7 years agoI finally got access to the forum again since my access was broken after the update... Indeed not much has been improved in the promised update. The only step forward that I can see is that posts now fill the horizontal space. A couple notes:
- As corestar mentioned, "More Answers" and "View More" are back even though they were already removed in the previous version.
- Topics are still sorted by "Latest post" instead of "Most recent activity" by default. Furthermore, the time written under the post title still shows the time of first reply rather than the last.
- Subcategories were not introduced for the large FPGA sections.
- The editor is heavily borked. Backspace and Delete keys remove two characters at a time in most cases. Enter also adds two new lines. CTRL + Z (undo) acts erratically and removes too much text at a time. CTRL + Y (redo) does not even work. Submitting replies takes A LONG time. I had to write this reply in a text editor and copy/paste it into the forum since it is nearly impossible to write more than one line with the current editor.
- The "Search the community or Ask a Question" bar obstructs half of the screen when you reach the end of a topic.
These are likely not the only problems since I have used the forum for only a couple of minutes.

@HRZ, this is not my experience. As long as I'm logged in, the default is "Most recent activity," as it should be. If I'm not logged in, it's set to "Latest post".

You are correct. I just checked again and the default is "Most recent activity" after I log in. I guess the forum admins should also change the default value for when the user is not logged in to keep things consistent.
