Opinion on moved Community Happenings link?

Discuss!

The community happenings thread is awesome and massive cheers to everyone updating it daily, while generally maintaining the writing style and spirit of the thread. Just saying this here because it would be verboten in the thread itself (as it should be).

Changes are scary, and I don't like them.

This is a good QoL for everyone though.

 

[RodgerDodger]

Damn you Null! We don't adapt well to change.

Is it just mobile or did null add reddit upvotes at the bottom of posts?

I’m of two minds.

I like where it is located now because the site looks so much cleaner. Random.txt, then featured. Looks good. Follows the hierarchy of notifications. Featured threads are perceived as the “big deal”, and the stuff in CH highlights interesting things happening in a specific thread at the time.

Then again, I feel like having the verbose notice in your face was what was assuring in driving new blood to threads. Were it not for the huge notice in my face, begging me to click it, I would have never found out about some of my new favorite cows, like BossmanJack.

Like all things, it just takes same adjustment. I like this change.

I like that it now automatically takes you to the latest page when not logged in but I think it should take you to the top of the latest page, most users are going to want to read through multiple posts in the thread in chronological order, not just the last post.
Also personally I preferred the previous location near the top of the webpage

It put me off at first glance, if it helps other fellow sneeders though by all means

I HATE CHANGE!
But lurker had a point. Thanks, lurker.

This will be the end of the Kiwi Farms

This is gay. Why not edit the code itself to allow that. It’s PHP.

Moved my cheese. This is an awful slight

That e-mail is funny, because page 1 was preferable to see Null happenings. It was the quickest, easiest way for a logged out user to find Null's profile and view the latest posts.

People who aren't logged in can go soak their heads.

TLD?

 

[Lokenstien]

I was going to be upset about the change but instead I'm happy that the lurkers are being considered and accommodated.

Sneedforo will settle this controversy with a compromise. The community happenings link will be in the middle of the other happenings. It will also link you to the middle of the thread.

XenForo has a quirk where if you use `/unread` on a thread, it takes you to the last post you saw. If you've seen all posts, it takes you to the latest post made. If you are a guest, however, it always takes you to the first post.

The only way to deal with this is to use a template switch so that it's /unread for users and /latest for guests. XenForo notices, where the message was previously, does not support templating syntax. Adding it to the featured widget allowed me to accomplish this. I just stuck it at the bottom.

This is a very reasonable explanation.

Give yourself one extra ration of high grade Cheese today.

Like many others seem to have been, I was initially annoyed by the change. In the world today, things are constantly changed and made infinitly worse for no real reason other than to say its new. This change, in my opinion, is a negative to me specifically, BUT it actually serves a purpose. Something was broken, this fixed it, so, its a good change unlike the constant shuffling of store shelves or those of websites competing to make the ui as unbearable as possible. I will get used to it.

Realizing that having an account would let me easily navigate to wherever I left off in a thread is a big reason why I finally signed up after a few years of lurking. I personally liked the link being at the top but overall this is a good change, IMO.

It took me a second to find it. I hate it
