I think the new forums are really confusing and really clunky and hard to navigate, atleast on mobile, which is the only platform I ever look at the forums on.
would be cool if that could be improved

Can you give some more info on exactly what's not easy to navigate? It should be reasonably self explanatory once you start to use it...?
what new forums wtf
@wild1145#16374
Well it might be the software itself I don’t like but here are some things
I have always liked this forum because of how simplified and mobile user friendly it feels
i just want pro boards back tbh
Okay cool
@mattlawn#16379 proboards was even worse for mobile than the new one is so i personally wouldn’t want it back
I was really happy when we chose flarum i think this forum is great
Quote@UnderTails#16378 No notifications tab
Not sure what you're talking about. There is a notifications bell for me.
@videogamesm12#16385 I’d love like an owners manual for the new forums.
i have absolutely no clue where anything is located
and i have not found any notifications tab
@UnderTails#16393 That's the same thing that happened with this and the myBB forum. You should work it out yourself.
So on mobile, the notifications show up as red dots. For notifications themselves, they are on your profile (The notification on the left is to tell me I have un-read threads in boards I follow)
Quote@UnderTails#16378 No notifications tab
There is, on both mobile and desktop. Hopefully on mobile I've made it more easy to find.
Quote@UnderTails#16378 a ton of unnecessary feeling menus
Any specifically you're referring to? I get quite a lot because there are a lot of moderator stuff I see, but would like to know what you see as unnecessary...
Quote@UnderTails#16378 very annoying unread notifications
Annoying how? In how they look or the fact you get them at all?
Quote@UnderTails#16378 very annoying shuffling of threads when you read one
This shouldn't be a thing? Can you elaborate?
Quote@UnderTails#16378 just my opinion but i prefer liking on here over the reactions feature
I'll have a look, I'm 99% sure you can have "Liking" - Reactions are just the default way things work, no reason we can't either add to it or swap stuff out fully.
Quote@UnderTails#16378 over complicated everything in my opinion
It'll look more complex than Flarum, but that's the cost of a "Real" forum suite.

with your image above i can see it now
Quote@wild1145#16399 Any specifically you're referring to? I get quite a lot because there are a lot of moderator stuff I see, but would like to know what you see as unnecessary...
when you go on the forums you have to swipe through multiple menus to get to the forum page where all of the posts are. I find it annoying and unnecessary compared to how it’s setup on flarum where it’s just the forums, and centralized
Quote@wild1145#16399 Annoying how? In how they look or the fact you get them at all?
It’s annoying because it notifies you about absolutely all activity on the forums, and i don’t want to be notified about it. And it’s tough to read everything to make them go away because every time you leave a thread the rest of them shuffle around and you lose your place
Quote@wild1145#16399 This shouldn't be a thing? Can you elaborate?
When you read a thread the other threads changes order when you finish it, making it tough to tell what you have and haven’t read which is annoying when you’re trying to get rid of notifications

Okay. I am just very used to the flarum setup we have and I feel very attached to the way it is. I think that i’ll get used to the new one over time, these are just some issues I don’t like about it.
The only thing disappointing about the new forums is the fact that we still aren't using discourse
@fleshly#16435 id rather use this over discourse tbh
