Web Forums Update - 3 Suggestions

[xHappyMood]

Hello! First of all, I like the new forums very much! I do have 3 suggestions though.

First Suggestion:

My first suggestion might actually be a bug on phone (iPhone). If I click on something that pops up from underneath is doesn’t fill the whole screen anymore. I think it was better before, it looks like this now:

Before it just filled the whole screen.

I suggest to make it fill the whole screen again.

Second Suggestion:

This second suggestion is a lot less important, it’s more my personal preference. On someone’s profile, people can write messages as you probably know. Before there was already a place where you could just start typing, but now, you have to first click on the ‘comment’ button. It looks like this now:

After you click on the comment button it looks like this:

Before, it was already like in this second picture. That meant, that you didn’t need to click on ‘comment’ first.

I suggest to remove the ‘comment’ button and

Third Suggestion:

My third suggestion is a QOL thing to make posting threads a little easier. Before, you had the ‘Preview’ button which allowed you to preview how your thread would look. Now, however, that ‘Preview’ button has been removed.

I suggest adding it back.

I don't entirely understand the gravity of these issues so I can't exactly weigh-in here. I haven't used the forums on my mobile device so I'm not entirely aware of the suggestions you are making and how they will affect the forums.
Nevertheless, if any mobile forum users understand these problems and agree with them, I hope you will support this thread.
For now, I will just stay neutral here.

I've read through your suggestion again and changed my vote.

This might indeed be a bug, but I have never noticed this and it never annoyed me. So I feel like it's fine that way.

I think that this update was a good one. There were quite a lot of people who accidentally commented on a profile post while they wanted to create a new one. This update prevents that from happening as you have to click on comment in order to comment on a profile post.

Third Suggestion:

My third suggestion is a QOL thing to make posting threads a little easier. Before, you had the ‘Preview’ button which allowed you to preview how your thread would look. Now, however, that ‘Preview’ button has been removed.

I suggest adding it back.

This suggestion is actually a good one. I've seen some people complaining about low quality forum posts and suggestions and removing this is not going to help a lot. With adding this back people can check if their suggestion looks good and ready to post which could mean that the post has a higher quality than when you are not able to check that. It's also handy to check if you haven't made any mistakes that need to be fixed.

Still exists, just in a different place :)

Great idea! I really loved having this for my long suggestion threads and I believe it should be added back! +1

Now that I have a better understanding of the situation, I have to agree with the second and third points you raised!!
Seems like the staff agree! I can see this has a good chance at getting changed for the better! :D

Oh! Well then I suggest adding it back to a more visible place (:

If you go to the forums list you have to scroll so far down, same for a profile post with a lot of comments. And to me it looks really ugly.
