Thanks IBanna!

IMHO a totally useless feature! What was the reason for its implementation? I believe there is no benefit to this so called 'feature'. Thank goodness you gave us an option to disable it which I took advantage of it immediately.

Trending Homepage
The way this has been done seems really strange. It may be a great new feature and I may well like it a lot, presenting it to all users so that they get a look at it may be a great idea. Not providing a simple link to see the old Forums List at my whim seems daft. Just a button - "Forums List" - I may well have left the Trending page as my home page if this had been possible. Once a user has gone through the rigmarole to get the forums list back there is no way that I can find to get access to the new Trending page - Perhaps a button - "Trending Topics". It's a Marmite thing - One or the Other - never shall they mix. Finally - the design of the Trending page seems to me to leave something to be desired - I think it is pretty ugly and the use of huge fonts seems to make it that there is not much on the page. I may have other comments on it but I can't see the Trending Page without going through the UserCP and setting the thing back - no thanks. Hope you find my efforts useful. |

FYI the forums list is part of the home page on desktop, and one click away (top right) on mobile! https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....851f898bbf.jpg |
Initially panicked when presented with the new default interface.
Agree with jimjim1. Reverted back to familiar listing. |
Yep, opt out! It should be a smaller pane with the classic listing below

It’s a **** freature. Please revert the default UI back to how it used to be. I don’t care if a thread is trending in some other part of the world or part of the industry. |
I will give it a go to see if it has any benefits, but agree with early comments about the lack of ability to easily switch between views.
But one point of detail when opting in/out of the trending function: ”Disable Trending Threads on Forum Homepage Enable or Disable Trending Threads on Forum Homepage Hide” The use of the word “Hide” against the tick box is confusing when the defined option is “Enable or Disable Trending.....” Surely “Enable” is the correct term? |
To be fair, I thought initially you'd had a coding glitch because it doesn't follow the presentation scheme of the rest of the site, then I wondered whether it was a compatibility thing. Once I realised it was deliberate I wondered why on earth they would want to make it look so amateur and reminiscent of early 1990s bulletin boards.
Luckily I eventually noticed this sticky and am glad there is a way of disabling that eyesore, however I do wonder how long that will last. I imagine that most users here are not 'woke kids' they're, in the main, mature adults with an interest or stake in aviation. Personally I think this change is unnecessary and counterproductive. It would be interesting to see where the justification/research to support this degradation came from. Just to be clear, I don't like it. |
The feature can be useful, as long as:
