Question

FR a condensed view for the discussions list

  • November 29, 2019

In the pre-jive forum, we could see a long list of discussions in one page, the page headers seems smaller.

I think that Jive reduced it, and now, only ten discussions are listed per page, and we can only see three of them on screen. (the list of posts starts almost at one quarter of the screen)

 

I understand that the average person's attention span might be lower than before, but still, I think that many a user would appreciate to get an alternate condensed view where one could see 25 or even 50 threads titles, with an answered checkbox, the last poster name and time, number of answers, etc, similar to the get satisfaction management view : https://education.getsatisfaction.com/reference-guide/manage-workspace/

 

Getting bold threads for the unvisited ones would be a plus.

 

Thank you in advance!

The above was achieved with custom css, using a style injector extension in the browser.

Unvisited threads have black titles, visited have gray. There is unfortunately no way to have titles bolding for threads with new replies with css.

It also compacts the thread pages, changes the font to Adobe Clean (sans serif) and hides the badges on profile pages, plus a few other things. 

Feel free to use, and edit to taste.

Be aware that future updates to this site may cause unexpected results.

Amazingly, this does exist, but only for Tags... For example, here's the "condensed view" for the "Acrobat SDK and JavaScript" Tag:

Why this could not have been implemented for all forums is beyond me...

Agreed. If there's one thing I crave in these forums, it's a condensed view with unread posts in bold for speed and efficiency. It was a common request when we were asked, pre-launch, what we'd like to see in these new forums.

Have not yet seen any evidence that it will ever happen.
