    I want a Forum were I can point out typos and ask Logos to correct faults in the texts. I've spent more than 600 dolares on Logos books and want to complain whenever I see something wrong. I know Logos can correct and update texts.

    This can be done within the app on Desktop and Android, but not on iOS or the web app.

    Ok, many thanks. I'll try it on Iphone.

    This morning I'm looking at the forum site and I can hardly see the posts for all the loudness in the footers, and lines and boxes and plusses and minuses and indents and busyness, etc etc. I personally don't find this an improvement, sorry.

    Tapping the topic link no longer takes me to my 'last read' post. Yes, I see the sort button, but that's not the same. We can no longer see how many posts a person has made.

    RJ … you don't deal well with walking backwards.

    I wrote out a (hopefully) complementary post to MJ, hit the blue Post Comment and it was gone! Whoosh.

    So I wrote another post, didn't hit the Post Comment, just cleared the browser, and now it wants to stay. Well, ok!

    I agree the forum is becoming a menagerie of 'stuff' .. trying to do something with the white space.

    I do prefer the way threaded replies are handled this time. And I like that I can choose to sort by newest.

    I think the outline for the reactions should turn white along with the number count after a reaction has been clicked. As it is, reactions are barely visible once clicked.

    Also, I see use cases for sorting by oldest, newest, and top. But why trending?

    I don't get it … the updates. I don't even know where to start, they're so nutty. The poster's add-on text is the same font-size as the post itself … like you just keep reading.

    I get the feeling the goal is to kind of wind-down the forum, and finish it off.

    You mean the user's Signature should have a smaller font? I agree.

    I agree (and I also wanted to respond since I was curious what it would look like if I did with this new layout).

    Also, I think the "like" and "agree" are backwards. It seems that the heart should be like, and then the agree is the plus, I guess. It's just clear that like and heart go together, and that is how it was before the update, if I remember right. (I admit I never studied the forum icons much, so I might be wrong.)

    I was working on that yesterday, but could not get it solved before the end of the day! That's a priority to tackle. I'm looking forward to getting the signatures back to what we're used to seeing.

    @Kristin, great catch! The files were mislabeled. That should be resolved now.

    Is the LOL a coffee cup? Overflowing toilet bowl? If so, I like that.

    I was going to comment on the Humvee image icon in Logos, but now I can't find it. Maybe it changed to something else. Or maybe it's buried in the discovery menu system. Well, anyway, the coffee cup/overflowing toilet bowl is a nice LOL.

    The insightful eyeball on the other hand—I would avoid clicking that. Looks like the Illuminati.

    I think I have said before, how much I hate threaded replies… ;-)

    I also don't like only seeing the accepted answer only initially in some threads…

  • NB.Mick

    I think the problem with threaded replies in this forum (which is much worse than other forums) is that the "child posts" are nested within the respective "parent post". It makes it nearly impossible to see what is new in a thread, which things are discussed etc.

    The forum now is most often unable to show the new content within a thread, but also is unable to show which threads are new and which I have already read completely.

    This was a bad change.

    I can't see the number that indicates the number of posts members of the community has contributed. Is this coming back? I found it helpful for several reasons.

    RJ Member Posts: 178 ✭✭✭

    YesYes, iI mentionedmentioned thethe missmissing numbernumber ofof posts

    Sigh.

    Yes, I mentioned the missing number of posts per member yesterday. Also, today, refreshing the Android browser page no longer shows posts I've read. They remain bold, and the number of new posts remains the same as well. I can't see what's new or where the actual post is in the maelstrom of 'information' on each page. I'm no longer taken to the last read post, and have to jump through hoops with each clicked topic to see what is new now. Whatever happened to the KISS principle, or CAS, I wonder.

    The old community seemed more user friendly to me. I do recognize that this is a better platform. One of the things I loved from the old community was it was easy to find topics, what is trending, and I used to follow people's activities (e.g., MJ etc. ). Now it's harder to see how many topics are active and who is commenting on them and what important issues I should pay attention to. I mean the topic on "dumb down" version is lumped in with the "ai summaries." For someone who spends 20 minutes on the forum a week, I wouldn't know what I should focus my attention on to ensure I am up to date with Logos community.

    I'd still like to see 'Mark All Read'.

    Absolutely, we need the option to mark all read!

    Hey @Joseph Sollenberger and everyone, I am sure I am missing something obvious, but don't we already have the ability to mark all as read? Up by the notification bell if I click on it, the last option on the bottom right is to Mark All Read. So I am sure I am misunderstanding something obvious about what everyone is talking about.

  • DMB
    DMB Member Posts: 14,654 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'm missing something obvious too … no notification bell. That I can see.

    Hi @DMB, I just meant the bell at the top right of this page. I will post a screenshot of what I meant just to be clear.

    Yes, but no bell there between search and user icons. But ok with me.

    That marks the notifications read, not the posts! I don't use or see the bell.

    The bell hides when you're on mobile, it needs a wide space to appear such as a 24inch size screen. It is somewhat territorial.

    When it hides, you can click on your profile pic, then a wide bar appear & you'll see the bell.. Like I said, territorial. lol

  • RJ
    RJ Member Posts: 178 ✭✭✭

    I don't see the bell because I've disabled those notifications, because they make me crazy. Wherever the bell is or is not, 'Mark All Read' doesn't mark posts read, which is what I'd still like to see in the forums.

    Well, since I'm mobile, I guess I'm unbell-ified.

    "unbell-ified"😂

    you can tap on the user profile icon too on mobile, it'll come out of hiding
