the discourse forum software is awful from a user experience perspective unfortunately, having been victim to multiple migrations from older traditional forum software to it.
- solardev 3y agoWhat do you dislike about it?
- LightHugger 3y agoInfinite scroll, takes over ctrl-f, bad handling of subforums ("categories" were made for this purposes but ended up being extremely clunky). Then there's the visual design aspects, huge amounts of wasted screen space (depending on your aspect ratio, 1/3 of the screen width is taken up by a bloody scroll bar), lack of clear separations in the UI. I've stopped using discourse forums so i'm forgetting a lot of the complaints i would have while using them.
- solardev 3y agoThose are all pretty legit!
- stiltzkin 3y agoI see the opposite, older traditional forums are pain to use.
