Implemented What's new button in navigation

[SynoMan]

Hello, dear forum users,

is anybody using this button?

I'm thinking to remove it.



Or I can move it here:

I just want to get some feedback before I make the decision. You can reply to this thread or check the poll above.

Thank you.

No “keep it where it is now option”. We have to deal with it?

 

[SynoMan]

I was trying to avoid that...

But ok, I'll add that option to the poll.

Man, it’s your forum. Do whatever you want

 

[SynoMan]

Sure, don't worry, just checking for feedback

 

[WST16]

Why is it bothering you? I mean do you feel it‘s not logical for it to be there by itself? Or does it make the “weight“ of the page unbalanced or something else?

I'm trying to add a new search system (that works with 3 letters or less), but some code needs to be changed, etc.

Anyway, I think I know what I'll do, but I just wanted to see how many of you use that button to search for new posts (btw, now we have a new block with tabs on forum homepage).

I sometimes find the What's New view interesting but I'm not sure I've used the button to get it.

Though testing it and I think I use the Home view and click View More which is similar to the What's New but with the more helpful vvvvv you've read this vvvvv

I know this kind of illness very well - run for a near perfection stage or do [it] better not just different.
This is the attitude what all of us miss in everyday interaction of common R&D forces to make their product useful. Ask your users.
Thx M8 for your care.
Your forum is even better than original XenForo

So we do have a "New posts" button on top, too, additionally to the "What's new" button. Of course result is different but anyway, I do not care about those buttons.

I rather care about the confirmation popup when marking the forum as read....

So, for less "stress"

A new search engine is implemented (now search works for words with less than 4 letters), the button What's new stays where it is.

A new button for search is added to the header and when you scroll the search will appear in the navigation tab beside What's new button.

The search form is simplified and currently it searches for keywords in thread titles (not thread posts) by default.

Thank you for cooperation.

It's simple, just hit Enter when confirmation pops-up.
