Forum Sections Missing????

In this new forum layout, where are the normal forum sections such as - "New Posts", "Content", "Categories" and all the other sections you would normally find in a forum?

"Top Posts" , "Top Tags" and "Top Users" are the only things visible. These all not very useful or relevant in the normal use of a forum and are more at home in a social media feed.

A good example of a forum layout is https://forums.swift.org/

The focus should be on quick and easy dissemination of large amounts of collective knowledge not on who the most popular user is.

It would also be nice to see a layout that adapted for use on a mac desktop where we can see more than just 3 posts at a time.

You have two bits of feedback here:
  • The limited utility of the main page

  • The lack of information density on macOS

Regarding the first point, I’ve discussed this with the DevForums team and they full understand the issues involved.

Regarding the second, I think it’d be worthwhile for you to file a bug about this, making sure to focus on how the layout is affecting your ability to use the forums.

Another question.
How do you turn on notifications so you that know if someone has replied to your post? Or to follow a particular topic. There doesn't seem to be any forum user settings at all apart from changing your avatar.

This is, alas, another well-understood limitation of the current DevForums.
