How do I find followed forums, note not followed threads as that is where the star brings you?

How to I skip to the last page in a thread from the top of it? I seem to have to scroll down to the bottom and then back up past the who's online shitw

When I press the star button at the top that seems to be the way to see the threads I follow the drop down mostly drops behind the screen I am currently looking at. A glitch obviously that can be fixed but the rest is awful.

Soccer forum is missing. Can't find it at all.

Why oh why did the touch site have every user of the thread listed? Surely the whole point of the touch site is to keep things concise and simple

Cyloncity · 15-07-2021 07:45AM

It's not what I'd hoped for....

Anyone know how you get straight to latest post on a thread on touch site? I can only access page one post one and go from there.

My existing ignore list seems to have been deleted, and the list seems to have a limit of 5? 👎

Is it just me or is it really slow?

I know it was toxic for the most part, but to banish it completely is a bit OTT

Have to agree, it is pretty poor and I suspect most members use the Touch Site to access Boards. I had to stop all email notifications due to protracted delayed notifications being sent days, weeks after responses posted and at all hours in the night, even from threads actually closed, in addition PM notifications coming in long after they were responded to (Matters never resolved). On the touch site I could just view current threads I am following and partake as required, this feature seems to have been removed so have to trawl through pages of threads book marked to catch up. I do not intend logging onto my laptop to view thread of interest to me.

Soccer forum lost in the crossover it would seem. Not like much has happened soccer-wise in the past week 😂

Necro · 15-07-2021 07:50AM

If you were a member of the soccer forum previously you will find it in your 'Groups' tab

Groups — boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin'

They probably broke it in testing after the England/Italy final.

A true boards hero who shouldn't be forgotten so soon, but tbh you'd have thought they would have manually created an account for him

White space added totally unnecessarily by the new system.

Vicxas · 15-07-2021 07:52AM

Cant find my forums i used to follow, looks like you can only follow threads now. Anyone confirm?

Desktop is much worse than old boards, who in boards thought this was a good design move?!

Shedite27 · 15-07-2021 07:52AM

Any idea how to switch the "My Discussions" to show most recently posted first?

15-07-2021 07:54AM

My advice.

Imagine being poor old HigginsD, you post for the first time ever, earnestly looking for toyota avensis parts for your new car, nobody helps you, 1000+ likes and then you get deleted. Like what must he think?

breeno · 15-07-2021 07:55AM

What have they done

Necro · 15-07-2021 07:59AM

Ah well, let's just have a big old rave anyways

The touch site is trying too hard to be Twitter or new Reddit. Everything is a jumble of different threads with no coherence. It’s like it’s too embarrassed to be a discussion forum.

At least the desktop site is still usable.

sydthebeat · 15-07-2021 08:00AM

quoted posts tabulated to centre is ridiculous. tab to the left like every other readable media
why the large grey boxaround videos, gifs etc?
so much wasted white space
no need for current user list at the bottom of the thread in touch mode
"my forums" and "my threads" options gone, why?
user name dictating sidebar width. wrap text here
grey text against dark blue background is impossible to read a la profile settings
no option to open notification, messages, or profile in new window ???
private groups not brought over

petes · 15-07-2021 08:00AM

The more I try and use it.....the worse it gets!

The Continental Op · 15-07-2021 08:02AM

Now there are some good bits. Inserting an image or a youtube link is much much easier but the smileys suck big time. Far to many to choose with to much graphical detail to display well in a post, they are a decent size in the picker then tiny in the post. Gmail has a good system where your most used smileys appear as a separate group which saves going through that huge list each time.😫
