TekTips site redesign? 26

What does everyone think about the TT redesign?

I really don't like it.
For example, I do Avaya IP Office...
Where is it in the list ?
Why isn't the list alphabetically sorted ?
I highlighted all Avaya products...

Yes that seems an obvious oversight! Still getting used to things,

Nonstop alerts lol. Had to manually configure them, hopefully it is good now.

Is there a dark mode on here? Or do I need to install an extension to force it?

 

[teletechman]

lost some of the FAQs and now I need one of the lost ones. This set up sucks.

One good thing I found is that you can have private chats with people.

just hover over the Blue Icon above the handle and "start conversation"

But that is a small plus in a sea of WTF's

I found out that the links within the signature don't work

Not a Fan of this new design

to find what you want you can't simply search for a word

Well, you can, unless I have misunderstood you. it just isn't obvious where to do that. You have to go into Search Forums, and then select the Search FAQ tab ...

I lost some FAQs

The transfer from the old site somehow managed to miss any FAQs after about April 17th 2019. Site management are aware and will hopefully be recovering the missing FAQs. No idea of a timetable, though.

I do Avaya IP Office...
Where is it in the list ?

Yes, Forum management is a mess. I have my own workaround for searching for a specific forum - I access the Search Threads tab (under Search Forums or Advanced Search), then use my browser's search page feature to find the forum in the 'Search in forums' list. There may be a better way to do this, but I haven't found it for now.

Please return to the last one or give the option to choose between OLD or NEW

>the option to choose between OLD or NEW

Unlikely, I fear; two completely different platforms - this isn't just a reskin.

 

[Rhinorhino]

I find myself not visiting the site as often as I used to the whole experience is confusing and difficult very new paragraph the background color does not lend itself to easily being able to find what I'm looking for.

Any chance that they will revert back to the successful original design?

 

[ipohead]

Gradually getting used to it. I like the way I can watch a forum and received e-mails but initially it signed me up for everyone I had ever visited so I had to 'untick' a lot of them.

Agreed about the FAQs so I hope the newer ones will reappear

I don't like how I can't search in only the forum I want but it searches every forum not helpful.

Has anyone else set up a similar site like tech tips that is easier to navigate ?

 

[teletechman]

Can we search only a specific forum and not see all forums when we search?
