iHub - UX Feedback

[uber darthium]

I would say from my experience, it was front loaded pumpers like Sterling and his cohorts that destroyed Raging Bull

THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO RAGING BULL.... KILLED BY THEIR OWN OVERZEALOUS ADMINS!!!!!!!

But don’t worry Sterling, we have every single one of your Raging Bull posts, all preserved, just to be used for the right time (which some might say is coming)

[scoobey-do]

I prefer the Classic view. I don't like the new view at all. I hope iHub returns to their previous format. Thanks for letting me express my thoughts.

Why do some emoji reactions to posts show differently on different platforms on this website?

Strange.

[XenaLives]

Font needs to be mades smaller in tables...

[tredenwater2]

Ditto! it Sucks!!!

[Zardiw]

You can get the full view with Next 100.......also the new board view SUCKS.............you're putting the poster first......not the message........and it's BUSY as SHIT......

[LuLeVan]

In "Full View" I get lost because the already read postings are not highlighted.

Unable to update IBox from my samsung phone. I just try to "revert" to a previous version and hit "save" but get an error. Not a new problem.

[Cuppy]

When is the last time you guys actually updated the app?

[work-n-hard]

Good Morning Tom. In regards to the Thumbs Up, I see that it seems to be working again now and I appreciate that.
One thing that is different is, it seems to have lost the availability to see who has given the Thumbs Up.If you click on it, it only adds to the number.
It used to be that you had to actually click on the number (starting with a zero) to add, but if you clicked on the symbol 👍️, it would let you see who had given those Thumbs Up. I tried it on the post itself and the hompage.

[MrMike241]

Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate that you're trying to help. I have rotated to landscape, so I can confirm that all options show that way.

I do have some pages bookmarked, and that has come in handy when navigation wasn't working temporarily, but that's not a good solution because it's more clicks to get to the bookmark list than using the hamburger menu.

It's really not a huge issue for me, it's a wish list item. And it has no impact on how much I use IHub. My current work obligations and deadlines, however, are having a huge impact on my ability to read and post here 😕🤓

[Homebrew]

Maybe you could go to landscape mode once, and browser bookmark your most common areas. From then on, in portrait mode, open those bookmarks.

[MrMike241]

My IHub device is a 5×8 tablet. I like how that fits in my hand comfortably in portrait no matter where I'm sitting. It feels uncomfortable and unnatural to turn it landscape, and hard to read content, similar situation to a phone. I click the hamburger menu on the left to navigate, but I don't like it because it shouldn't be necessary (there is plenty of space for other options in the heading).

I'm adjusting to the new designs. But my wish list still includes adding icons for mail and favorites next to the search icon in the portrait headings, or make the new headings design render correctly for my device. I'm patient, it's not like I'm on IHub 24/7. It's 20 hours max! 😉🤪😅

[Homebrew]

I switch between portrait and landscape modes depending on which options I want. Some are only in portrait, others only in landscape.

[Homebrew]

Me too. Those "geeks" are messin' with us!

on post #359 I see a code for the emojis

[MrMike241]

Interesting. In the message text I see those emojis, but on post #359 I see a code for the emojis:

[Homebrew]

In "manage" mode, the "next 50" bug is still there, bumping to most recent, not next 50.

[Homebrew]

Yes.

They should show numbers 1 to 5 in blue boxes.

[IH Geek [Tom]]

@MrMike241 -- always appreciate your feedback + attention to the details! You're the first person I've seen that spotted that unread message highlighting. It's our attempt at improving the old school browser method for coloring links.

Will see what we can do about the deleted messages context.

Interesting use of both FV and CV. I am a FV man myself, though, I tip my hat to CV for it's long-term performance. 🫡

[MrMike241]

Are the emojis on the post I'm replying to still showing as emojis for you? They are something else when I view them. They should show numbers 1 to 5 in blue boxes. Let's see if they work here and stick:

1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

Ha - yeah, I'm trying to bring myself into this century - not saying it's a journey for everyone and I still balk at some things. Emojis are just something I'm trying to wrap my head around. If it "takes", all well and good. If it doesn't, won't change one iota of my life in any way. lol

[MrMike241]

Thanks Shelly, I think that works.

