We're changing the functionality slightly to make it more consistent. That means that clicking on your username will take you to your overall profile, where the settings are located, and clicking on "My Profile" (top left in the forums) will take you to your forum profile, with posting history etc.

This change will be finished today smile

Thank you.

I used to get a page of two columns
Left column was threads I created, right column was threads I'd posted in
I could scroll back through the months

It's gone frown

'my topics' inside 'my stuff' in 'my profile' above left if you can find it
not the usual 'my stuff' at the top right of here

So it takes like 4 clicks to do what used to be 1 click and the "my stuff" button doesn't work with my adblocker enabled

Just click on your own name from any of your own posts, then click on the forums tab. It's the way I have always done it since the year dot.

This is poor. If the functionality was going to be replaced with something else, at least put that in place before you remove the old way of doing it.

When in the forums, if you hovered over the menu titles at the top , you used to get a thumbnail picture and link to articles. Now there's just a list of links. That is awful, much worse than before.

And I cannot access anything properly in my account area sometimes. Clicking on 'my stuff' or 'may account' returns no action at all. Occasionally working....

This is probably already known as everything seems to be getting rolled out in stages, but...

When hovering over the post links to choose one they are all highlighted/underlined (just like a normal hyperlink) - making it difficult to determine which thread you are hovering over at a glance.

The month at the top also highlights - as below.



On another note - I imagine most users preferred the old way. It was commonly accessed functionality that has now been made difficult to navigate to. I'm not a user experience expert, but I am a user, and this change is cumbersome.

May I ask which adblocker you using to help us reproduce the issue please?

Added to the backlog, thanks for the great feedback!
