Hello!
Firstly I would like to introduce myself. My name is Domas Sabockis and until a couple of weeks ago I was working only on the mobile version of Forum. Now the mobile and desktop teams are uniting their effort and so I will get to work on desktop Forum as well! First thing we’re happy to share is that now you can have your Forum work as a feed. That means you will have a long list of posts like most people are used to see on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. In the “Settings” menu choose “List of All Posts”.
For those who want to fit more posts in less space we just released “Compact” layout! Find this option in the Layouts > Posts page.
And lastly when somebody adds #hashtags to their posts, they will be visible and clickable from the posts list. Click on the hashtag to see all relevant posts and comments!
That is all for now. We would love to hear what you think. Please let us know in the comments!
P.S. Here’s my email domass@wix.com, feel free to share your ideas!
Oh and almost forgot! You can now have different layouts for main page and posts page! 😋
If you have a list of all posts, which I like and agree is the modern way forums look these days, do you still have post categories, entered at
Categories still stay. When you write a post you need to pick in which category it’s gonna be posted :)
OK I have seen that now. I have to say I do not like the user interface for the way categories are added, it feels too lengthy a process and quite clunky, with this extra page coming up every single time. It doesn't encourage speedy use. Also the wording is phrased for entirely new users, I think return users will get fed up seeing "first choose a category"
I'd prefer just "please choose a category"
The word "post" isn't compatible with usage scenarios I have in mind (eg deals, recipes, reviews, news)
Guyz, I've raised this a few times now, but since the last set of updates to the forum (from over a month ago) the Image formatting settings box is whitedout in every forum I have tried to post in, including this one- in other words I can't see the Box Titles - eg alt.txt etc just a rectangle under the image.
Please share a screenshot of the issue :)
Great :)
