Re: Navigation Feedback
Is there a way to change boards without someone having posted on it recently? I may be just missing it, but I can't change boards to just see what is posted.
Also, will there be a list of boards as a sidebar or something for simple navigation?
Are you wanting to browse the boards? Or find a specific board that you know exists?
That option currently doesn't work. It just shows a list of boards but you can't access any of them.
The breadcrumb is fine. It is on the site the way it is now too.
I like to look at specific boards and I think that is a much harder way to get there, even if it worked.
I think that it is going to make board discover-ability really bad. Whatever the default board is will get bombarded with posts because it won't be obvious that there is say a DIY board.
Also can we do something for those is us with long names. Mine spills over into the posts.
Makes it hard to test it out.

I do think the anonymous polls are best. Having it public might make people with a less popular opinion shy away from answering certain questions like, "Oh Staar hates pie. Lets lower her point total!"
Navigation is really poor. If I was a new user, I probably wouldn't come back because everything is jumbled and new (or more relevant) boards are VERY hard to find.
I don't like the rated answers. This isn't Yahoo Answers. That encourages people with a similar problem to not read all the responses just the one that the OP thought best. Which might be something horrible like, "Not everyone needs chairs! It is your day, do whatever you want!"
I would be okay with badges if I wasn't notified on the side of my screen any time ANYONE got one. Same with the profile comments. I don't need to see that Muppet posted a gif on cmgilpin's profile, no matter how awesome it is.
Notifications are amazing. Please, please, please keep those.
Flagging a post is way easier. I was never able to do it on my desktop before for some reason.
I don't care for seeing avatars everywhere on the main page. Could be just me, but I don't need to see my avatar 20 times in a row since I responded to a bunch of posts.
Totally random but I liked the space between post content and user's signatures. Now that it is gone it all feels close together.
I didn't realize you could see what people are posting on other peoples boards because i added the content so I thought I could see it just because I posted it, but if you had to see a feed of all my ridiculous gif giving, I could see that being wicked annoying!
badges i don't care about so I def don't want to see anyones
I keep wanting to say basically, that this isn't facebook... why make it facebook? Also, I see that you can add FB to it but who the heck is going to add that? I don't want people knowing my info off the bat. i'm not super secretive but I don't like that.

@caitmLA - I want to add my intense hate of the lack of privacy. Mods can now see IP addresses and personal emails. Not okay. This is very personal data. If I wanted to share my email address I would, I do not want someone I don't know to be able to use it.
As a techy, I know that posting IP addresses is a bad idea. It is super easy to get someone's location from it and with a little knowledge, could access the computer remotely and plant malware.
If that feature stays, when this all goes live, I will tell other users and stop posting. This isn't safe at all.
@caitmLA - While I understand that the mods are supposed to be trusted users, that isn't always the case. There is a known troll as a mod on Wedding Woes. Also, mods have gone off the deep end in the past. Like when the Chit Chat mod banned almost every reg on the board in one morning because she was upset.. What would stop anyone from using IP addresses maliciously?
I appreciate that you are taking our concerns seriously. I know I am not the only one with this issue. Hoboken posted about it on a thread called IP Addresses that she doesn't think it is safe either and she is a mod.
