Question

NOT liking the new forum ... SO freaking slow and limited to get around in!

And the pop up to see if ‘these answer your questions’ is to me, rather insipid. To be as polite as I can.

 

The old form was vastly easier to navigate quickly to get work done, and get out. This is purely a slower, more complex visual mess to deal with.

    We got used to the previous board, but we went thru tribulations at the switch, and this new design makes those problems worse. 1st: The default sort order is newest first, which makes it much more likely someone is not going to read what others said previously. The 2nd is nested replies, we tried to get rid of them back at the switch, now here they are again. I think they were disabled on bug reports previously.

     

    Yes, we can change the sort order, but then we are not seeing how the newbie and most others will see it, so it just makes it more difficult to communicate. And of course, we didn’t learn from all those comments from last time. Poof, vanished…🔭🗣

    Its a nightmare. I cannot post any more. It keeps on saying “Something went wrong”. The layout is unintuitive. Typical Adobe, working hard to make life for creatives harder by the day.

    If you were a moderator, you would likely have a longer list of issues.

    I was a Mod here for many years ... until my ‘egregious’ behavior got me booted. Ah well. 

     

    And yea, I probably would. But then that list is just the beginning ...

    Is it just me or can I not easily sort by recent replies anymore?

    You can’t sort by latest reply, NOR does this forum have any indicator for the last post. Nor a good way to get your recent threads listed. Just ... bad.

    The prem beta forum is also now majority posts older than 2 months 😅 hopefully that’s just temporary

    It was announced that ALL forums were copied in November to convert to the new forum’s internal structure, so everything stated at 2 months ago… the messages between 2 months ago and this morning are supposed to be added ‘some time’ in the future

    strange choice not long after a big version change for prem but I guess it’s hard to avoid that across their entire range of products.
    I will say though the forum just asked me to login 3 times in a row before I could reply which is so great. 😑

    It logged me in faster than the last system, which was I thought painfully slow to log in and also required it way too often. This is my first login, so lets see if it remembers. (I like that spelling check is on…) :-)
