I get rid of chats, likes, and badges. Now I’m figuring out how to move ‘profile’ to the top (because people click on their profile not in hamurger-forum to configure the forum).
That’s a lot too and probably bad to our users UX:
Really, two files and no columns, and a row that not fits in the screen? How many people do you think that uses the arrow on the second file?
The same ‘user’ icon three times?
People get scared when there are too many options and I suspect that explains why the majority didn’t update their profile, invite people or use the tools built on Discourse (pretty good ones).
That’s probably more related to no-dev tribe than dev one. And I totally understand if core team probably see this OK but the majority are not agree and that defines your target.
I hope it helps. And please, sorry about my language that probably could sound different from I want to communicate. I know I need to improve a lot my english!
