I don't know what's up, but I like it. Improves on the old. I've been a bit crabby about the new … until now.

    If you don't mind my asking, what specific improvements are the target of your praise?

    Also, I don't know if intensional, but the Apple watch display (never logged in) is a good idea (user images not displayed, etc).

    Hi, DMB: Your screen shot is new. My screen is the same one of past days. Ex: you have 2 pictures at started/recent for 'Compliments…'. I have DMB + DMB.

    I'd like to move up to suave.

    I think much better than the old (last year and earlier). Easier to see and more efficient.

    Interesting, but I'm still seeing the old pages.

    Maybe testing. I normally input into the forum every 5 minutes. I'll input every 3 minutes to endorse the new look. Joking.

    I do like it, after the last couple months.

    Is this in Beta? I don't see this new layout but I definitely like it :-)

    He's looking at the pages within your profile, when looking at either your posts or posts you have participated in.

    Not sure who 'he' is … my link: https://community.logos.com/discussions and the highlighted right-side link: 'All Recent Posts'

    Anyway I'm pleased … showed up today.

    Sorry, @DMB , I cannot tell much about you from the small profile picture and the private profile. I meant no offense.

    Whenever I see the initials, DMB, I automatically think of Dave Matthews Band and tunes play in my head.

    But, I really do like that view and looking at just the posts I've interacted with.

    Nothing like that on Android tablet. There's nothing to the right. That's it.

    Can't see who's posted last, or the side bar, but thankfully some of the excessive white space has gone.

    Edit: there is a no more date or time now, either. Changing between desktop view and mobile view changes nothing except for typing in the comments.

    @RJ, this is the result of your browser size. It is responsive and resizing and simplifying your experience.

    This is the intended view for the desktop. You would need to enlarge your browser a bit to see it.

    Let me add my kudos to the recent forum updates. “All Recent Posts” is my go-to and seeing it in a more space efficient table format is a welcome breath of fresh air. Thanks to you and your team for listening!

    This is sooo much better!

    Can we have a view like this but just the sub-forums we're following i.e. skipping other languages' postings, skipping Proclaim, just English forum, beta forums, and for me, Chinese forum?

    Another improved feature that I just noticed is that after reading a post and back-paging to the forum list, an automatic refresh happens showing the just-visited post as read (I.e. unbolded). Love it!!!!

    I found it!

    Under the page numbers (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 … 100), View: All or Following

    One can even bookmark that Following view! This is returning to (and improving over) the convenience and visual efficiency of the old forums! Thanks Jason and team!

    I guess we're down to 30 posts per page again. I feel like an experimental mouse … cheese here, cheese there.

    The "table view" does have a few limitations that we're working on, such as displaying tags and displaying a longer list of posts beyond 30. I'm going to continue to push for and drive improvements!

    Well, that didn't last long. Took the cheese away. I get the feeling the forum is sort of a game, watching the mice.

    Simply that the table view has been reverted on the “All Recent Posts” page. We are working on continual improvements, and will press on to implement a view that works for all.

    What? Why did you revert it? It was the first time I found the new forum usable and bookmarked that view but now you took it away again… disappointing!

    Whoo hoo! It's back.

    I was about to make some sort of bad-humor comment about robots now doing posts. On my iPhone, there's no hint who started or who last commented on a thread. Silly robots, again. That's when I discovered nirvana had returned to Logosia on the Mac.
