iHub - UX Feedback

[IH Admin [Meghan] (former)]

How are you accessing the site? I still have the quote/chart on the right of stock specific boards where they’re supposed to be.

[havnagoodtime]

Hi. My problem is this: It doesn't matter which stock-specific board I choose, The Quote Table & Chart which used to be directly to the right of the board posts has vanished and replaced with Posts Today, Posts Total, Posters, Moderators. Also, the line-up of features directly above the board messages: Quote, Trades, Historical, etc. are also gone. How do I get those features back? TIA.

[DewDiligence]

If you want to fix something, how about the advanced search feature so you don't have to go year by year to find something from the past?

I second that! A very annoying bug/feature of Advanced Search.

[DewDiligence]

I have the same problem, although it doesn't happen every time.

Why can't iHub save a user's format preference properly?

[Homebrew]

You can choose "classic"

Hi Shelly, This new format is hard on the eyes, miss the old one already.

[Astavakra]

Each time I choose Classic, after I read one post it reverts back to the new format.

[BDEZ]

Hi Shelly, This new format is hard on the eyes, miss the old one already.

Thanks

[IH Admin [Meghan] (former)]

Options are for those that are logged in. 😉

[Jagman5]

"Full View" is garbage. Please delete.

[Lime Time]

Let's say someone is using the website without being logged in. It defaults to the new format, which is not preferred. I don't see an option to choose Classic?

[IH Admin [Meghan] (former)]

Everyone has the option to choose which format they prefer. You can return to classic if you like.

[Astavakra]

Return to classic!

[Da Kine 17]

I can’t even open it now, website keeps crashing before I can even attempt to change it back…

[IH Admin [Meghan] (former)]

Sounds like switching back to classic might be a good idea for you. Try that and see if you’re still having problems.

[JD400]

I'm glad the new format is working for some. I can barely get any board to load on my little Chromebook. Seems like it has to work extra hard loading all the spam ads and such.

site loads and works great on my Iphone but I don't post from my Iphone.

My posting is down 75% since the new format was introduced. Probably because I don't have a good computer

thats OK I'm just a free guy with no ad blocker and probably won't use Ihub as much as I'm use to.

I like the changes just not the best for a quick loading site anymore on my PC

Thanks for letting me use the IHUB site platform , my friends and family enjoy follow me here and i've always wanted to thank IHUB for over 10 years of sharing .

[Giovanni]

I have to change it to classic every time I come back to Ihub?

What the heck?

[Giovanni]

I Do not like the new format.
I click on classic view and it does not go to where I left off the last time I was reading The same thread.
Why start at the very last post and go backwards to where I left off.
Dreadful!! How do you know what number post was the last read?

[ErnieBilco]

I hate it and would like to be set on Classic - having to change it manually each time I switch boards is insane.

[Mr. Zen]

I like the new format, it adds another dimension. Too bad no one is using this site anymore, the good traders have all been chased away.

[Guzzi62]

What a total disaster, when I switch to classic mode if goes back to the new style very quickly.

I really hope you can get that sorted so it stays in classic mode, thanks.

[HANUMAN]

When clicking on "newer" or "older", you should not have to scroll up or down to find the next new or old. The beta will greatly slow the scrolling process.. The old version did not always allow this, but this is far worse.

[Lime Time]

Dont get rid of Classic.

New format is terrible on mobile browser. Can only see 4 posts at a time. Keep classic as the default view. Classic shows 15.

We use both views, but Classic is best.

Thanks.

[Slojab]

Ugh. I absolutely detest the new format. Please don't ever take away the option to stay with Classic.

[boarddork]

please stick to the classic look. Classic is much easier to distinguish between posts

[ciciagt]

Terrible revision. Classic is better except any time I log in (and sometimes just changing to another stock board), I have to AGAIN select classic view. Please just stop these so called improvements.

[9HikeDiscGolf]

Honest. I don't like it. I like the Classic as always. Habit of view I guess.

IMO

[glens0]

I don't like the full view. The classic is a lot better. Thanks for letting us keep it.

[HighlandGambler]

There was nothing wrong with the "Classic" view. Change for change's sake is seldom appreciated. Please at least keep the option for your customers to select the view they wish.

