this layout is hurting my brain. ( i like it though! im only jk abt the hurting my brain jk) 😂
We seem to have the new text box now that i said had lots of issues, so we shall see
Hmm seems the same as when we all tested it
Edited to add, with the same accessibility issues as when we tested it aswell
I have to say I think the previous layout was a lot easier to navigate (or maybe I'm just easily confused lol) but I'm sure I'll get used to the new one before long.
keeps glitching for me. doing my head in when i try to reply to ppl and it keeps glitching.
Ye it was ok at first. The heading with the quick links below the reply box has also disappeared. I used that all the time
i prefer the original layout. this is to complicated.
Ok one issue has been fixed in that i can now press the buttons and they actually bring up the menus, which they didn’t before. But the commands it reads out to me when i click the text box (CTRL + shift + P for paragraph menu, etc) still don’t seem to be working, though i will test this more. I have no idea what I’m doing here what buttons do i even need to press for what
I've only just logged in and I'm getting used to the woke new design myself. While I appreciate the new upgrades I didn't really have an issue with the older style page which I felt looked much more nicer. I dont know because for me it feels now a bit too clinical, i dont know if anyone gets that feeling too?
In all fairness, I don’t mind most of it, there are elements which (coming from an accessibility point of view) are better. But I still feel if the new text box in particular is permanent and it was known before hand this was coming, it really should have been stated in the post. I say that as someone who also didn’t mind the old style page. It’s very like some newer forums I use (I can think of an example, I won’t name it here but theirs looks similar, just with the old text box).
Edit: actually, i was wrong with my example - they are using the new text box. It’s the kind of place where i could actually ask about the best way to use it with a screen reader so good discovery lol
The new layout will take some adjusting too. I think it's alright.
I’d only just got used to the previous change. Might make a good time to leave
Is it just me or has the flag button disappeared from under posts as well?
So the flag button and quick links have gone.
@AnonymousToe up to you if you leave, myself and everyone would really miss you if you did leave you're an amazing member here. It is harder to use but we will get used to it.
Same here, I do feel like the old design felt more inviting, and was easier to navigate as well.
every time i try make a reply it keeps glitching. but i rly dislike the new update. its just not working for me at all. i prefer the other version.
oooo this is definitely a change i wasn't expecting. lets hope my brain can get used to it again in the coming days/weeks 😊
If I can figure out what to do with the text box I honestly think I’ll get used to it eventually. It’s so strange rn bc I’m not used to it being like this
The old design was a lot more simple to use in my opinion. I understand changing to improve accessibility, but adding more complexity to it somewhat does the opposite. The text box's are way too different than they needed to be, the react icons are also a fair downgrade, and i'm not personally a fan of this layout at all. Maybe it's worth having multiple layout options for users to individually pick from, like legacy versions, so each person can choose what works best for them?
So more questions
Why is there a share button and a copy button next to every comment, is that meant to be there?
How do I do emojis?
What do the points mean? If you click on members it’s got like a leaderboard thing at the bottom with points what are these for and how do I get them? Assuming they’re not guideline points?
When I try to react to posts people have made sometimes it says 'discussion not found' and doesn't let me react to it - I'm not sure if that's related to the new update but just thought I'd mention it anyway.
