The discussion addresses how to access the admin page for a user from the /u/ page, particularly on mobile. Jonathan5 notes the ‘Admin’ button is missing, prompting Moin to explain it’s located on desktop next to the message button and on mobile via a horizontal scroll below the user profile icons. Jonathan5 confirms the issue on mobile, where the icons fit the screen, making the scrollable nature unclear. Moin references a related UX topic discussing the obscured admin button on mobile, highlighting a common usability issue.
I’m fairly sure it used to be when looking at a topic, then a poster’s user card, then their user page, there was an “Admin” link to take you to the admin side of things.
Now I can’t find it and have to remember the username, go to Admin - Users and search for the username.
Is the option somewhere else now? Thanks.
Where do you miss the button? On desktop or mobile?
On desktop, it’s at the top next to the message button.
On mobile, it’s part of the horizontal scrollbar below. Sometimes it’s difficult to notice that you can scroll there.
If you still cannot find it, maybe try safe mode to check whether some customization is hiding it.
It does. For example in the topic I quoted. There is also an open Contribute > UX topic about the problem
