Boards theme update

TheMixTheMix Posts: 3,327 Boards Guru
Hi all, Following our recent update, we’ll be upgrading the theme of our discussion boards throughout the day to enable pre-moderation.

While this is happening, you may notice a few technical issues, but we'll be working with our platform providers to get everything running smoothly as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience!

    Does this mean we're going back to the layout we had a few weeks ago that had to be reversed because of technical issues?

    If so, have the issues actually been fixed, and will there be a user guide like I suggested?

    Most likely unfortunately.

    Hey folks, just to say we're aware that the text-box is no longer allowing you to create paragraphs / insert spacing. We're really sorry about this and are in touch with our developers to try and resolve.

    Please keep flagging any issues via the Help Desk thread! https://community.themix.org.uk/categories/help-desk

    We recognize there's been a lot of change to process lately, and hear how these additional changes are impacting your user-experience and the familiarity of this space too, which can feel hard.

    Thank you for your question, @independent_ !

    We've been working alongside the developers and shared the collated list of errors and questions with them that we gathered from you and our team in 2025 when we did the first round of changes, so they've been aware of the feedback and working to try and resolve those issues.

    I realise its super frustrating to still see glitches and errors though, so please do keep flagging these and we'll continue working on getting them ironed out.

    Is this going to be addressed or even acknowledged….. orrrr is it just going to be ignored in the hope I’ll forgot because trust me I won’t. Especially when it comes to accessibility ?? @TheMix

    Probably not. I raised a concern a week or two ago and it never even got acknowledged.

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a polite post that we are seeing all of your questions, and are working hard with the rest of the team to make sure we get you the right answers. This is taking some time, we do apologise massively about that! But we don't want to find ourselves sharing false information, hence our silence on this so far. We will get you the answers to all your questions when we have them! Thank you all for your patience through this.

    I understand that Callum I totally do and I don’t mean to sound like I’m being horrible when I post, However I do feel like that message was slightly passive aggressive considering I’m sure you understand from our end that when we raise a concern and it doesn’t even get acknowledged, it does feel like we’re being ignored.

    Now I know none of you would want to do intentionally, but I guess maybe for future reference even a reply just to acknowledge that you’ve seen it, without us feeling like we have to comment for that to happen.
