IRON HEART FORUM MIGRATION - Help Us Make the New Forum Even Better

I'm trying the pagination setting. So far it's not an improvement.

@chrisjohnnick I was reading through some of the older posts and just wanted to highlight a useful suggestion that you had where you wanted to save posts for later. You can now bookmark posts and you'll be able to go back to them via your profile.
Just hit the 3 dots menu at the bottom right of a post and then press 'Bookmark' to save it.cc @AdamJ

Switching to Chrome browser in mobile mode now and the pagination setting. Results seem to be better for the jittery text issue. I hope I'm not speaking too soon here.
The typing box for replying also works much better than Firefox.
The top 2 bars bouncing up and down is still present and an annoyance but overall this may be my answer.
Much appreciation for all the help!

Awesome, thanks! I totally missed that.

@Madame-Buttonfly Hi P how have you been!!
Well this username is kinda embarrassing but i have gotten used to it.
Used to play a lot of Dota2 during my time in university. Me and my buds would be on skype calls to communicate for dota2 and i get cranky a lot when playing and i also fart a lot (which they always heard it over the mic). Thus the name.

I’m still seeing the bug that the side panel opens and then the screen freezes. This happens when I swipe to go back on my iPhone 13. Both the back functionality and opening the panel happen simultaneously and then I can’t get rid of the panel.

I’m using an iPhone 14 and the DuckDuckGo browser. Yes it’s when I’m scrolling up to see older posts. Usually only happens if I scroll quite a ways. I’ll pay more attention to when it happens and report back. Thanks @jtaylor69

@SKT if you're able to do a screen recording, that'd be really helpful so we can see what's happening.
If not, we will see if we can reproduce it on our end.
I think it's most likely when the older posts are loaded in as you scroll (we don't load in all posts at once to ensure that the system performs at its best). -
@jtaylor69 was planning to hop on today to ask about this showing up. Is there a way to allow us to toggle this confirmation popup on or off? Personally would like it off. If there is a slip of the finger, we can go to the "Recent Posts" and see all the things that we may have just cleared away.
Also, is there any chance of different visual themes for the forum? Thinking something in a "dark" to go easier on the eyes.

I don't think this is going to happen, sorry. We have other areas to focus on development wise than to remove this double click UX. Sorry

This is something we may consider

When I check the forum to see the "Unread Topics", I often see sales threads that I'm not interested in at all due to the sizes of the items that are being sold simply being too large (or small) for me. While it is possible to mark single forum threads or an entire forum category (i.e., the "Buying and Selling" section) to be ignored and thus not to be displayed in the future, it would be even better to be able to mark forum threads to be ignored depending on the size of what is being sold in the respective sales thread (e.g., if I'm interested in sizes XS, S and M, I'd want to ignore all other threads).
Moreover, it'd also be great to be able to filter sales threads by location (i.e., to name the two most basic filters: EU and non-EU countries) in order to ultimately only be notified of those items that the OP is willing to ship to or one's willing to make a purchase from (e.g. a forum member from an EU country will be able to ignore sales threads if the OP of the said sales thread is located outside of the EU or if the OP simply doesn't wish to ship outside of where they're located).
Here are two suggestions to fix both of the above mentioned "problems":
Option 1: By creating subcategories of locations (EU, Non-EU, etc.) and making additional subcategories under those (Size XS, S, M, etc.)
Option 2: As some people prefer, however, to a) post multiple items with various sizes in a single sales thread AND they might be willing to ship to anywhere in the world (which would make my requests obsolete), this second option might be better, but also more technically demanding: Making a tag system where each user can select a single or multiple tags from a preexisting list of locations (doesn't have to be countries as it would be too much work. Instead, e.g., EU, Non-EU, etc. would suffice) and sizes (XS-XXXXL etc.). While this option might be better, I'm not sure if the current forum system allows for such tags to be filtered as "ignored threads".
Overall, I understand that the sales section of the forum is already a generous and useful offer of IH for the forum members and putting in more work might not be favorable. At the same time, however, it is also one of the most frequently used and appreciated sections of the forum. That is why my suggestion should hopefully be in the interest of those that want to buy or sell items more efficiently in the future without having to constantly mark sales threads as read when they're not even interested in them due to the size difference of the items being sold.
