Put back MY POSTS in the header.

[edhopper]

Before, there was a MY POSTS button that was highlighted if I had any replies.
Now I have to go to My Stuff and then click Posts to see.
Before I could just go on if there were no replies, now I have to remember to keep doing it or I will miss the dialog.
Why was this made more complicated?

1. the my stuff button flashes if you get a reply

.

[edhopper]

6. I sometimes miss that

changing colors instead of flashing would be better. I still don't like the multiple clicks.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

9. You can set it up in my settings to turn a solid yellow.

[edhopper]

10. Thanks

did not know that

[Bucky]

28. Well you should have just *sensed* that's how it works

[edhopper]

32. a lot of "sensing" going on

in the new format.

[Bucky]

33. Close your eyes, Luke

Let the Force guide you in setting up your personalized platform modifications

[Kaleva]

36. It changes color from blue to yellow. Hard to miss

You can also set it to flash or stay solid yellow by going to Settings

[edhopper]

38. I set it to change colors

and went to Skinner mode. Still would like the button on the header. But it works for now.

[Kaleva]

39. Great!

12. My Stuff flashes for all sorts of reasons

For some reason, it is currently for me flashing because of subscriptions. Can't figure out why.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

13. Even as we speak,

mine is doing the same thing.

16. See if my reply to tinrobot helps you.

14. Go to your account settings in My Stuff

Scroll down to My Stuff notifications.

The first option is:

Show "My Stuff" subscription notifications
The "My Stuff" button will notify you whenever someone starts a new discussion in a forum you are subscribed to, or whenever a person you are subscribed to starts a new discussion

Make sure that's a no and that will fix that annoyance.

It drove me buggy until I figured it out, too!

[Donkees]

17. There is no ''My Stuff notifications'' when in Skinner mode

[herding cats]

19. I've not really tried out Skinner Mode

As such I wasn't aware of that.

[edhopper]

25. I am in Skinner mode

there are MY Stuff notifications.

[Donkees]

27. I only have "General, Visual, Social Media Integration"

[Kaleva]

40. There may be a new OP in one of the groups you subscribe to

You can go to settings to change that. I changed mine so that it only notifies me if there's a response to one of my posts

[question everything]

22. Still, 2 clicks instead of one. The most common and annoying feature of DU4

[claudette]

30. Mine doesn't flash

It just turned yellow. I didn't do anything to make it go that way.

[sybylla]

35. Mine has never stopped flashing.

Doesn’t do me much good to flash if clicking on it just takes me to a menu.

[Kaleva]

37. The flashing lets you know more then just if there's a reply

In settings, you can choose to be notified if there are new OPs in groups you subscribe to

2. First of all

what's your problem with that if "My Stuff" is flashing? Secondly, why don't you PLEASE put DU4 comments in Community Help?

[Scottie Mom]

5. I don't think the post was requesting "help."

It was requesting a change.

[edhopper]

7. Exactly

[Elessar Zappa]

41. There might not be any changes, Earl G has already done a ton of work to get us this new version.

People are going to have to adapt or just stop coming to this site.

[Celerity]

3. you can switch to the 'badge' option, no more flashing but it still shows a wee 'new reply' icon when someone replies to you

[stuck in the middle]

4. Yeah, I want YOUR POSTS in my header.

[Jilly_in_VA]

8. My Stuff

was there before this last go-round. I don't really have a problem with it. Sorry you do.

[Emrys]

11. I posted a similar suggestion/request in Community Help

If you agree with it, you might want to add your voice there: https://www.democraticunderground.com/125622855

[CousinIT]

15. You can switch back to Skinner mode/old interface. n/t

[Emrys]

18. I'm afraid that setting doesn't address the issue ed and I raised. n/t

[edhopper]

20. I did

I like it better. Still have the "My Stuff" triple click to get to posts. But better than in DU4.

[Renew Deal]

23. That doesn't fix the menus.

My Posts is still under My Stuff.

[Disaffected]

21. YES!

[33taw]

24. Just demands. Does anyone say "please'?

The administrators are likely overwhelmed. Can we act like civil humans in our requests?

[edhopper]

26. There is nothing rude

or ill tempered in the language of my OP.
It was a straight forward request.

[33taw]

29. Put back MY POSTS is screaming in internet speak. How about simply saying

Please put back My Posts where I can easily access them. I know which request I would put on top of the to do list.

[edhopper]

31. I see

I all capped My Post in the title because when I first wrote it, it did read to me like I was clear i meant the POSTS button.

Sometimes all caps is just emphasis or designation and not screaming.

[Blues Heron]

34. how anybody could think adding in a bunch of menu diving would be an improvement is beyond me.

we need less menu diving not more.
