Hello there,

After using the 80g trading thread a few times, I noticed somethings :
The first observation was that each time I opened that forum thread, I was getting back at page 1 ... and now that there is over 26 pages worth of posting, this may create an obstacle for user to actually use the thread. Secondly, I noticed that some of the latest posts were already a few hours old, implying a slow or low traffic on said thread. In absence of actual data on thread usage, I was left wondering  if the first cue wasn't also causing the second?

I'll leave the actual investigation work aside and suggest a friendlier user-experience navigating and re-opening threads. Especially when using the Recent thread links from the main page, it would be great to get to the latest post instead of the 1st one.  

Thank you in advance for looking into it

  • To open the latest post, in recent threads, just click on the little "arrow" at the right side of the topic title.

    • Thanks for the tip - I wasn't aware of that one - but it works only when going from the recent thread list ... It would be awesome if the same could be implemented on the main page in that window showing the 4-5 latest active threads or if you could at least click the username to access their comment directly, maybe? Or maybe it is a personal issue and no one else think it is problematic ; that could also be it.

  • Think it will be hard to add the feature on the front page. Maybe make it a habit to click on "more recent threads",

  • Just deployed an update that allows you to "jump to latest post" from the homepage forum widget.

    Also, somewhat related, the recent threads page now will display the forum a thread belongs to. You can thank Sinti for asking me why that wasn't a thing.

    • Okay then : " Thanks Sinti " ^^
      I appreciate the feedback. Keep up the amazing site you guys are having !
