- Too many ways to access categories (main ☰ menu, category combo box, category tab).
- Avatar menu and profile page are confusing.
- “Preferences” button behaves like a tab and yet it’s not in the sidebar. It doesn’t even get highlighted (and the current sidebar tab doesn’t get un-highlighted) when it’s opened. This would have made sense if “Save” button saved the setting and brought you back to the previously opened tab, but it only displays “Saved!” instead.
- Also, it’s 2015. Why do preferences still have to be saved manually?
- There’s “Bookmarks” menu in the avatar menu that seems to open a tab in the profile page. However, there’s no corresponding item in the sidebar.
- IMO the avatar menu shouldn’t open a menu and should simply open the user page.
- There can be only one post draft, yet when I open a second tab and do changes, the changes don’t show up in another tab.
- No visual editor. It’s 2015 and this forum software is by Jeff Atwood himself, how can this be?
- No proper help about trust levels.
- Why “Forum is confusing” instead of simply “http://forum.grangerhub.org/topics/forum-is-confusing”? “Clean” URLs…
Sadly, even Jeff Atwood, who’s a senior, highly respected developer, who created Stack Overflow and wrote a lot of PROprietary software, is susceptible to an unfortunate quirk of human mind: openness instantly disables one’s common sense. Use PROprietary software with DRM.
EDIT: I wrote this exact post, but when I tried to post it, it only posted an earlier version. I had to type most of it again.
