Can't create a POST from within a topic

Integrator.io

FYI It seems that we've lost the ability to create a post from within a topic, instead we need to create it from the general community and select a topic.

Hi @steveklett,

Thanks for bringing this up! We're looking into this and will get back to you.

Hi @steveklett,

You can create a post within a topic by scrolling to the bottom of the first page of the topic and clicking the “New post” button. Can you share a screenshot of the issue you're having?

Thanks!

Hi Kathyana,

I didn't notice the button at the bottom because I didn't scroll to the bottom. I wonder how many people do scroll to the bottom?

In the Community section the New post button is up top (where you'd expect it)

But in a topic, it's not there and it's confusing. Seems like a better ux would be to have that New post button always in the same spot or at least up top.

Hi @steveklett,

Noted! We don't plan to modify the UI soon, but it's now on our list of things to do.

Thanks,

Kathyana

Hey @steveklett …. while we aren't making changes here (as Kat noted), we are working on a broad Community revamp that we are hoping to role out sometime in Q1. Our friend @tylerlamparter is leading that work - hoping to smooth out a number of the friction points in the existing experience. Happy to share more if you'd like to connect. tony.curcio@celigo.com
