Could we get at least an option to turn off post previews when browsing categories? Usability of these forums is still a fraction of other discourse based forums. Here’s an example:
BlenderArtists:
Blender DevTalk:
Both of these sites have the main page where you can see both categories as well as recent post on the same page. Epic’s custom discourse redesign has killed this option.
This means user is forced to search for interesting topics in categories. But while on the vanilla discourse, the category pages look like this:
and this:
visiting one on these forum is instant migraine and sensory overload:
It’s just a visual noise wall of text one has to spend tedious effort on to visually extract the thread titles.
Either fix the category topics display or at least give us the good old discord back where we can see categories and recent posts at the same time. Epic’s redesign is probably the worst discourse customization in terms of UX I’ve ever seen.
