I get spammed with earned first bagdes I already earned years ago when I made this account.

Same on iOS.

Fixed some alignment issues on desktop and when resizing the browser to narrow proportions.

Also testing out out a new location for the navigation menu on the left side of the window. Please note this means the menu icon is on the top left of your screen instead of the top right. Mobile users still have the button on the top right, but the menu slides in from the left side of your screen. I’m very sorry for any ruined muscle memory. Please let me know what you think!

I don’t mind it being on the left instead of the right, but having it visible by default was a bit confusing and distracting. Only after reading your post did I figure out that I can hide it by clicking on the hamburger icon.

Still have this issue on iOS. Been like it for a while now.

:notlikethis:

I’ll have to take more time next week to delve into mobile display issues. Thanks for the report.

It takes some getting used to, for sure. I’d like to keep it on by default because otherwise I’m worried folks won’t use it or know it exists.

Oh, by the way, I think the ā€œFirst Reactionā€ badge text is wrong. Either that, or the conditions for awarding it are incorrect. It says it’s ā€œgranted the first time you react to a postā€, but I only got it when you reacted to mine.

Hmm, I can only think it happened because you used one of the new reactions and then I did one on your post right around the same time. I’ll have to check in to that, thanks.

What is the difference of using heart or thumbs up?

It seems like this is the thread to post feedback for the general Funcom Forums revamps in, so I hope I’m not intruding by posting my feedback of the most recent forum update here!

First off, I love how customizable the new navigation menu is. Very cool to see!!!

I added the ā€˜bees’ tag to clear the tag menu of the default tag list. It’s bees now.

On desktop, expanding the new menu pushes the entire forum to the right like it’s Bikini Bottom, but it’s entirely accessible on desktop albeit a tad jarring.

There’s only one real problem with the new navigation menu itself that I’ve noticed so far and it’s one I experience on mobile:

It has an inaccessible bottom. I can’t reach the inbox button or any button beneath that on mobile at least on my phone screen, which is an original iPhone SE and thus a smaller phone. I can’t scroll the menu any farther. It ends on the Messages header and then it tries to scroll the webpage itself. Can’t access the inbox button, the ā€˜add custom section’ button, or the desktop button at the very bottom of the navigation menu. Changing the amount of tags or categories shown doesn’t seem to have any affect on my ability to access the bottom of the menu from my phone. They’re completely out of reach.

Also, it looks like Discourse does not consider the non-heart reactions as ā€˜Likes’ by default since the heart is the ā€˜Like’ feature. People who use the other reactions but don’t ever use an actual ā€˜Like’ reaction will possibly not get the Like-related badges or any trust level advancement that might require Liking things if that remains the case. I suggest making it extra clear that only Likes count as Likes, if so.

Yeah, mobile accessibility issues are something I need to look into next week. It’s a pain. Thanks Vomher :slight_smile:

@AndyB as of this afternoon I am now having this issue (same as above in Post no.167) on a second browser. Based on n reports from myself and other members, that means this is now affecting the Samsung Internet, Safari, Brave and Chrome search engines. It is quite possible that this is owing to many of us being on more compact models of phones, and it seems that both Apple and Android models are affected. At this point in time I can not even logout as the icons needed to do so are inaccessible.

AndyB can you adjust this further, super pretty please? I need your help.

Since when we can not see flagged comments anymore? And why?
It does not do anything, does not show the replies, the likes… And if I hover my mouse over the :heart: icon, it says ā€œyou can no longer remove your likeā€. Remove what? I did not even like anything.

Andyyy
Andyyy
Did you update the system again?


My deepest apologies i bring these news this afternoon.
I would be very happy not to bother you with these issues.
I know you’ll fix it i count on your superpowers :metal:
