Why is the site automatically loading the response dialog box when you enter a new thread. This is highly annoying.

I liked the website when I just joined, but since then many updates have occurred and most interfere with the user interface. The response dialog is one of them and so is the loading of similar treads when you scroll down to the bottom.

This totally sucks, I start to scroll a thread that I just opened and up pops quick reply, covers almost the entire screen and I have not even had a chance to read the thread in any way, please turn this so called feature off, I have to close it every single window I open.

Count me as another who dislikes (a) the Quick Reply dialog appearing by default and blocking half the window, and (b) the display of "related" threads (which are often anything but). Wasn't there some discussion of getting rid of the related thread display, at least for logged-in users?

Agreed, there's no logic in sending me to the reply box at the end of a thread when I click on the title, I just have to scroll back to the top and actually read the thread.

I wonder who comes up with and implements these 'features' without actually testing/asking anybody. I can't see anyone actually using this and liking it.

Yea sorry guys, but you're going backwards in terms of user interface (and this is coming from an engineer, who's job is to implement change...)

The infinite scroll for the top and bottom header CAN be beneficial, if you have a large enough screen and you're up to using it. My laptop doesn't allow me to do so, and in general my preference is to have the most space to be able to read stuff (infinite scroll takes up way too much space).

Now that I figured out how to go to classic mode, it's pushing me directly to the end of the thread and the quick reply box. Umm...I haven't even read the thread yet?

I know you guys want to push the envelope for "more" and "better" because that's your jobs, but these two implementations are not good ideas.

My complaint about this forum? Is that there aren't more posts and users in the sections I frequent. But that may be my choice of car

Hi everyone,

As far as I know there is a change coming that will remove the 'related thread pop up' for logged in users as it is confusing. I'm also going to ask the 'New Quick Reply popup' be removed or reduced in size. The reply button is in the bottom header of each thread. I'll try to get more info on the schedule today. Thank you.

YES, please!

Hey everyone,

The 'Quick Reply' popup is a bug that should be fixed at the end of the day. Also, we are expecting a update tomorrow or Monday that will allow users to opt out of 'Related Thread Suggestions' by logged in members.

^Good news. Those two new features are super annoying.

Hi,

MBWorld has been updated to the latest version of vB to fix the pop up editor. The quick reply pop up has been removed and quick reply is now at the end of a thread. This update adds the ability to turn off related threads.
The link to disable related threads is under your User Control Panel > edit options > thread display options.

If you find any problems please post in this thread. Thank you.
