For new users that line have no-sense and I saw a lot of forums that are using the same color for the category and sub-categories or only for sub-categories
For old users in those forums is impossible understand the subcategories (for iunctis forum I think that they can’t distinguish most of the categories too).
I prefer if the categories and sub-categories are displayed like the tags are in Latest (under the title) with some size adjustment
ONLY for the category page:
I agree with trash here, I feel the chip add lots of visual noise and confusion especially if it shows up on two columns, would far prefer to use the proper category styling on latest list there.
The list should end with Show More, which just goes to the Latest view (autoscrolled to that point in the list, of course!) - EDIT, I see we are surrounded by Great Minds
Will there be a setting to switch the left/right columns? For instance, I’d try them vice-versa.
(just an idea) Also, when the “Latest” column is shown on the left, the auto-paging could be added as well, so that users can just keep scrolling down until they get interested in something. In this case, I’d say the page would look like a list of the Latest topics with a “table of content” floated to the right-top corner, e.g. like in some wikis.
Is it possible make avatars a little smaller, something like 32x32 instead 45x45? When I see the new category page my eyes go to avatars immediately.
I think the categories and the titles are the most important things in that page.
@zogstrip this is great! One thing I have noticed (as I’m current on Android, thus the site loads slower) is that the latest side of the screen loads independently of the category view. So, I see the header with loading animation below, followed by category on half of screen with loading animation on right.
Any way to make the screen wait until both halfs are ready before loading?
It just seems inconsistant. I can’t think of anywhere else in Discourse that parts of a view load while others are still loading. The closest analogy I can think of is infinate scrolling, but this seems much more noticible/odd.
I think that the positioning of the unread and new topic counts is confusing because they appear in the Category column when there is a specific Topics column.
I notice that the OP screenshot doesn’t show topic stats outside the Topics column.
Why not move the topic stats and show subcategory stats in that same spot?
