Anyone else trying to get used to the new forum?

[barrisam]

I like this new forum look, but i'm still getting used to it. I find myself looking for buttons, links to conversations and quotes the old way. It's only normal i guess. This forum design kind of reminds of a website done with bootstrap. Not sure if it was designed with bootstrap though.

Any opinions on the new forum?

I like the new Fiverr Forum, but I am getting rather sick tired of those who merely reply, "thank you, helpful, good job, I agree," and the like. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Comments like this only serve to cluttering the Forum and making it cumbersome to navigate and read the valuable content in a thread. 🤨

Yeah, new forum, but same old habits... 🙄

Unless Fiverr decides, once and for all, to put a stop, I'm afraid this will continue happening ad infinitum. 😒

I'm still getting used to it too! One of the things I got accustomed to in the old forum for example is being able to directly see a new post, regardless of the category. Personally I liked this a lot, because it gave me a better overview of what I did/didn't read yet. I definitely understand solely having these separate categories, because it allows us to just click on the topics we're interested in & it helps more to stop people from posting in the wrong category (although that will always be a thing). 

However with that being said, I do miss an option with 'all posts' or something of that nature simply because that worked for me. Maybe I still need to get used to this new way, but I do notice I keep double checking categories because I'm unsure if there's a new post. Although it's more organized this way, my forum browsing actually becomes a bit less organized because of it 😅 

Another small thing that bugs me a bit (which is totally surmountable btw) is whenever someone likes your post, it says in the notification bar someone 'reacted to your post'. Which technically is true, but I don't think a 'like' or something similar is an actual reaction. I associate that more with a typed response.

Let me be clear; I realize this is totally and completely me just nitpicking, but an opinion was asked so I figured I'd provide mine 😇 Overall the forum definitely looks more clean & in due time with a little navigating practice I hope I've forgotten all about these little 'issues' I'm having!

Same! And the new Forum even has a "thanks" reaction!

I personally liked it in terms of layout and typography but things are new here, so facing some difficulty while navigating

It will take some to get used to it

What about "confused"??? I am really confusing  😕now!!!

[zeus777]

STILL in the process of getting used to it!!

Pardon for sounding bitter but gosh I don't like this version.

I know, just give me one more week and I'll be fine. Hopefully!?? 😅

I can't believe the number of negative comments in various threads related to the new Forum layout.

C'mon folks, Fiverr didn't change it to mess you up.

They did it to improve the UX here.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

I know Fiverr is only trying to help and I'm sure plenty of people appreciate it, sadly I am falling behind.😔 Waaay behind for now.

Hopefully I can jump back on the forum wagon and enjoy my ride. Just give me....ahem, several more days. 😅

BTW I didn't know what "UX" was so I had to Google it. I...learned a new word?

There's also a confused reaction. There's a like button, and 4 reactions- sad, confused, haha, and thanks.

We also need rolling eyes, facepalm and grimace emojis. Although I know of someone who said "We need all of them! Especially the letters. We need to be able to spell out stuff."

I must agree with him! 😇😉

We need a STOP emoji for all those repeated posts.

Getting some negative comments for a start is normal. Because people don't usually react positively to changes.

My opinion is that you can find the right buttons easily, just give yourselves some time.

Many people do not even know it's there. I just knew that now because of your post.

I know it's only a matter of time for us to adjust completely to the new design, but there are some things they could look into to make it a better experience for us. For me, the profile bar, where we have the notification button at the top of the page should be fixed, so it stays visible even while i am scrolling down.
