New TwoPlusTwo Platform

My feed, has a bunch of threads I would never normally look at. Is this normal, as in it's meant to get me to look at different things on 2p2?

It would be nice, and maybe there is a way to do this already and I'm a noob, to reorder communities in the fashion I'd prefer. So for me NVG then below that business forum then so on, rather than pre sorted areas.

Also would be nice, as in the old platform, if when you click on a community it takes a different font so you know you've clicked it before. As in the old one the hyper link is yellow when you have not clicked it before and blue after you've done so.

Edit, - No idea who "RelaxedMerganser" is lol, how did logging into the new platform give me a new user name? Prolly user error but odd.

How do you access the old UI? It seems to be defaulting to the new one for me now, and I'm running into a bug where none of the thread titles are visible. The issue is possibly related to using a private browser as I am able to view the titles if I switch over to a normal browser window.

Other first impressions:

1. The new interface looks a lot better/ more modern.

2. I'm not a fan of splitting the threads so that it requires an extra tap to view replies. This makes more sense to me on very large/active forums where the extra organization is needed. Here it just makes navigation less clean/requires extra clicks to see the same amount of information. Also, the derails can be a problem at times but they're kind of the charm of two plus two.

3. Especially for strategy posts, it would be nice if the first post would semi-stick. That way if you're scrolling through posts you can scroll back slightly and see the first post immediately (kind of like it's a sticky where it's always on top). Not sure if I'm explaining the concept well, but to me this feature would be more useful than tiled responses. In strategy posts I find myself constantly having to scroll back to the first post to check a detail of the hand.

You guys should try to get the ranking stuff Pocket 5's had since GG has decided to ruin it for absolutely no reason. Was literally the only reason I logged in over there ever.

I also do not like the idea of seperating the threads. Sounds like FB esk commenting and they absolutely destoryed the comment section when they did that. Let the discussions take the shape that they take.

While we're at it, get rid of the majority of the moderators they're awful.

Like the idea of two-level threads. It should lessen the impact of anonomous trolls and the attention they crave.

I don't see anywhere to access my PM's nor see a way to message someone on the new platform.

My first impression is that it looks good. Some replies in threads seem to be missing, and whole threads as well. Maybe I still haven't gotten used to the new platfrom. The avatars also seem to not be linked to the new platform.

Like the idea of two-level threads. With some improvements the new platform has good potential. I also like that the new look is a lot more modern, let's see...

Think I mentioned this before but PMs would
be really useful especially for coaches.

Also you cannot see the title of the threads in the feed at least as I see it. That would be nice as well.

Personally, i hate two-level threads - having to look for answers in 10 different places and then piece them together reminds me of my job too much. Could see it being useful for massive threads with hundreds of posts, but for smaller threads its more work than its worth imo. Id like to see everything in one place at least in <10 posts threads (maybe you could not do the two-level thing until some number of posts in the tread) and/or a button that would show all replies and sub-replies on a single page.

The new interface also loads way slower for me.

Made a new thread and it does not default to follow it. Also not auto following threads after posting.

Are the threads on the new site truncated? I am seeing threads that had 80+ pages reduced to five and responses to posts that are no longer visible.
