I just came off a 4-hour straight teaching binge. Before the binge, the hamburger menu showed what it had always shown (number of new threads, number of unread threads, number of messages, and a couple of other things. Now it’s showing two categories: Community and Messages. And the choices underneath those two categories are not all that helpful.
What happened? Better question: how do I get it back to the old useful way?
It happened to me too a short time ago. I came here to start a thread about it.
Dunno, I was wondering the same.
Me too. Whatever’s happened, happened in the last 10 minutes, because I used it before that.
It’s pretty irritating.
Just looked.
Want my old hamburger back. Or at least the chance to customize.
The whole apperance of the site has been reformatted in an incredibly horrible, ugly way.
This is what the posts lists look like to me on my phone now, some gigantic font showing fewer than three full posts per page.
Rotate your phone to landscape view. Does that change the display much?
Now there are more choices underneath Community on the hamburger menu. Still not all that helpful. Seriously, Discourse design crew: the idea behind testing is to test it before you present it to the users.
Yes, that way I can see all of three posts per page. I will not be using my phone in landscape mode. These changes are site-killing level for me.
And now the font size has changed (with no adjustments on my part) to show six posts per screen.
There you go … was thinking it was just context sensitive mod to tick off us non-merkin dopers for their history of posting non-patriotic things.
So we’re all in the same bucket of merde. Misery loves company.
The reply screen has switched back to normal from split-screen, too. That just does not work on a phone (in portrait).
It does that until you hide the keyboard, then it goes back to split-screen until you start typing again. But I use that to “peek” at the thread when necessary. I hide the keyboard with the “Done” button.
Go to preferences > sidebar and you can.
(Can’t do anything to Community . . . yet.)
ETA, and now you can add a section for Tags you’re interested in.
Thanks. That allowed me to fix it… for me.
Argh! What a thing to wake up to. Talk about really annoying petty nuisances.
There is no longer a menu items for tags among other things.
Thanks!
The only change I’ve noticed is that the hamburger menu is broken. (Well, technically it’s still doing something, just not something i have any interest in.) But the appearance is the same for me.
I’m navigating by clicking the logo. (The bar that says “the straight dope message board”).
I don’t use the hamburger menu enough to notice it being different, but the other one, the one with my profile picture (just the default letter J in my case), that shows threads I’m following is acting different. Now, after viewing a thread, instead of it remaining in that list, it disappears and everything slides up.
If nothing else, it’s going to quickly be populated with a list of threads I was following but haven’t kept up with.
I’m not sure if that’s worth creating it’s own thread about or if it’s part of this problem.
