New forum look and feel?

Has the community forum been updated recently? It looks a little different to me today compared to yesterday. Maybe a new Discourse update or an adjusted theme/layout? Just curious if anyone else noticed it too.

earlier today the site was set to read only, so I guess something may have changed, haven’t looked properly….

Thanks! It definitely looks a bit different on my iPad. I’ll have a closer look tonight on my PC.

On my PC now, there is a message saying they moved to a new server…

Yes, we did migrate the community forum to a new version of Discourse (and gave it a new home) with some additional changes to the look and feel and functionality. Let me know if you run into any issues!

For me, I’m happy with it so far because my dark mode setting on my web browser now works here.

One thing that was always an issue is posting white resources (to be able to add color in Facer), such as tickmarks. So the dark mode helps!

I like it somewhat; it’s going to take me time navigate this new look and feel. Like what @mrantisocialguy said, I like the that dark look also, not so bright in your face.

Not too bad so far!

A heck of a lot better than the new Samsung Forum. It looks pretty good indeed!!!

Thanks for the update and all the work behind it! I noticed two small things, although I may simply be overlooking them.

Some older topics only show the month and day, without the year, which can make them look recent. I also can’t seem to find the automatic link from a member’s profile to their Facer collection anymore.

Maybe these options are still there somewhere, but I thought I’d mention it. Thanks again!

That is a big inconvenience if someone has a community username that is different from their creator profile. It was always helpful when replying to questions to see a profile in order to learn how much experience someone has. Now the helpers will have to guess at how technical their answers should be.

I wonder if I reply to myself if that will change my Leaderboard rank. It’ll be fun to post one of my designs with a question each day so I can climb the ranks. (Just Kidding). I never liked community Leaderboards.

I am glad to see you made he Top of the Leader board today . I frankly think it is in error . All the historical Data is exactly the same so it is only Current for the last few weeks . I have cut back my likes on the Community . I did not want to be accused of Like Festing . I still regard the Facer Community the best of all . But as You and Jives have mentioned haveing a link back to the Work of the Contributor is really helpfull . Perhaps you guys as Partners can put a Special request in .

we did. a few requests.