[ergo sum]

This just is impossible to use. I suppose if I didn’t want to read a thread it might be a useful way not to, the worst part is that it defaults to the beta version constantly. Could you at least stop that?

[gail]

i saw that and did it, im thrilled.

[Gmenfan]

From eastunder:

It's a choice so...

Go to your settings (top of the page)
Go to site options
Go to the bottom of that page
Choose classic on your board type

and you will set the style of all the boards you visit

(at least it did for me ;)

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Give it a try now. I made a change that I think fixes this. Let me know.

[gail]

i have an ipad and its awful for that too.

[UpTickMeA$AP]

Definitely like classic much better.

Want to spice this site up, just add meme gifs to add to posts, like stocktwits. They're fun!

Fun sells.

[Ace Trader]

BETA SUCKS. Classic is the best un cluddered browser why mess with a good thing

[uber darthium]

It would be great if it worked. Not so much on iPhone and iPad

In fact, it really sucks

[Gmenfan]

I think it was developed for the folks the use their phones and tablets to internet surf! Just my opinion.

[MrMike241]

I was proposing reactions for general posts, but I suggested it during the time that the thumb 👍 was replaced with the heart ❤. Now that the thumb has returned 👍, I care less about alternate reactions to general posts. I wasn't really excited about the prospect of 🤡💩, etc. reactions, but I included them for consideration and discussion because if any emoji could be added, those would certainly be used. So IHub options would be to choose the set of acceptable reactions, allow only the thumb, or open it up to any reaction. Because IHub has moved toward minimal censorship, I was guessing that you would open it up to any reaction. It's more of an idea for discussion than a request. Of course, that's not manageable in the list view / classic view, so maybe the caveat is that everything is a thumb in list view until you open the messages. In thread view / full view, everything is possible, if it is approved by IHub itself.

I hadn't considered the need for an emoji tracker, because I add emojis with my tablet's on screen keyboard, which includes the emoji tracker. But perhaps that would be helpful for other devices.

BTW, you may have noticed that I think of Classic View and Full View as List View and Thread View. I like both and I recognize that a lot of thought and effort has gone into the Full View. My feedback is that it needs some work in identifying which posts have been read, and out of order reading. When replying from Full View, I like that it shows where in the thread you are replying, but it needs to be better highlighted. At first I found that confusing but now I see what you're doing there. I suggest adding the ability to quickly choose another part of the thread to reply to, and once selected, a bigger button at the top to switch to the full editor.

As I wrote this I thought that it would also be nice to be viewing a single message in Classic View, and be able to display the entire thread that pops out in a thread view reply. That might be the best of both worlds.

[gail]

i agree fred.

[gail]

i agree, i hate this new style. its hard to reply, its hard to find a post that someone else replied to, etc etc.

[eastunder]

I asked the first day it appeared. Drove me nuts!

Just so you know - I have set it twice now because it will do a random reset to the new format.

Maybe because of an update?

[Gmenfan]

Thank you! I should have checked the board before asking my question.

[Cincinnatus]

I'm legally blind and I need to surf through the classic to read a few entries by ccertain people and if I can't use classic all the time, I will have to rely on Reddit and other sources. I need to be able to permanently use classic.

[Gmenfan]

Is there a way to make the view you prefer a default setting? I absolutely hate the new look. I have a desktop PC, I'm old and the new view is too busy and hard to navigate. New is not always better.

[fred2207]

Is there any way to permanently switch it to Classic view and leave it there? I hate full view. Truly terrible.

[ChuckBits]

When viewing a reply to a post, it doesn't show the "user name" of the post being replied to.

[eastunder]

It's a choice so...

Go to your settings (top of the page)
Go to site options
Go to the bottom of that page
Choose classic on your board type

and you will set the style of all the boards you visit

(at least it did for me ;)

[BBANBOB]

IF I CHANGE it to real time it means I DO NOT LIKE BETA, so why does it NOT STAY where I put it

BEAT STINKS

WHY TRY TO FIX WHAT AINT BROKE?????? And by the response this new thing sucks to ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[Hi_Lo]

The new interface is cumbersome to work with on a phone.

[bananarama]

Please keep the Classic look. I hate the new look. It is too spreak out and hard to read. Why change something when it is perfect as is. I will keep using the classic look. If that is eliminated, then I am gone.
