New Android Community Handset Sub-Forums Layout

[Vonn]

Is the new layout a journey or a destination?? I, for one, don't like not being able to see all the HTC Hero threads grouped in one place. I don't want to HAVE to click on a thread to see what handset it refers to (if it's not mentioned in the thread's title). Lastly, I just don't 'get' the new layout as an idea because you couldn't say it's either easily navigable or intuitive.

With more handset coming out to the market, the forum will be very messy, tomorrow we will be adding Handset brand tag, so when you create a new thread you can select which handset it is (Under HTC forum there will be G1,Hero, MyTouch, and etc) and readers can filter it too.

Cool! Thanks ewdi.

Wow ewdi. Great job.

PS Im glad you likes my idea about tagging certain posts and being able to filter by tags. Much like Gmail! You rock!

Thanks, yeah it would make everyone's eye happy and not have to read the entire thread to know which model they are reading about

Keep the suggestions coming Skattubrain! Thanks

and ewdi I wanted to add that my comments were about the sub-forums in transition (before the site got new theme). Now, I think AC looks so good - sleek and crisp...and loads so fast it's unbelievable! A huge well done!

Except filtering doesn't work (yet? Or will it only work on new posts created with the handset tag?).

G1 filtering shows no results.

Searching for G1 in HTC handsets doesn't seem to work either.

This looks like a bad idea regardless of the number of HTC handsets as all the old posts are lost in a (much bigger) sea of irrelevant info.

It is only for new threads, because old posts has not been tagged with the filter selection

Oh, I thought that the existing threads from the Hero sub-forum (going right back to what, May or June?) would be available once the new theme was up and running fully. I'd have thought that the existing knowledge would be helpful to new users - does the same apply to G1 posts?
