Question

A huge step backward--what are you guys thinking?

Is the new community your idea of an improvement? It is anything but an improvement. Several important threads I started have lost content. When I try and type a response, I can't see the entire response I am creating--it only allows me to see a couple of lines at a time.

I am a long-time Sonos user, and I feel that I have been slapped in the face. Sonos no longer has my endorsement.

    I have been on the Sonos forum since 2007 but now I am a "Novice"!
    You can turn that off, in Settings/Settings.

    Where has the unsupported area gone?

    Errr.. it's not supported? On the other hand it could be that the threads have simply not been sorted, post-migration.

    How do I see New Post since my last visit?

    Activities/Active since last visit
    However it's not terribly informative as it stands. You'd need to click through to the forum then hit View to jump to the last post.
    And the last post times appear to be stuck at European Time with no user time zone control.

    Quick note - the spiritual successor to the 'unsupported area' is the 'advanced setups' forum, where that content has been migrated to:

    I can see other stuff in there which was very definitely not 'unsupported'. Could you please share the mappings you used for all the old forums?

    What functions do you feel are missing most that you'd like to see on the community here? I see you've added a few things to the Wish List thread. Let us know what you're missing, we'll see what can be added and what can't. Some features that can't be added now may be available in the future too, so please let us know.

    For me, I came in daily to the forums, clicked "New Posts" and read through topics of interest. I learned a lot that way or could occasionally help others. And That way I could quickly just stay up to date on the forums. Is there something comparable here?

    Also all this white space, and then the design trap that sites think is right (white is clean), so you give us a page with white, grey, and lighter gray. check out http://contrastrebellion.com/

    My 2 cents.

    Ok, I found under activity, Activity since last visit. It works good enough for me. Now just lose all this white space.

    http://contrastrebellion.com/ (and the content presented) should be Required Reading.

    Ditto here. Also missing an Advanced Search feature.

    Though I will admit these and other peeves may already be solved and I'm just not aware of them.

    Still finding my way around but getting to see the new posts since my last visit is much harder now, why as the "new post" button been removed? When I do get the new posts up they do not seem to say when their thread was started only when the last post was made. I am missing this functionality!

    Also - No preview?

    My private messages are gone. I asked where they are. No answer.

    The Dutch Forums are gone. The French Forums are gone. The Spanish Forums are gone.

    So I'm not satisfied, not by a long shot.

    Night Mode Eye Guard makes it easier on the eyes. I'm sure that alternatives exist for Chrome and Safari. Unfortunately the website still shows up white for half a second after a refresh.

    The amount of white really doesn't work when viewing at night. Would be great to have an option to reverse the colours as a user setting, like some other forums allow.

    For those on iOS devices, one potential solution (not ideal) is to use the accessibility mode and set it up with the home button (3 clicks to change mode). Works reasonably well. Might be something similar available for Android devices.
