Don't understand why its so hard to find the forums

[danman613]

I've spent a lot of time and eventually gave up trying to find out how to get to the general forums page, which never have I had an issue with in any other forum. Can somebody help me find the general forums list or explain why its so hard to find?

I agree if you are on your mobile device it can be frustrating. much easier to find on a computer. Only thing i can tell you to do is rotate your phone so that it is sideways and then the forums option will show up.

Maybe we can use this feedback to make it easier!

Can you explain what forum you’re looking for or is it the whole list of forums?

Also is this on your phone or laptop?

Pretty simple. Click 3 bars. Click Forums.

this is interesting to me because when i click the 3 bars my button for the forums is all the way near the bottom, not right under the home button.

it is near the bottom because the item above (HOME) is expanded. The main sections expand and collapse. That is what the little triangle symbol to the right of each menu item is.

I find this easy to use to be fair.
The ZEOVIT forum(which I think was designed in 1994)less so :face-with-tears-of-joy:

This is shear brilliance, you have transformed my life today :) see told you all, tech allergic!!! sorry @danman613 i no longer feel as i did...

I personally prefer the Forum menu as the "mobile homepage" rather than "lastest posts"

On my laptop I click "todays posts", which brings you to all the latest posts.

On the phone, in "todays posts" section, I drag the screen down which refreshes the page.

Maybe a difference between Android and iPhone?
I retract my previous statement as Bean Animal already fixed Jason.

Mine is all the way up top.

Thanks a ton! That solved it.

LOL, try being 60 with the Tech Allergic problem. Last time I was great at tech was when computers ran on DOS.

I see the forum list on the right side of my phone screen when I click the three horizontal lines. My question is how is someone who doesn’t speak Icon supposed to know that they can get to the forums by “clicking on” the “3bars” icon? It looks like a design feature or decoration and nothing else tells me to “click on it “ or even tempts me to try clicking on the button.

The icon is not iconic so it’s not intuitive to people who grew up with English explanations of how to use or operate a device.

All these button icons don’t mean mulm.

I know very late reply but I think it will confuse many people like me to have the forums access link in the top left drop down menu also be the header of the drop down menu. Please just put an all forums link as the first item in the drop down menu for those of us who didn't realize you can click on the dropdown menu header.
