Horrible forum DOWNGRADE
This new forum software is horrible. Only 4 forums you can post in. No forum to discuss any of this. No obvious way to tell if a post/thread has been read. You cannot subscribe to threads/forums to m...
Forum Discussion
My thoughts so far:
My original reaction was - oh my - another lit. hium (LOL! this forum does not allow it's own name!!!!) forum. My previous ISP switched to a lith - ium forum and many of their regular helpers disappeared, though I can't prove a causal relationship.
Then the first new post I saw was spam, and I thought: hmm what problem were they solving???
Still trying to figure out exactly how to follow threads. This morning I saw the little orange dot on my bell/notification icon, so I clicked, waited for it to think awhile (this forum is really slow sometimes) and then it displayed: no notifications. Um, OK...
Oh, and then it logged me out in just a few hours and I had to sign in and do the 2FA again??? I've heard of things like this happening to other people on the old forum, but I never had to re-login - it always acted like any other forum for me, where a user could stay logged in for years. I suspect spambots are much less likely to be annoyed by having to re-login than real humans.
But then when I logged back in, my notifications page has improved significantly! So apparently, things are still in progress?
I think TVs and media players should be separate forums.
This forum has been Lithium (now called Khoros) since its inception ~7 years ago ;) Nothing new there.
All forums are going to deal with a certain amount of spam, especially forums from brand names. We do our best to stay on top of it and encourage folks to mark topics they see as spam.
Definitely noticing some slowness as well, and I also saw the missing notifications that you're describing, and it's on the list of bug fixes we're submitting to Khoros (keep 'em coming! screenshots are super helpful, as is what you are on desktop or mobile and your browser)
TV and players can now be filtered by the tags at the top. So fewer subforums, but still separation via tags. It's a new way of navigating that we think serves people who liked the old subforums but still makes it easier on more casual users. Try it out for a bit.
Always appreciate your feedback, Strega!
