Thanks to the community effort, the KDE Forum's structure is clearly much natural now!
Since good investments have been made here, next how about taking steps towards two things. Posting here so perhaps people accustomed with web services read this. Excuse me if this is already on someone's desk. 1. Making forum notifications useful 2. Making forums mobile-friendly 3. Solution to avoid mixing local and archived forums with the global ones Issues I see at least: Ad 1. 1) Actually it's like <<New topic notification - "Calligra">> mail subject and there's no clear idea that it's from KDE. No user name assigned to forum-ad...@kde.org or a [KDE Forum] in the subject. It grabs a few seconds more from every attempt of scanning my mailboxes... 2) Notifications somehow form a true login-walled Internet -- more than github notifications I'd say - clicking on the link for the subject brings me to a login page - quite unexpected on mobile device. So what I do when I expect answer to an important topic is: navigating (nightmare on mobile device) to the topic and click via subsequent pages to find the answer 3) Actually the notifications would decrease the traffic _if_ the content was injected in the notification screen if that's my wish; the forum engine we're using seems to be optimised to boost the visit count to get more from ads... something we totally don't need. Ad 2. The layout is like a single word in width in a phone browser; someone who knows how to apply html screen parameters correctly might be able to fix it (in the style sheets?) for most cases or by googling "phpBB-Mobile". Ad 3. Localized KDE forums (many Persian for example) and archived forums account for quite a few of the entire forum list. [1] Would it be possible to have a filter (ON or OFF by default?) e.g. in the account settings, so actual search results and browsing hierarchy is a bit simpler for many users?