🙃 Upside-Down Face commonly conveys sarcasm, irony, humor, and silliness. It is frequently used as a playful indication of awkwardness, frustration, ambivalence, or bemused resignation, as if saying, "Oh well!"

[uber darthium]

I heard the new sub plan comes with real-time L2…. I love grilled pineapple too BTW

[ksquared]

I thought the upside down smiley face was meant to convey "silly" or something similar. I just looked it up and it seems maybe it's universally known to be "sarcasm". Anyone have any idea?

Not Miss 20th Century here.
This is a good example of why I prefer to use words.

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

Currently subscribers get 5 though I have heard discussion of possibly increasing that (up to unlimited) dependent on how the roll out goes. We shall see. 🙃

Edit: Hmm, I thought the upside down smiley face was meant to convey "silly" or something similar. I just looked it up and it seems maybe it's universally known to be "sarcasm". Anyone have any idea?

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

There will be a new Premium sub plan coming out within a few days if all goes as planned. :)

[work-n-hard]

Just FYI: The Thumbs Up is still not showing up on the main page, only visible if you click on that particular post. (At least on Orion's Bd.)

[MrMike241]

LOL, if I had tried 1 more I would have seen that 😅🙈👍👍😎🤪

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Subscribers get 5 reactions per post, those lucky ducks!

[Lime Time]

How many reactions are allowed if we did subscribe?

Just curious.

[MrMike241]

I just added 4 reactions and a thumbs up. I might be able to add unlimited? Is that expected?
👍🎉🎊🏅🥳

I suggest that if someone adds more than one reaction, group them together in one pill container. Allow others to click the pill to increase the count.

[Lime Time]

What actually is the benefit of having a subscription and not having one? The stock traders that have one seem to continue to lose money. So I don't get it.

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

Ha - I don't think anyone thinks that being able to post another reaction is necessarily going to incentivize anyone to purchase a sub.

Ability to post more reactions is simply a benefit of a subscription. :)

[Lime Time]

2 reactions allowed per post. Upgrade to premium. I knew that day was coming.

That's definitely the reason I want to upgrade to premium. The reactions sell it all. Not.

Why 2? Why not 4?

[Imokurok]

Never mind. It's already been brought up. Thanks

[Imokurok]

The NWBO hub is not showing the correct number of 'likes' next to posts on main page in classic view

[MrMike241]

I like the reactions implementation! Nice!!

I also like the highlighting for unread messages that doesn't disappear until you refresh. I find myself more frequently using full view, and switching in and out more often.

In full view I'd like the message number to link to the classic view single message view. That way, if I looked at the message in single view, the link would show as read as long as it's in my local cache, the same in both full view and classic list view. And, I could easily get to that single message from full view if I want.

I'd also like to see re: deleted messages and/or the user that wrote the message that is being replied to in full view, as I'm used to seeing that in Classic View, and it enhances context. Today I read a message that didn't make sense until I switched to classic and saw it was a reply to a deleted message. And, I might not recall the message subject context without knowing who wrote it. I know that I can click to see the thread, but clicks are sometimes slower than my associative memory. I do really like the "re:" subject link that shows in full view. That is definitely better than just the number in classic view!

I've had some ideas but no time to share. And I see you implementing them anyway. Great minds...

The way I'm using it, I don't see it as classic view or full view, I'm switching back and forth. So my focus is ease of getting to each of the other visual assets from wherever I happen to be. It's blended: Classic View AND Full View. You're not taking anything away, you're adding to the experience. For example, in classic view single message or Next X, why not be able to pop up the thread for any given message if you want. You've already done the work, so that might be low hanging fruit.

Good work! Thank you!!

[work-n-hard]

Thank You for replying and your efforts.

[IH Geek [Tom]]

@work-n-hard -- Yeah, as Shelly said, those added via Classic Board List will be converted over into the new thumbs/reactions style. None will be lost and carried over to new style, which will replace it soon (it's in progress now). Nice catch. 🕵️‍♀️

[work-n-hard]

Thank You for replying.
