What kind of interest would there be for implementing something like this simplified view for everyone? Would anyone miss having the “frequent” middle posters listed. I was thinking myself that the OP and most recent posters were probably the info most people would be interested in.

I don’t find the avatar circles useful at all so I definitely prefer the simplified version. The idea of frequent middle posters is lovely, but avatars do not communicate that for me.

This layout you showed is much more comfortable and accessible to me and I think would be so for most people.

@JB

Hovering tells you:
the left-most avatar is who started the thread
the right-most avatar is the last poster
If there are more than 2, the middle ones are the 1-3 most frequent posters

Hover isn’t accessible on touch devices. It’s okay to use it for supplemental information but you have to be careful using it for anything essential/important. On our team we’ve had to move away from using hover, only adding it back in when it’s really okay with us that only desktop users can benefit. I don’t know what COTH’s numbers look like, but for the application I support, touch devices are about 60% of the traffic.

How do we delete posts? I don’t see a trash can icon anywhere when I edit a post.

Phones, especially Safari, are pretty aggressive about cookie scrubbing for privacy, and there are also device level settings that make it more aggressive. @MHM you might look into your settings to see if you are able to allow chronofhorse to save cookies longer.

Hmm. Would it have changed overnight, though? I wasn’t getting booted off for the first week or so on the new board, and now suddenly I’m getting kicked off all the time.

If your iOS updated overnight, it may have reset that value.

I don’t think it updated. Or if it did, I didn’t get the usual alert about it.

Thanks. I was thinking it was still done via the edit button.

@Moderator_1 I have not been logged out of the forums by the website . I’m using a laptop though, not a phone.

[Moderator_1]

If you’re trying to log out via the Forums, and you’re getting signed back in automatically, you’re probably still logged in on the main site. Does logging out there resolve the issue?

Well, that was a complete failure of my use of my native language to communicate. I’m so sorry. I was trying to say that, unlike some other users, I have NOT had any problem with being logged out “against my will” so-to-speak.

[Bluey]

Just got logged out again when I checked a link in a post.

I think it has to do with some links, that may just get you kicked out?

No problem logging in again.
Seems to have a little window that opens to do that for you if you click on it.

No, I think that one was all me. It may be time for Mod 1 to push back from the keyboard.

@Bluey Do you have “remember me” checked?

[Bluey]

Yes, remember me checked, then click on the offered tab superimposed on that little window and it self logged me back in?

This just started yesterday, did it once this morning and again just now, so seems new and random?

Just a little bitty problem, not worth looking at it, unless it is part of a bigger one.

[Moderator_1]

The developers did say that there would be some users logged out periodically today, so let’s give it a little time, since they’re definitely monkeying around with log-ins to get those problems fixed.

Thanks @Bluey!

[Bluey]

Good to know, makes sense, since it is a new thing.

I was gonna ask if you ever sleep

[MHM]

Could someone please explain the light/dark print? I was thinking the lighter print designated threads with no replies since I last looked at them, but that does not seem to be the case.

Threads you’ve read (recently?) vs threads you have not?
