FR Getting A Little Harder To Navigate - What's Up?

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble all of a sudden navigating FR? It seems the feature that lets you know when you have a reply has turned into a two-click process. This just to see what replies you have. And then it is another click to actually read the reply. It used to all be done in one click.

Something has definately changed. Change always causes a bit of trouble getting used to it. But this seems to be more than that. FR navigation has been easier and far above any other forums I have seen. So much so that I ask myself, why can't they do it as good as FR? Sure would hate to see that change - and the changes that have already taken place.

try going to your comments then hitting "Full" (where it says brief|full on the upper right)

then make sure you are logged in ;)

Click here and that should put it back the way it was.

I think it is improved.
I really like the forum button on the top.
Before the browse all function, I am sure I missed some things on the other forums That were interesting.

Not as seamless as it used to be ... no question. It's good to fine tune something ... but me thinks they've taken the fine tuning process beyond what is practical.

I agree, navigation is much easier on Krusgnet.

Has something changed at FR? Except for that moose in the shower it all looks pretty much the same. Of course, for security reasons I never log in so that might explain it. Still you're lucky as I normally only click on posts with "Vanity" in the title" - I almost missed this one.

Bless your heart.

I am amused by how lost some FReepers are in the place they spend all dang day in.

If you are talking about seeing the whole post when you check your pings without clicking the thread.... there is a link that says "brief" or "full" up in the right hand corner of the Pings page (Note for the easily confused... this used to be called "My Comments")

Very ingenious of you. Thanks

[socal_parrot]

Don't use it to death now. ;)

I hate using the little smily face thing.

It's just you. We had a meeting. There was a reason you weren't invited. Now we're all just twittering and giggling at your frustration.

I say we go back to when you had to use HTML.
It'll give people a real reason to bitch.

Being a member of others forums that underwent major, drastic changes that removed functionality and literally mucked-up the entire interface, and as a former geek, I've been INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED with the EXCEPTIONALLY WELL DONE changes to the forum. They've been implemented smoothly. The changes are fairly intuitive and allow for more content on each page. With the exception of mostly minor annoyance glitches, they WORK. I'm pretty picky when it comes to changing something that works if it isn't flagrantly broken. This implementation has been down-right impressive. And, I don't impress easily.

THAT is a thing of beauty!

[JennysCool]

Yeah ... Those were the days. Close your tags!!! ... Sorry, just had to say it again.

[sweetliberty]

Hehehe....picking on the easily confused again, I see.

[KTpig]

Well, now I know enough to be impressed, I thought it was just me. Are you sure the geek thing should read "former?"

But then again, if we don't deem this a hugh problem, how will we get this thread over 200 like the one earlier today?

Sorry you are experiencing technical difficulties.
