Hi all, well, who ever has access to the forum backend,

~~Since the Forum Related Issues sub is gone, I will put this here...~~

EDIT 2: Found the buried What's New sub (inconsistent title) with Gordana's posts, but given the other things in there, it looks confused as well... There is also no option to move my own thread? Though it doe not really belong there either...

~~What is the difference between the "Design => GDL" and "Developer => GDL".~~

~~There is also "Design => Library" and "Developer => Library" though I guess that could be differentiated by queries regarding the default libraries and custom libraries.~~

EDIT: Ok... since posting this, I have realised that the Label List on the right side of each sub-forum is generated by the user assigned labels / tags on threads... This explains the duplication of labels between sub-forums and points to an issue that will most likely create confusion, more so since each sub no longer has a description below it regarding it's content and threads can be created without ever setting foot in them.

Are there label tiers? Is the label input when writing a post smart? Labels should probably be listed together with each post on the threads list.

Ling.

~~ps. Any chance we can get the Post Preview function back?~~ Preview is at the top right of text box as pointed out by Vistasp

pss. Does regional spelling make a difference with labels? ie. Not English (US)

These should also be moderated before they are added to keep them relevant and to prevent pollution.

Hi Gordana, or whoever has access to the forum backend,

Within the old Archicad-Talk forum, it was a common occurrence for people to attach images to posts and not put them inline, especially for shorter posts. This worked out fine since a decent sized preview was shown for image attachments. With the new forum, this is no longer the case and each image is needed to be opened individually. Would it be possible to make all image attachments in these threads be inline at the bottom of their relevant posts for clarity and legibility. I am assuming that this is not an inbuilt forum function and to do so would require some sort of automation to be a viable venture.

Threads that you have read have a medium grey title rather than the default dark blue. Given the new forum, all of the migrated threads are by default unread. If you want you can click on the Options tab on the top right of the threads list and "Mark all as Read". This does not carry to the sub-forum headers on the home page...

Or, are you looking for a "New Posts" function which will show you all new posts since your last visit regardless of sub-forum?

Whoever has access to the forum backend,

There needs to be an option to collapse code windows, or limit their visible line count and add a vertical scroll. Changing the background colour of these code windows would also help legibility, though that maybe beyond the forum engine...

I am looking for a "New Posts" function which will show you all new posts since your last visit regardless of sub-forum. the new setup is very confusing and hard to manage

Is it possible, that some images that were embedded in posts got lost?

Example here (first post):

runxel — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 06:40:58 GMT

Also, I have to re-login everytime I visit the forum. 😕

Are your cookies broken? Maybe please set a longer Expiration Date.

Re: We want your feedback!

runxel — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 06:53:48 GMT

Yeah, definitely.

I came across so many of them just yesterday 😞

What about putting a side bar to the side for long threads?

Rhino Discourse (to the right):

The new GS community:

I have no sense where I am in a thread, and this infinite page without any reference is not so optimal for reading... Also, the "Load more replies" at the bottom of the page could be removed to have an infinite thread until the end.

That was quite an old post from 2009.

Those images may have been links to external sources that are no longer available.

I have noticed that migrated post with embedded images now just show a link where you can preview or download (open) the image.

We have asked what has happened here and if it can be fixed.

Images can be embedded in new posts quite easily and these do show in the post.

Is it possible to see only the thread headers?

Re: Sub-Forum Organisation

DGSketcher — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 07:34:20 GMT

Must admit I liked the obvious structure of the old forum. I guess we are all going to have to adapt to the new structure and how to find and follow key issues.

Re: We want your feedback!

DGSketcher — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 07:47:42 GMT

You can see the new posts by clicking on Graphisoft Community in the page top left. You should then see Hot Topics and options for listing including Most Recent.

runxel — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 07:48:30 GMT

Yes I'm missing that one, too.

Sad that GS didn't choose Discourse, which I still think is the Gold Standard in forum software as of today.

Re: We want your feedback!

DGSketcher — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 07:53:31 GMT

I am used to having the thread displaying oldest to newest, is there a quick way to get to the end of a long thread?

Re: We want your feedback!

runxel — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 07:57:19 GMT

There is no visual clue, If I have already "liked" a post.

By accident I just unliked one...

Generally.... What an atrocius design is this?

It's wasting so much screen real estate. I'd wish the layout would be more compact. Because at the moment my widescreen display sits mostly empty, but vertically I can see like 2 posts max. 🤦‍♂️

The avatar and thumbs icon etc takes the focus from the subject...subject should be on top, avatar and icons smaller and to the right or at least not on top.
