It doesn't help that the default page changed from the form to whatever the fuck it is now that requires multiple steps to see comments.

- sodapopcan 14d agoI'm not a huge fan of the changes myself, but discussion collapse was in full effect before the change (and had started happening long before it). But ya, I think I agree that it doesn't help. The change was made in good faith in order to try and boost it, but I can't objectively say if it's good or not since I always skip and go straight to forums.elixirforum.com now. My biggest annoyance is that I now have to type `fo<enter>` instead of `e<enter>` in my address bar to get there.
- ch4s3 14d agoI agree in general, but I suspect that the change adds friction to commenting in a way that is counter productive.
- troupo 14d agoI still have no idea how to use that abomination of a page. Any obvious clicks lead to some weird states and places that are completely unobvious. I need to get to the list of topics in a forum, or to comments on a post damnit
- ch4s3 14d agoI'd complain over there but it's historically been pointless.
- techpression 14d agoSecond this, some of the worst UX I’ve seen in a long time and a classical example of why you shouldn’t fix what isn’t broken.
- plainOldText 14d agoI'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the new default page is absolutely horrible in terms of usability. I've noticed less comments on posts, but this is probably also the result of more AI-assisted Elixir projects being announced, not just the change in UI/UX.
