New Layout

Can we please keep the old layout? I don't like how everything is so spread out. This makes skimming through posts a lot more time consuming.  Also, when clicking on a user's profile, it's more difficult to find the actual threads user started. Most people don't click on user's profiles to see their reply posts. Users usually click on profiles to see the threads the user started. Thank you kindly for your consideration.

I tried typing this is the box where it says "We're experimenting with our forums. Please or " I was unable to press the submit button. The button simply doesn't respond.

Hi Guys,

Recent posts were brought back, as well as a search function for Forums. If you are experiencing any issues please let us know.

Hello Womper - we now have the ability to show each user's time relative to their location. So for instance, the old forum was in Eastern Standard Time, where the new forum is relative to your time zone. Currently you can hover over the "Posted: about an hour ago" on desktop, and it will show the time that the post is shown relative to your own time. 

You raise a great point though, that any historical post (eg. weeks ago, months ago, years ago) that was made may not work with our new layout. Would it help that if any post beyond 24 hours we would show the actual date and time? Perhaps 48 hours? What do you think would be the best option here. 

This is a great example of how we want to work with you, the user. This type of feedback is exactly how we're trying to make the site better.

Thanks,

Covers Team
