Sub Menu variations - using iOS devices

[Belgareth Kiarc]

Only just noticed today that the sub menus under 'Forum' seem to be changing regularly. Both the menu names and the items found within the drop downs. Are these being tinkered with at the moment? Otherwise there's a gremlin somewhere. Had this happen on both iPhone and iPad. Not checked on laptop yet.

Thanks Erin! I need to get used to it fast, keep opening chat by accident when trying to go to subscribed threads! I'm old, I do not deal with change well!

i don't like it. i don't like it one bit.

 

[Erin al'Denael]

What parts don't you like?

 

[Miliham Rastoubel]

things moving around

 

[Erin al'Denael]

Well, it should stay mostly the same for a good while to come.

It was one of those things where I'd get asked to add a link here or there, and eventually it was this cobbled together thing of nasty. Said nasty has been expunged. Carry on in the light, etc.

 

[Miliham Rastoubel]

I know exactly what it was, and i admit its better organized now, but its different

 

[Erin al'Denael]

Bah humbug. :P

 

[Miliham Rastoubel]

i guess i probably shouldn't be teasing the director of technology...

>.< I had just gotten used to the placement! :P
I really did like the ability to click once to find new posts, and not have to click to a sub-menu

Thanks for the link to what's what, Erin.

Could we potentially get Settings, PM's and Edit Profile moved down a bit? They're already on the top right of my screen and I personally would like Subscribed Threads or New Posts at the beginning of the dropmenu

 

[Erin al'Denael]

Seven links there is a bit much IMO. But I can't think of a good name to differentiate menus if those 7 forum actions are split into generic/personal. Help a gal out.

But for now...better?

I'd like to have the Private Messages directly accessible again - it would be nice to have at least that back.

 

[Miliham Rastoubel]

i wonder how hard it would be to write customizable ui elements, and how much space would be required to store that.

You can always just directly click the Notifications in the upper right, Lenore. I understand that there's a second click there (because it tells you what notifications you have before going to see if it's a PM or a VM or something else).

I'm going to try and not move anything around for a bit to let people adjust, but I will keep your suggestion in mind for future tweaks.

Clicking more is really oldfashioned.
