Yeah I believe this is unavoidable in the current theme component form, because it actually does a search to find the most liked replies. Probably fixable when we integrate these updates into Discourse.
Fair, it might be overkill to show it in both places for casual forum visitors… I think if the bottom appearance is optional, I’d lean towards most simple by default:
simplify the topic map, by default only show it under the original post like we currently do
add a user interface setting to enable it at the bottom of topics
Including some toggle within the map itself might be overkill (though it would be more discoverable), I suspect most people might not ever toggle it… and if they did, only once?
Another option is to increase the threshold for when it appears at the bottom… at the moment it’s when there are more than 10 posts, but maybe something like 50 would make more sense?
The downside here though is that summarize becomes harder and harder and I tend to want to reach for it even on shorter topics sometimes even with only 2 posts.
Also … I wonder… we are stressing out about this extra noise:
Does some of this boil down to @piffy’s request to move it after topic controls? cause the controls tend to be more important than the info? (eg: replying / sharing etc…)
This is great! And the views graph is a brilliant feature. Once you have 30 days of data, you can see a nice story about a topic’s views. Very, very nice!
On mobile if I open a user card on frequent users then the user card backdrop can be on the frequent users modal? Now if I click outside of the user card it close the frequent users modal too. It would be great to close only user card.
The links modal seems missing some padding on mobile.
I’ve also notice on desktop when I try to Resummarize the topic the button not always working maybe while the summary modal open? I am not sure because this was pretty rare but last time I clicked the Resummarize button and nothing happened then I clicked outside and closed the modal and try again…
We’re eagerly awaiting for this ‘New Topic Map’ to go live.
To tell the truth, a normal person like me is left astonished at the level of discussion that goes behind any such change/improvement. To tell one more truth, , this is the first topic for which I’ve set the notifications to be sent to me on every new post, even when I’m not even ‘one-post’ participant in the topic!!
