Viewing groups - which do you prefer?

1 minute read time.

Hi everyone,

It’s Ellen here from the Community team. We are hoping to get your thoughts on a change we are thinking of making to the way you currently view groups. We’re looking at making this change based on some of the feedback we’re seeing across the site, and within the feedback survey.

You’ll see a poll below this post, where you can vote for what you like best.

Currently, when you go to your group, you see a list of discussion titles. This is shown in picture A below. This view allows users to see the title of the discussion, but they need to click into the discussion to see any of the posts there.

The other option we have is to change this view so that when you go to your group, you see the latest activity within the group. This is shown in picture B below. This view allows users to look at the most recent posts within the group, without seeing the discussion titles.

The future plan would be to have both views available at all times and users can select whichever they would prefer. In the meantime though, we are only able to use one or the other.

Which would you like to see in your groups? Use the quick poll below to let us know.

  • Thanks everyone for your comments, we'll take all of this feedback on board. 

    , , - thanks for your feedback on threads. Currently, the site is designed to show the original thread starter at the top of the page, even if you're looking at the most recent comments. We've had some feedback on this from users and we're looking into what options we have for how threads are presented. As we're working through technical fixes at the moment, this won't be something we can look at until we have bugs and issues sorted but we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and we'll keep you in the loop.

    Best wishes,

    Ellen

  • Thanks Ellen, We do know everything cannot be put right instantly but it is good to know things are in hand.

  • Three questions for you please!  1.  Who's idea was it to press the return key to post. We are all used to pressing this for a new paragraph and tend to do it automatically without thinking. 2. What do we press if we want a new paragraph 3. Could you tell me what significance the arrows up and down mean to the left of the Like key. I thought it WAS the like key until I realised when I press 'up' the number of likes doesnt increase.  ///    I'm still having problems where on the right of the screen when i press the left bit that has the number beside it along from my avatar the screen says "An error has occurred please contact your administrator.  I have sent in screen shots of this before but if needed i can send it again!   Thanks Annette
