Changes to VNC home page

[David Schweizer]

I have recently noticed what seems to be a couple of minor changes to the VNC home page. There are now banners indicating  time scales for posts ie: "Past hour", "Today", "Yesterday" etc, along with blue quote bubbles to the left of each topic, which appear to achieve nothing except bring up a banner  marked "Post" when right clicked, I only noticed these since I has to reload my account name and password when I inadvertently deleted them from History in Firefox. Are these unannounced recent changes, or have I just not noticed them in the past

I think the blue bubbles have been there for a while.  The one beside your post doesn't say 'post', but 'topic'  presumably because it's a new topic.  As yoy say, they don't seem to do anything.

That is interesting, I looked for an earlier topic which has not had any replies, and that also came up with "topic" when I right clicked on it. However, there is now another new feature - a "Mark as Solution "tick box at the bottom of the post and a green banner at the top of the topic which asks which answer was the most helpful, along with a wordy explanation. Personally I can do without all these interferences, Is there any way I can get rid of them?

I am a member of another discussion forum, which uses the same software as CWDF. That forum also has the blue bubbles on the left of the each topic heading, but does not have the green banner at the top, or the "Mark as Solution" tick box at the bottom of the post,.We are normally informed by the Site Staff when there are changes to the forum features, so that is this feature something authorised by the mods, or is it there by default?

There are two buttons at the top of the topic list 'expanded' and 'condensed ' , have you tried clicking on condensed, I know if I occasionally click on expanded it does all sorts of things to the list which includes a speech bubble

[David Schweizer]

Already tried that, it made no difference.

We have not made any changes to the layout at all this year. There are big changes yet to come in the next major update for Invision but it's too early to comment on those, only that they're on the horizon, I suspect within the next 12-18 months.

Thanks Rich.
