I am a member of the soon to be Sims Forum. I have also raised my concern in the Forum and will repeat it here. Perhaps this debate has already started somewhere else, but forgive me for not seeing ...
EA_Spectre Allow me to illustrate a problem with the notifications. I choose to use pictures because sometimes they tell more than words.
On the bell I can see that a notification has come to me. Now a whole series of notifications from threads I follow opens up.
I would like to follow the comments in this group and now I expect the notification to take me directly to the latest comments, but instead I end up on the front page.
It is a very active thread which, as you can see, was created 9 years ago.
If I choose to sort by Oldest, I now have to scroll through 2843 answers.
If I choose to sort by Newest, you can see my own answer that was transferred 5 months ago as well as the two newest answers that are in reverse order and several layers.
How should we continue such a conversation?
We can of course create a whole new thread, but since we are, as I said, a fairly active discussion group, we will quickly end up in the same problem.
I have a feeling that all longer threads will never work on this new site (and that it probably was a bad idea to migrate them in the first place).
Maybe for the "The Art of Sims Storytelling" thread a custom tag would be helpful. So people interested could follow the tag and each post would just be one question/thought plus the specific reply.
flauschtrud Unfortunately, I don't know anything about custom tags.....
I can see that all the migrated answers are in chronological order, so I assume it's a matter of settings.
The problem is obvious if all other EA groups prefer the current setting with layers and the "Most Liked". Can we have a Sims Forum with a completely different structure? 🤔 I hope so.
