NEW FEATURES - new notification menu

@ToddFrench As someone who has to maintain websites for audiences (although none as large as Wine Berserkers), I wanted to pop in and say that you have my sympathy. You have to keep updating the software (for security patches if for no other reason), and every little change is bound to make someone unhappy. Keep up the good work. :+1:

Well, this thread explains why WB has been looking different a few times over the past few days.

I don’t perceive any benefit to the changes that have taken place over the past couple (few?) days. They’re annoying.

I still like the old site a lot more than this one.

Sidebar is gone, notifications remain - should be good to go now - will update OP

I tried the WB Standard theme. The entire layout is still off on Safari in iPhone.

That’s when you click which, the three lines or your avatar upper right?

Here’s what you’ll see in notifications (clicking your avatar)

I’m not clicking anything. That’s just the way the page looks with the avatar and the hamburger menu offset, and the layout of the forums squished in a way that doesn’t even let me see more than a few letters in thread titles from the main page.

not sure - restart the browser, perhaps something cached? This is what I see, iphone, Safari, nothing clicked

If you set your main homepage to Categories, instead of Latest, how does it look?
Even the pop up to write this answer looks different than it used to. It takes over the page in a way that doesn’t lst me see the icon at the bottom to preview the post.

Back to normal on desktop. Thx Tawd.

That’s similar to what I used to see. But what I see is what I screenshotted. I had been operating under the impresion that that’s what Al had meant earlier:

I will try other stuff on the browser.

Ok I figured it out (mostly). It was serving me the desktop site on mobile. I had to change the setting here instead of the browser for some reason (my browser was not requesting it).

Ah, common error!

Should be a much more pleasurable experience for you now lol

Glad you figured it out, Guillermo. My issues were a bit different and mostly affected composing posts on mobile. But, they have gone away with the new changes.

….Off topic, but why was the feature that let us know if someone was online taken down?

The “Unread” is gone again from the three bar menu. Is this a feature or a bug?

This is the new notification menu Discourse is ‘forcing’ upon all software updates as of the next update, so I activated it now

I still see ‘unread’ at the top menu, not in the three line menu

I will check on it, see if it can be fixed/added

very different in mobile. have to click topics then select box “latest” or “unread” etc

adds clicks and I never use any of the other menu items- not sure what some of them are

Wow. That sucks. Cuz its more important to see tags and “About” than being able to get back to the threads I’m following.

Sidebar is even more annoying, so I’m trying to see if ‘header dropdown’ can include unread

They are phasing out ‘legacy’ (the one we had before) so I have to figure this out one way or another
