Is there somewhere I can go to better understand how to use the revised forum?

As examples:

After I read a new post and do not have a reply, how do I get back to the list of new posts/topics?
I have a number showing up with my icon in the upper right corner. How do I clear that?
With the new UI, how do I add a numbered list?

@gullfo Rich, when can we start filling up the suggestion box? I only have two things.

Be gentle Gus. Its been a huge undertaking to get the old content into this newer system.

I'd love if users just poked around for a few days to see how it works and feels.

But if you see or experience a genuine system error or unusable feature let us know.

You can put them here as I subbed to this thread

Everything is working fine but the only changes I would like to see is a dark mode and larger text/font on the right side bar. It's too small for my vision. Larger font there would be more important than a dark mode. Although the stark white is kind of hard on the eyes too.

We'll look into a plugin to enable dark mode. The font sizing is Theme related but we'll look into it too.

Yes please. Thanks Rich.

Wher is the clock icon?

Where is the Bell?

OK, this one I figured out.

I am sure I will figure things out but I am strggeling a little with the new forum and finding that it really fills up my history log a lot.

@gullfo said in NEW Forum Software Issues:

part way scrolling through a list of posts suddenly there is some refresh looping causing the entire page from the advert on down to jump back and forth (up and down really) making things unusable.

We have set pagination on to prevent this. You can change this setting at your personal settings.

@rv1974 All I ask is time and patience while we dial stuff in. Imagine its your brand new home and you get to paint it and decorate it. But first we need the utilities to work.

rv1974

@Rich-O-Brien no problemo, is it in plans at least?

Rich O Brien

@rv1974 yes, but right now we are resolving logging issues for those impacted.

I understand your not digging the visuals. Its on our todo list

@Box
I am not seeing these 2 icons. Is it a iPad issue (which is where I look at the forums most of the tone)?

Rich O Brien

@ntxdave

Have you tried pressing your avatar to expose more options?

There's lots of new toys to play with so take your time and explore the interface. There's no documentation to follow as its forum software. You will gradually find things.

It is also highly customisable so a menu position for one user maybe located differently to another. That is why its important you poke around. Not to find a problem but to just explore it.

I know its a major shift but take the time and explore the UI. Its the best way to learn.

Yes, I did not see other options. Either I am just missing something or maybe it is something related to my iPad. I just see a number on my avatar. I cannot do a screen capture to show you what I see/don’t see.

I have not seen options for customizing the menu unless you are talking about the list of things on the settings page.
Again, I would like to point out that I do not see the things @Box pointed out before. I have seen some things if I click to have a side panel show up on my iPad.
