    Increase character limits to posts please. Limiting them is silly.

    @Jason Stone (Logos) is there a setting that can be changed to force links we click to open in a new tab? If not, can it be set up on the server side settings? It would be nice to be able to keep the tab I am viewing a post in the Forums active and any link I click opening in its own tab.

    Thanks a bunch for your feedback! We’ve bumped up the limit from 8,000 to 12,000.

    Thank you, this is a big improvement.

    I understand a minimum limit, but a maximum limit not as much. On a feed it makes sense, it prevents users from posting something that takes forever to scroll through, but in a forum that's not as much of an issue.

    Using https://community.logos.com/discussions?followed=true&sort=-dateLastComment to read up on the new forum posts, there are some threads in that list where the title is not shown in bold, even though they contain new posts that I have not seen. They seem in the correct order though and there are other threads below that , which correctly show bolded thread titles.

    We have decided that the focus of our community is that of public dialogue for the safety and support of all users, and have opted out of private message.

    I can see the search function for the forums, but is there an option to search the feedback posts/ideas?

    Great question, @Mal Walker. While on the Advanced Search page, select "Discussion" to be presented with an array of filtering options—including that of "Ideas."

    Surprisingly this change to a new forum seems to largely have transitioned more smoothly than I expected. Sure there are issues but there has been, surprisingly, not as much hysteria as my spider senses foreshadowed.

    I agree. I think the move from Usenet newsgroups in 2009 was much harder. There was no data to move over, it was just a big adjustment. They were not pretty, but they sure were efficient.

    Here is a convincing argument as to why I found the overview of the old forum better:

    It is actually completely unnecessary to mention "Started by username" as well, since the creator's logo is on the left and, if you move the mouse pointer over the logo, the same username also appears as a popup.

    The old forum's layout (see example below) should simply be reinstated.

    Everyone is already used to it and can continue like this or something similar!

    It would be very helpful instead of read this : to prepare it just like the way MP Seminar does.

    No matter what sorting option I choose in the new forums, I can't seem to get all the unread posts to appear at the top. I would think sorting by comment would do this, but it doesn't. This means I have to go through pages of read posts to find one unread 'new' tagged post. Am I missing an option to accomplish having all the 'new' tagged posts listed first?

    The "Forums" page is improving looks and navigation wise with the latest update that I just noticed. @Jason Stone (Logos)

    Having the posts sorted by "New Comments" will bump the newest posts and comments to the top of your discussion list feed.

    Jason, first of all I want to understand me that I am not complaining. Definitly many improvement have been done, but why don't you please prepare a video that it may be easy to follow? Please I beg you to take some time to prepare video to be able to use it as it is intended .

    Blessings in Christ.

    @Tes, others have mentioned that and I have committed to creating a short video. I hope to publish that this week. Thank you!

    As I've been trying to read all posts in English excluding Proclaim and how Logos should run its business threads, I've been using the notifications bell that seems to work quite well except that when it tells me something like 3 new comments in thread X and takes me to thread X, my location seems random i.e. I've already read that post. I can't figure out how to find the 3 new comments. What am I missing?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Same here, when I click on notification under the bell sometimes I find myself in the middle page of 24 pages of posts, sometimes at the top of the last page of posts and sometimes at the very start. Once in a while I find myself at the latest post.

    @Jason Stone (Logos) Is there some logic to this that we are missing?

    My experience seems to be a little more consistent. In short threads (say up to five pages), the new forum positions me around the first new comment, which I really like (typically I go back a post or so to get the context, if there's no quote and answer in that new post). The issue is long threads - where I find myself consistently at the top of an early page of the respective thread ("A qustion from an Accordance user" always page 3, "FEEDBACK WANTED New Resource Toolbar" always page 5). This is annoying, will hopefully be fixed soon, but something I can adapt to for the time being.

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    I too seem to have random "early" position in Threads or at the Latest. There are some longer threads that I am brought to the current and some early in the thread….

    This is my experience exactly. I thought I was going crazy! Well maybe I am, but not about that at least!

    The community has suggested that a brief video may be beneficial in providing an overview of the platform. In response, I have created a video demonstration of fundamental navigation, introduction of the primary post types (i.e. Discussion, Idea, Poll, Question), and practical search tips. More questions will follow and we will continue to communicate best practices as our new community space is improved. Thank you for being here, doing so makes this helpful and growing community what it is.

    Please email community@logos.com with further questions or feedback.

    I would have created a new thread titled "Old forum and polls vs new ones", but -

    Where shall I post a comment like the following in the new forum?

    Old forum and polls vs new ones

    With the old version of forum and polls you needed some clicks more in order to create a poll for a certain wanted feature or book in Logos.With the new forum, creation of a poll seems easier. But -

    if I don't keep up with reading all the "Recent posts", how do I become aware if a certain book has already its own poll?
