I understand that there has been significant changes this weekend, leading to a ton of Error messages, as well as an entirely new set of Like and Thank features.
This thread is not intended as a complaint, but merely a way to discuss the changes, comment on any problems we see while using the forum, and make suggestions.
A couple of my thoughts:
This morning on my laptop, things do certainly seem to be running more smoothly than yesterday, but when I try to access SB forums from my phone (using Forum Runner) the page often fails to open. If I go back several steps and try again it seems to work. It does keep happening though.
While it seems fun (to some of us anyway) to see the return of the Thanks button, etc, I do not see the feature as having much use, the way it works at this time, as one has to open each and every notification if they wish to return to and review the individual post that has been Liked or Thanked. If there is a way to provide that info in the Notifications themselves it would be useful information to see quickly.
I do see that the location of the new feature buttons have been relocated into the individual's post, since yesterday, instead of being located in a separate box below the post. This does make for a lot cleaner look.
As always, change can come as a shock, but not all change is bad. Sometimes it is inevitable, sometimes welcomed, and sometimes resisted, almost always a struggle to face at first but in the end we will adapt. Already I have seen some of the early issues addressed and changed to work better.
