I've been waiting for someone to say it. The new community forums have barely been up. I know change is hard, but at least try to get used to it and give it a chance.
you have to look at each category separately - and back and forth. I used to just be able to say new items since last logged on (or whatever the exact wording was) and it brought up everything from every category that was new.
You can choose to see a feed by Most Recent, Most Comments, ETC. If Show Me has been posted in a lot recently it will require clicking Load More too much, which is time consuming 😐
I use Most Recent for the feed and, if it is overrun by Show Me posts, I will use the dropdown or the forum choices on the creators page and open each forum I am interested in into a new tab.
And I just noticed in Settings we can change the amount of posts per page (default is 5). I changed it and now I just scroll instead of clicking Load More lol
I agree that this new forum requires a LOT of scrolling and clicking around to see new posts as opposed to the one glance system with the old forum. I'm wishing that there was some way to customize the new posts to only see posts from forums that interest me. At this point I either have to paw through a gazillion show me posts, or I have to look at each forum separately. I also wish that there was a way to retain the preferred order. I keep having to go to each forum and then click the reorder thing to see the newest posts. It's also confusing that the ordering dropdown is different on different forums. Some say newest, other say things like "hot ideas." I'm not sure I understand that.
Maybe I'm missing it but I thought there was a way to reply to a specific reply? In any case, @J32Design post just above this one, that's the page I have my bookmark set to. I prefer the sort of grid view, like displayed there.
Just had a thought/suggestion for Scott et al. Don't know if this is possible or not, but it would be really helpful if the dropdown shortcuts for the different forums could have a little number next to each one to indicate how many new posts/comments had been left since the last time you were there. It would save a LOT of clicking around looking for new info.
