we have considered that, but why not just use "Back to top" on bottom left of each post?


I've been here for almost 10 years ( ) and I don't think I've ever used that button.

Apologize for not reading (in meeting), but can you define how the "trending" works and the difference between active and recent? Can you sort by upvote/downvote difference?



It's basically a calculation of 'velocity' of a thread.

either way, we need an option to exit the thread back to the forums
It is just one extra click on "back to top" I agree that the site doesnt need to feel like an excel spreadsheet

I like it but the My Forums menu should expand on hover.

Per board or in total? Haven't really been able to check it out. How is the velocity calculated?

i like the "recent topics" link

I just noticed some guy started a thread on the Travel Board and the Food and Drink Board that I'm interested in, I rarely venture over there so would usually just miss those threads


this format will open all of those boards to more traffic through the "recent" topics link, but still allow people to focus on just their favorite boards if they want

Leave forum links on the left, if you're 20 posts deep on a thread, with some lengthy posts, you need to scroll all the way back to the top just to switch to a new board...not user friendly at all

ETA; a lot of us use desktop layout while on mobile and having to hoover or click to expand board links is clunky

If I remove a board from My Forums, will it's topics still show up under Trending?

Agreed there needs to be a better way to exit threads.

Maybe add a "return to board" link next to the aforementioned "back to top"

or keeping the TopNav hovering while you scroll

Changing the "sequence" of the display order does not seem to work. I drag and drop the order I want them listed in, but the order does not update.

I like it. Maybe make the purple on the right side white with a light gray divider, center the news stories at the bottom and increase the margin on the left slightly, especially on the reply form.

Or just leave it alone all together

At some point you're overthinking it

so how did you do this before? Forum links were always near the top of the page.
