My first impression in a word: horrendous. Too white - I feel like I'm being blinded. Too little information. I'd look at the daily points summary which was updated twice daily to make sure everything was running smoothly. Now it forwards me to a horrible looking page without the information I need. I don't need 'cool' graphics, I need to easily see the information so I can see how my grid is running and if a computer is down or under-performing. Thanks for understanding :)

Interestingly, the forum looks much better on my Android (Vivaldi Browser) than on my laptop using Firefox. Maybe I'll check a few settings and see if it improves. But ultimately, it's a non-issue as I'll get used to it.

The forums need to be more easily accessible from the home page.
The new badges are a massive retrograde step as their values are not obvious. I cannot find the rankings of my contribution. I cannot find my contribution by project in order to determine which project badges to work towards. |

After spending a bit more time on the site, my opinion hasn't changed. Hopefully this is a work in progress. On the old website the contribution page contained ever bit of information I needed on a daily basis and I don't see a page similar to that anywhere on the site. By contrast, the Overview Page on the new site contains nothing I need or care to view. Bring back a page similar to the old Contribution Page that lists all your projects, badges and "exact" total Run Time per project.

mostly good. loved how you moved it without bringing down the upload and download of WUs.

I love to know when I'm getting close to the next badge level. please put a link to the forum in the community tab at the top of the page.

There are still some more things to do here on the forum, things that aren't implemented yet or that don't work anymore:

I really think that the new website needs to have some of the same features that the old website had like where you are in the rankings and how close you are in getting your next badge

It's still there. It's the icon on the left as seen in the bottom right corner of a post. AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

It's still there. It's the icon on the left as seen in the bottom right corner of a post. Owwwh. I'm using a dark theme (Dark Reader) in my browser and that button is nearly invisible, that's probably why I missed it. Thanks Falconet. I'm also missing the button underneath a member's name to jump to the last post in a thread when using 'Recent Threads'. Is it really gone? EDIT: No, it's still there - also nearly invisible in the browser's dark theme. [Edit 1 times, last edit by adriverhoef at Sep 20, 2021 5:58:20 PM] |
