How can I undo hiding a forum category?

XIII · August 2016

When trying to mark all items as read I accidentally hit "hide" instead (the UX of this aspect is terrible on an iPad).

How can I get this category back? (Windows beta)

@XIII,

The UI for this is terrible.

Two workarounds:

Click on the top level category (e.g. Topics) from within a forum or post.
Use the ShowAllCategories designator in the URL, as in https://discussions.agilebits.com/?ShowAllCategories=true

Thank you!

Solution:
1. https://discussions.agilebits.com/?ShowAllCategories=true
2. Unhide forum
3. https://discussions.agilebits.com/?ShowAllCategories=false

I would never be able to do this without your post… Thanks!

@MrC: Likewise, thank you so much! :)

@XIII: I'm glad that helped. It's definitely one aspect of the forums which has a negative intuitive quotient. Cheers! :lol:

I reported the problem of inadvertently hiding topics on iOS in 2015 and there have been a number of responses since saying the forum was being 'looked at'. Nothing has changed yet!

@tonydow,

We've passed the feedback along to the developers of the forum software that we use. We don't write it ourselves, so we do not have any direct impact on when or how these changes get made (if they do).

The best we can do is keep bugging them. :)
