

Here are a few suggestions after using the new forums for a few weeks:
- I miss the ability to preview my post, before I submit it. This was particularly useful if I have embedded a graphic.
- I also would like the ability to use the "quote" feature and then edit the quote so it only includes the relevant portion.
- Another thing I would like to see is threaded responses, where I could respond to a particular user's comment and read additional discussion about this user's comment. If this is implemented, there should be the option to have a "flat" view of posts, which is the current display, or a "threaded" view, where responses to a specific post would be indented under the post.'
- I would the editor to allow bullet points and indented paragraphs.
- Some editing features, like boldface and italics, are available, but hidden. The old editor had more obvious commands, although some did not actually work (like indenting paragraphs).

I'm glad that we were able to jump on that fix so quickly. Thank you for flagging that issue for us, Frank!

I getting mixed up. I just got back from Harry's thread … it's all white … no blue blocks. But over here, there's blue blocks.
OK: I figured it out. When you comment and save the comment, it's white. But if you go back and re-load, it's blue/box. I assume the blue-ing code is on the page load.
OK: Not quite. I give up.
