Less of a pleasure, more of a chore

techiebloke

The new layout makes the forum harder to use and so it's not really so much of a pleasure coming to use it as you actually have to think what you want to actually look at opposed to being able to get a general overview of what's going on when you log in.

I'm actually thinking 'best go in and look at the forum' as opposed to thinking 'I wonder what's popped up on the forum'

This is of course known as stickiness and for me at least, it's losing it.

techiebloke you see that’s the thing. I would rather have specific tags/boards I want to see in my timeline and not be bombarded with everything. Flarum give you that option to use All discussions where you see everything and option to hide certain tags you don’t want.

I currently only have help, announcements, contribute, feedback, new platform and service support. I have hidden all others for now. Suits me nicely. Will add and remove others when it suits me.

persco How Do You (I have hidden all others) Do That ,still leaning Grrrr.

I prefer the new layout as I can go to Community and scroll down all the latest posts, whatever their source. I'm actually finding I access the forum much more than I used to (tended to just visit Photography)

bluenose5 are you on mobile or desktop?

bluenose5 right so on the landing page where it says “welcome to the giffgaff community”, on the left below “start a discussion “ you will see a list of the tags/boards beginning with “all discussions”. Click on any tag below you want to hide eg “contribute”. At the top you will see latest and follow with a star and a little drop down arrow next to it like below and click on the down arrow and you will see the options. Just click on hiding. You can do for all others you want to hide from your feed

i too do feel that flarum is kinda a bit rubbish.. i sincerely hope this is just a stopgap solution for giffgaff.. until a better provider is found
