Some updates are going to be released to the forum in a few weeks, and to help me make the finishing touches I would appreciate it if you could answer a few questions about how you use the forum.

If you have any suggestions of ways to improve the look and feel of the site, feel free to leave them here. However, please don't post bug reports here - please instead make a topic in Bugs and Issues so that they can get the attention that they need.

been here for years and never knew what that pin in the corner was for, and never bothered to click on it

 

EDIT: after clicking it on and off a few times, i still have no idea what it does

EDIT2: people keep quoting me to tell me what it does, so to save you all the time,

Quote

If the pin is orange and you scroll down, the nav bar will stay at the top of the screen. If the pin is black, the nav bar will not stay at the top of the screen.

thanks guys

Unsure if I'm blind or stupid (or both), but I can't tell what pinning and unpinning navigation actually does. Pinned and unpinned it while navigating around a bit, and I couldn't spot a difference... Halp!

Night theme is winning :D

 

Yeah a disable notifications for a status update button would be nice, usually they contain @Ryan_Vickers and he's usually pretty good at keeping it from having 200 replies by locking it after a while :P

I figured it out! If the pin is orange and you scroll down, the nav bar will stay at the top of the screen. If the pin is black, the nav bar will not stay at the top of the screen.

Ahh. I didn't scroll down when testing. Thanks!

Wow. I had no idea that there was a pin there, but cool I guess. Not sure I'd ever change it from what the default is though.

Don't worry, neither had I. Now I have more of an understanding about people that reply to posts without seeing the follow ups, which can sometimes contain important information.

I never even paid attention to the 'Pin'.  I noticed it on occasion - when it would change status when I moused over it - but I basically just ignored it.  I selected yes for 1, but only because that was how it defaulted.  At least, I'm pretty sure it was the default setting.  Either that, or I accidentally clicked on it once.

 

*EDIT*
In retrospect, it is useful to have it pinned.  Even knowing the option is there, I think I'll leave it as-is.

 

As for 'Reply to this topic', I've always scrolled to the bottom and replied there (after reading the thread, as I wish some people would do).  I never even realized that button existed.
