Welcome to the new diyAudio platform - feedback wanted!

It's a site setting, and here for desktop it seems your browser window needs to be 1200+ pixels wide for the right columns to show. Mobile likely won't show (doesn't on iPhone). Tablet may show, may depend on orientation.

@Pano for most XF sites the threshold is 650 pixels wide, which is much more user friendly.
 
Not a bug per se, but I would like to see who created the most recent post in a thread, as opposed to the name of the thread starter.
I have seen that in places as well, and yes it needs to be fixed.

This is part of an overall vibe where what diyAudio is interested in is the last post in a thread, but the software and design is pulling us towards a paradigm where the first post is most important. We have big long technical threads where the first post is not that important, the discussion that ensues is what is important.

As time goes on, we'll be able to steer the software towards what is important for our community and our unique way of doing things.

It would be great if it was possible to have a link to the new posts in the user menu. Then I can get all forums read in two clicks. Going through the news feed takes two extra clicks. That is on desktop. On mobile, I just use the menu - find content - new - that is just fine.

@rabbitz - it is on the New Posts page - which is a bit difficult for me to find as described above.
Should be one click in the 2nd level nav at the top of every page by the end of the day.

Oh, are you viewing the mobile version?

Got it. When the viewport gets skinny, the last post information gets cut off. Noted. Will start a ticket on this.
 
@Jason From the main screen, you are right, that works fine! I have a habit of visiting the forum through the subscribed thread page first to see what is new in my watched thread. If the new posts were accessible from that screen with a single click, that would be awesome for me. If not, I can live with that🙂
 
A small but significant improvement: when I go through the list of posts, and get to the point where there are no new posts since my last visit, the forum thoughtfully tells me so.
Really nice!

Appears to be working well - so much easier to navigate now, thank you. I don't know if you captured it, but the News feed functionality under Profile appears to have been disabled or changed. This should display posts made by people one follows, but it goes to /community instead.
 
A short question to the e-mail notification: when I receive the notification, I have read the post already a long time ago, mostly there is a difference of some hours between post and e-mail. Should it work that way with such delay?
 
In mobile Chrome on an iPhone, when I get a notification on a watched thread (say there are 3), I see number 3 on the little bell. At the same time, I see number 3 on the icon of the user menu as well. Nothing really important - but is that intentional?
 
And I have another one - in the old forum, clicking in the new posts area always took me to the new post in that thread no matter how many times I clicked it. Now, it takes me there only for the first time. When I click it for the second time, it brings me to the first post in the thread, since it is already marked as read. And there is no page navigation on top of the page (again, mobile Chrome on an iPhone), I need to scroll down to get the "go to last page" button.
