Not sure I understand the wasted space thing, at least not in comparison to the old site.
Here’s a thread with short posts on old vs new sites side by side:
And here’s a “new posts” style page (using compact / small font on new site):
Yeah, on posts the huge avatars ‘waste space’ for those who complain about it, but they don’t see it - on compact mode definitely it almost exactly emulates the space taken by Legacy WB
Not sure I follow. Long posts old vs new still nearly the same:
Also not sure where you’re suggesting the timeline scroll thing could fit?
Don’t think this is possible - short posts have no space there.
I’m really not sure I should be proud of this - but go into your preferences and choose a new theme: “Get off of my lawn!”
If you don’t see it right away in the drop down, refresh the page…
I’m probably missing the obvious but I don’t see how to go to my first unread post on a long thread. Help?

The answer is in the ‘helpful tips’ thread sticky, but basically use the ‘speed wheel’ thing - you can move all around a thread quickly with this scroll bar on the right

Two questions:
-
When I access the site via a bookmark my iPhone function bar is accessible at the bottom of the screen so I can page back easily. When I access as a homescreen link that bar doesn’t come up. Anyone have a clue?
-
On the old site you could access your own posts, which was helpful in many instances. I’m not familiar with that as a Discourse option and don’t see it here. Is it available?

- You will want to change your bookmarks, make a new one, as whatever your default was before might not be what it is now. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘iPhone function bar’ - do you have a screenshot?
- There are a number of threads on ‘my posts’ - we’re working on that, trying to see what is happening as many have all their posts linked but not all, and obviously THIS group REALLY wants to see their own content

The bookmark access is the one that works best. The home page icon is one I just added today. It doesn’t give me the function bar in the attached pic. It has <, >, functions menu(square with up arrow), bookmark icon, tabs icon.
I just tested this and it does not seem to hide the muted user’s posts. Note that the explanation in Preferences - users only says “Suppress all notifications and PMs from these users” - it does not say it will hide their posts.
Nope. Just the first two options showing for me, no “Ignored.”
Dig deeper - click the username, then again, then where it says ‘normal’, click the dropdown
You don’t have that? Might be a ‘permissions’ thing

You are correct. That is the menu I pasted from. Beneath “Message” I click on “Normal” and the dropdown gives me just the two options - no “Ignored.”

Well, lookee there! (Old-time “cheers” emoji here)
it’s because your ‘rank’/trust level was too low - I have to figure out how to get all the more seasoned users to automatically go up in trust level
