[b][c=#800000][big]Update: [/big][/c]
[u]Just Released:[/u]
[b]• Refresh Button on both Question and Story feeds.[/b]
Based on feedback, this should help users reload for new content without needing to use the new drop-menu links.
[b]• Improved the "See More »" button in feeds to allow loading of more content.[/b]
• Fixed the "Books & Literature" questions category being broken: https://similarworlds.com/questions?category=34
[sep]
[b][u]New Planned Feature:[/u][/b]
[c=#004A59][big]• Super Bookmark[/big][/c]
We will discuss adding a new "Super Bookmark" icon into the main header/navigation, which users can utilize to access their favorite page at any time in just one click.
We are still also considering having a "Regular Bookmarks" feature, whereby users can save a list of their favorite SW pages for easy access.

The header and navigation isn't an improvement. Now I have to click twice and almost thought something was removed. No need to group things when there's a huge unused space to the left and right.

[c=#4C0073] @Andrew sounds good but i have a question - people who are "more relevant" to me, i will see "less comments" from them?
I'm confused, maybe my brain is not working well today lol ..
Any explanation from anyone is appreciated thanks ![/c]

@Nuno [c=#4C0073]ooh right i get it now, the "more" and "less" refers to how much comments we will see in total after the selection ...
yes, thank you very much Nuno you're awesome![/c]

The one thing that irritates me about this new format is the showing of the latest responses on the home page instead of the whole question/comment of the original poster.
I'd much rather see the entire original post than see the latest answer. Here I am seeing half the original post then an answer/comment. It means that I have to click on the post to see just what it was the original poster is saying/asking. It doesn't help when trying to just scroll down to see the original subject of that post. I am more interested in that than in the comments that others have made. Many times, I just post something in relation without wanting to see what others have said.

No. Just click on the question and itll take you directly to that question like before.
The "do not show comment" on reflect towards seeing it in the feeds but doesnt effect it when you click the question like how it was before.

Thank you, Nymnin, that's exactly what I was hoping for. Much appreciated!!

Why can you only see comments when you show posts from everyone. Wouldn't it make sense that you could see your friends comments too when you only show posts from circle and friends only? :?

Cool thanks, will give it a try but it seems messy. And can we disable our [b]own[/b] comments from showing up?

@SW-User, this is something we will discuss and may release soon.

@Andrew Thanks, it just makes no sense at all, that people who have their replies set to private will show up now in the feed. It's clunky and messy and I don't like seeing the comments.
Hugosfbay · 31-35, M
I'm offended by the change
Hugosfbay · 31-35, M
@JohnOinger nice lol
i'll give it a chance.

@DuchessOfMapleSyrup me too.

This is off topic but could you consider reducing the time it takes for posts I've deleted to be [i]permanently [/i] deleted?
Six months is a ridiculously long time.. a few days or a week is more than enough time to change my mind..

Giving customisation makes it much better, thank you
@Quizzical But you might not ever see my posts again
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@TheManWhoFellToEarth Oh I will... I look out for them 😁
JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
The header stuff (orange VIP bar, Post buttons, and Customize Feed button and text above it) does not fit well into my smartphone screen when the white post regions below are aligned with the width of my screen. I am using Chrome on an Android phone on a Samsung S6. The VIP bar goes off the screen to the right. It is way too wide to fit. The text above the Customize Feed button overlaps the orange Question button.

love the new update so far!
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
I like the old setting better

Thanks for the update!

Too many options of very minor importance. And the drop down boxes are a drag. I imagine others appreciate the changes, but to me it's just enhanced garbage sifting with little hope of finding anything.
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
This is a huge improvement, thank you! Although now I see my feed getting spammed with comments by people I argue with, so gonna customize that to friends only real fast, heh.
Nymnin · 22-25, F
Like this change, though i liked the other one to. People seem to just be too damn lazy to learn the new changes or to lazy to make 1 extra click which takes like not even a sec unless people using wifi dial-up.
This comment is not me being an SW stuck up. I and a few people awhile back have suggested a clutter free website so it is easier to navigate through "certain" or "Specific" things a user is looking for and this is what they gave. Soo great work SW Team.
I hope the next thing they add in is #tag search. Example if i wanna see Only recent Mildy Adult content i can click that and itll only show recently Mildy Adult thread.

Make it just like ep was.

@gregloa why make it just the same if they can make it even better than before

How can I delete my entire conversations (PM's) with a user that had left SW?
I only see an "archive" option, but I'm not interested in saving them anywhere for later.. I want to erase them forever. Seems lots of people leave SW suddenly..

@sspec
Thanks, there is hope..
OK... Once I move a conversation to the "archive". How do I go to the "archive" and delete it? I just cant find it... need to know how to get there from home? my profile? my messages? were is the beginning?

Nuno · Admin
@polyandrym66 Hello. Please go to your Account Settings, and scroll down until you find "Archived Messages".
polyandrym66 · 70-79, M
@Nuno THANKS SO MUCH.. It works.. The secret is in knowing where to find it.. Never thought to delete something would require archiving it.. BUT no matter..


SW-User
The change seems decent so far
Looking good so far!
Yay thank you 😊👍🏼
Peaches · F
Thanks Andrew, I'm still learning my way around some of these latest changes. I was gone when some happened and was pleasantly surprised when I came back. ⭐Nice work, thank you.
I find it a bit hard sometimes when the drop down boxes show and you have to make your choice sometimes my mouse does not want to help me make the selection
gregloa · 61-69, M
I can simply go to my friends profile and see all their comments, most recent or past.
This site is full of suicide blondes...they need changes...changes...changes...every day changes
JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
I notice I am seeing the replies of people who asked to have their reply stream hidden.
Andrew · Admin
@JoyfulSilence hello,
Recent comments have always appeared on the homepage of SW (in the sidebar for desktop users).
What you are referring to is a different type of privacy feature, as it disallows users from browsing through all of your past activity/comments via your profile.
Comments appearing in the home feed are only the most recent comments, and cannot be used to view a history of someone's replies.
Also, they are mixed together with everyone elses posts and replies.
However, we understand your concern, and will be discussing having a new privacy feature which will hide the user's comments from ever appearing in feeds.

Bushmanoz · 56-60, M
Personaly I don't mind the change as it's fairly customisable, I would still prefer the "stories and questions" tabs to be pinned so I don't have to navigate a drop down window though..sue me I'm lazy like that
Andrew could you please put questions where posts is on the header that would make it a lot better
