I’ve moved some of the posts from this thread specific to the tools mainly used by the moderator team into the moderator lobby so we don’t clutter up general feedback and questions on the new changes.

Yep, I agree the gear approach to launching user cp would be an good compromise and is a recognized standard

Just checked in and posted on CL and then MBWorld which still has the old layout, the old way is much better.

Yeah even if the pull down was on the same side of the page (left side) as the threads that would be an improvement. Part of the frustration is having to go all the way over to the right side of the page to click it.

so looking at the user menu more vs. the top bar...




steve - subscribed threads is in user menu so no need to go to user control panel in between.

why have new posts in user menu when it's in top bar?

user control panel, my profile, edit signature, edit your details, edit options, etc. are all in user control panel... why have all those in the menu too?

why is the menu all upper case?

why not have subscribed threads and new posts under the forums top bar menu?

I understand that, but it’s much more awkward to have to go all the way to the right of the page and click that when you’re looking at the left side of the page. If it were on the left that would be better.

"all the way" - do you have a 49" ultrawide monitor?
settings controls are often on the right of UIs or in a menu on the right (e.g., chrome).
microsoft also makes it very confusing in 365 by having to click File and at the bottom of the menu there's Options and Account.

One of the top posters on the site, I think my feedback has merit. This change is just annoying.

If there's a way to restore the 'Last visited' date and time, it would be greatly appreciated.
