Feature update - Threads I’m on / Watching / Started lists

Hi, another quick update about a feature change that was just released.

Following the re-platforming we had a lot of feedback about the threads I’m on/ watching / started lists not being as useful as they used to be.

Changes we've made:

  • The lists are organised by default to show the most recently updated threads apart from threads I started which defaults from new to old
  • There will be a ‘new post’ icon next to the threads that have been updated that will tell you how many new posts there are to read since you last saw the thread e.g. 2 new posts
  • When you click through on the title you’ll land on the last post you read
  • When you click through on a specific post you’ll go directly to that post
  • Deleted threads will still be visible and you have the option to remove them from your list by clicking the three dot menu to the right of the thread title
  • You can still pin threads to the top of the lists using the pin feature under the three dot menu
Hope you like the update!

Functionality seems good but the font and spacing are very big on the mobile site, it takes up far more space on the screen with less information.

Can you maybe make the threat title a different colour/size to the names of the posters in the list? Eh you can see in the attached pic that my name is the same size as the thread title.

Aaaand I just tried out the only feature I thought I'd like. Clicked on the title, and it just took me to the beginning of the thread.

So yeah, bad all round. TIO is my usual landing page for using MN and it's now even less useful and even more annoying.

Don't like TIO on the mobile site. Big and chunky and now only shows the two most recent posts for each thread. Three was bad enough. Means I have to scroll a lot more. Good to know about the clicking in the title though, that sounds useful — but very nonstandard and not transparent.
