Like this expanded view?

The expanded view takes up too much space. Hovering the mouse where needed was much better IMHO

[richard kimber]

One thing that I think would be nice (well for me anyway) would be a way of indicating, in the unread content, what are new threads since my last visit - perhaps by having a different colour for their title. I've no idea whether this is possible, but some way of quickly seeing what's new (as opposed to additions to what's old) would be nice.

New threads seem to have a larger font for the title.

 

This doesn't happen in condensed mode, as far as I can see. Colours would be better.

I complained that the original blue was too dark and suggested lightening it. I'm not opposed to something entirely different.

 

Or just lighter.

I just shrank the size of all the usernames on the left of each post. 

 

Looks fine.

Would it be possible for the tags on the list of unread content only to be seen in the expanded view? Some entries rather defeat the purpose of the condensed view if they have several tags:-

[richard kimber]

I find this happens with other pages too. After a while, I often don't get the on-screen notification and have to refresh to be sure I've got the latest posts.

I raised an issue a while ago, but there was no response, so I'll try again.

 

I'm receiving an email entitled "Your Computer Audiophile digest".  Towards the bottom there is an option for not receiving the digest:-

 

"Prefer to stop receiving these emails? Adjust your digest preferences: https://www.computeraudiophile.com/followed/?filter=digest"

 

This link takes me to a page entitled "Manage followed content", but I cannot see any link that indicates I can change this preference. If it's there, it's well hidden

May I suggest a tiny alteration for the search? I may be wrong, but I think most people would regard the main entries in each section of the forum as  "topics" or "threads". Indeed there is a "start new topic" button. Yet the search page seems to regard them as "content titles". Maybe, also, "topic" might usefully be listed as a content type in itself. Also, it would be useful (to me, at least) to be able to set default search options.

 

PS:  I've still not found a way of disabling the Computer Audiophile digest I get sent by email.

PSS: Click on your name and profile picture that appear on the top right of every page.  Click again on "Settings" which will bring up the "Overview" section by default.  Look to the right side under "Other Settings" for the link to "Notification Settings".  Where you will likely wish to uncheck the first box before tailoring the other site and browser notifications.

 

So, being on the mailing list doesn't do anything other than provide the digest? Or will unchecking that have other implications?

 

I assumed there might be other information that I might want to receive.

Digest is in the area for content you automatically follow. 

 

 

I don't have any content I automatically follow, apart from my own posts.

There's no mention of a digest in the image of the settings above.

And I have "Do not send me notifications" set in the settings.

 

Any thoughts on:

Based on your settings (see below) you automatically follow all content to which you reply or post. 

 

 

Digests are the once per day or once per week emails.

 

You have daily notification (digest) set for this thread (see below)

 

But where is the daily/weekly notification set? In the image of my settings you can see that I have as the "Method to use for content I follow automatically" set "Do not send me notifications". I thought that would turn off the digests.

 

Sorry, I guess I'm being a bit dense here.

The word Content covers all possible forms of content on the site including topics, blogs, articles, etc... Thus, searching Content titles is the correct word. If it said Topic titles, that would exclude searching for articles, blogs, etc... by title.

 

I was just looking for a way of producing just a list of topic titles, and only the titles,  based on some search criterion, and felt there wasn't an obvious way of doing it.

Go to this page and disable the override that's set on some topics individually.

 

https://www.computeraudiophile.com/followed/

 

On that page it says: "There's nothing here yet"

This search gives you topics only, with the word DAC in the title. Is this what you're interested in?

 

 

That gives more than just the title, it also gives what is presumably part of the first posting. That mean it takes up much more screen space if you're just trying to locate a topic.

Ah. I see. Thanks. Sorry to have been such a pain.
