Sorry @frikkr
I’m not saying we were the ones who flipped the switch or even said to do it now, it just kinda happened overnight haha. I don’t even know if the change is permanent to be honest.
We were just getting tired of having to navigate to page 6 and to the bottom every time. Granted I would agree. An announcement that the change was coming could have been in order.
The concern regarding auto-navigation to new posts is something that the crew is definitely aware of. but apparently trying something new like flipping forum direction was a lot easier in the code for a start. I think there can be a forum topic dedicated to the community voting on the proper structure of a forum post layout. At the end of the day our voice sounds like it is being heard. Just look at what a small number of people were able to gethappen.
If people hate the new layout perhaps we could brainstorm what a good layout would look like. Or 3 different functional layouts and let the community vote which one they preferred. You won’t be able to make everyone happy but I think throwing a vote would be a good community way of.
