Make Unified View optional (permanently)

Contribute Feature

AI-generated summary

Gunnar requests that the new Unified View be made a permanent optional setting rather than the default. He argues that the traditional “Unread” tab is superior for quickly catching up on active threads and provides a more convenient experience, particularly within the Discourse Hub app. Gunnar emphasizes that users should be able to retain the functionality of the old view, regardless of whether the links are renamed to “Replies.” He includes screenshots demonstrating the difference in usability between the two views to illustrate his preference for the legacy interface.

Hi,

Please make the new Unified View an optional setting. Not just temporarily, but permanently.

Having the “Unread” tab makes catching up on threads I’m active in much faster and more convenient. It also allows me to hit the “Unread” link in the Discourse Hub app, to go directly to the topics I’m interested in.

Please make it easy for us to keep the old “Unread” links on our site. We don’t care if you rename the links to “Replies,” but please let us keep the functionality.
