PacmanDo Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Why isn't there a Start new topic button at the top inside each forum when on android mobile? That's why we're here isn't it, to start new topics inside the forum?It seems counter-intuitive to have only one button to Start a new topic in ONLY the forums index page.Especially when we have so much wasted space in a bar to tell us how many topics, an icon for rows, a prev, and next link above the 25 or whatever most recent topics in that forum.Is there a plan to fix the design of the basic IPS theme so it can be more functional for those who want to post a topic in a forum via android mobile?

chilihead Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I agree, it's there on the main site, you expect it there on mobile. You have to scroll to the bottom, makes no sense to me either. It is however at the top of the forum home, just not at the top of each forum.

They've explained this before. I remember I asked in the past since it was inconsistent with the other apps. If I remember, it was because once inside the forum board or topic, a user's intention is more likely to read an existing topic rather than to start a new topic.
Jed Rosenzweig Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I always end up putting those buttons on both the top and bottom of my skins.

Well duhh That is the case in every forum. That is poor logic to use if we are trying to encourage engagement in our forums!!! I would rather promote posting a new topic than keeping the post count space wasting bar.
