New Forum feedback
At the moment I prefer the old forum. It was much more logically structured and easier to find stuff on and just browse topics. Maybe I just need to learn it more, but if something needs learning, then it's not intuitive. I would like the option to replace the infinite scroll pages (which you still need to click a button to show more), with standard pagination. Pagination shows up in your browser history, which makes it possible to jump to a specific page of posts you've previously visited. If you lose your place in these infinite scroll pages, you have to click Show More and scroll to the bottom and repeat, over and over again. Why? It's much more tedious than just jumping to a page in your browser history with one click. On the main Discussions index page there's no introduction to each of the 4 main sections to tell you what is in them. Lounge? What's that for? What type of posts should go in there? Same with Device Trust - what is it? Password Manager should be obvious, but it could mention that all flavours of 1Password are discussed in there (mobile, desktop, browser extension, Mac, Windows, Linux etc.). I would guess a lot of people have no idea what Passage is, and from this page they still wouldn't. Under these 4 main topic areas there needs to be direct links to sub-sections, so for example, you can go directly to the iOS posts in the Password Manager section, rather than having to click Password Manager and then the IOS tag in the Categories box in the side panel. I've no idea what Device Trust is! Even the Welcome to the Device Trust forum post doesn't say what it is or what you should ask in there. There needs to be more sub-categories in the Betas section. All betas, for all operating systems, for mobile, desktop and browser are lumped together with no way to filter. How do I find posts about only the Mac Chrome Beta browser extension? I can't. Why do the URLs not match up with the Breadcrumbs at the top of the page? For example, If you go into the Discussions > Lounge section, the URL is: www.1password.community/category/discuss/discussions/lounge - what are the extra red bits for? Also, the URLs for Resources and Champions are /connect/ and /advocacy/ - more inconsistency. Why is the Password Manager section not called 1Password, as that is the name of the product across all platforms that people will recognise? Inconsistently, it is called 1Password in the URL for this section! www.1password.community/category/discuss/discussions/1password When you click into an individual post or tag, the sidebar disappears so you can't navigate directly to another tag without having to retrace your steps. Why does the Discussions item in the menu bar have a drop-down with its 4 main sub-sections listed, but the Groups item doesn't? And why are 1Password Administrators and 1Password SDKs designated as groups and not discussions? They appear identical in functionality and UI once you click through. That's most of the things I've noticed so far. Overall I think it's been launched too early. There's too many inconsistencies and illogical UX decisions. Because you've launched it in this state, search engines will be indexing the current content under it's current broken and inconsistent URL structure making it difficult to fix without lots of broken links (or lots of redirects).
Old (new forum) forum user needs UI help
Hello everybody. I am a very long term, but not technical, user who is not shall we say a daily visitor to our (new/old) forum. I've recognized the need and used 1Password since version 3. The new forum looks very pretty with the tags and endless scroll of posts. But I really could use some help with the forum. It seems to always start the the newest post and you have to scroll endlessly again each time on. There's no Mark Posts Read I'm used to using. No distinct pages and index to go to. Just like with old newspapers I find great utility in browsing pages of posts and not being a slave to Search and tags. I've participated on my BBS's prior, but this seems different to me. If you saw my own personal 1PW and attempts to Tag you'd know why. Perhaps there might be a referral to the general use of tags someone might generously provide the would make them useful to use? Is there some index of Tags like there isn't of Pages? How do I know what to use because I'm not great at search? Do I just create any tag I feel like using? I think that would not work for the community any better than myself. I do not even see a way on this 1st post to create my own tag. Well I just wanted to ask for some help and there might even be others that could use it. Thanks HELP., COMMUNITY_USAGE, UI, TAGS
Champions can't form below but can be docs'd by Google and slapped five
Mixing site feedback with everything else in a "Lounge" seems less than ideal, but since there is no other practical feedback mechanism, here it is. On the Champions page, step one - Sign up - says to "Fill out the form below". There is much below, but no form. Above is a "Become a Champion" pill which links to a Google Docs form, which may not be a favourite choice for privacy-minded folks. Lower down is another pill for the Spotlight Q&A linked to another form, this one hosted at slapfive.slapfive.com by a Customer Marketing Platform with a privacy policy which those privacy-minded folks might not like if they make it past the definition of Country as "Massachusetts, United States".
