Enhanced Forums Experience

Hi everyone,
We recently rolled out some enhancements to the Discuss section of E-Learning Heroes in response to feedback from our avid members. The overall goal was to make it easier for you to jump right into the discussions you care about via a few key improvements:
-
Now you can hover over the Discuss link in the header and directly access the most popular areas within the forums:
- We created a new All Products view and, for the suite of Studio products, have added a Studio view to make it easier to access the conversations within that group. Both can be found via the Discuss home page or via a secondary navigation bar within the product forum section:
- While in either All Products or Studio we will display the specific product forum of each post so it's easy to determine if it's relevant to you:
I hope you enjoy these enhancements and find the forums easier than ever to navigate.
- Brian

Hi Brian -
Thanks to you and your team for doing all of this! I've noticed these features but then think "Wait - was that here before?" So clearly what you're doing is quite seamless, but I've noticed I'm able to navigate discussions much more quickly.
Also - and I know this isn't about the Discuss area - but I awhile ago I noticed that the comments per page in the challenges seemed to get much longer. That's really helpful and I appreciate it very much.
Thank you again!
Awesome, glad you like it Jackie!
And you're right; we did expand the # of replies and comments per page. It's definitely more efficient to read through long threads now.
Thanks!
I like the new hover over on the "Discuss" link. Less clicks is a good thing.
The Discuss links don`t work on iPad.
This may have been mentioned before, but here it goes:
When viewing a thread, I can click the 'Bookmark' link and it changes to 'Bookmarked'. I can also toggle that link. When I click on 'Subscribe' it does not change to "Subscribed" immediately. Only after I leave the thread and come back to it, I see the "Subscribed" indication. I'm on IE11.
Thanks Michael! I'll file these issues.
I looked into this further and can't reproduce the problem. On the first tap on Discuss, the menu opens. At that point I can tap any of the links or tap on Discuss again to go to the home page. That's what we intended so please let me know if it's not working in that manner for you.
