Make forum post's design better
VRB posted a topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Hello, I have a suggestion for the forums. How about adding a ": "(colon and a space) after Location info or simply removing the text "Location" from the post/comment author pane. Its really annoying(I hope many would have felt the same). Current issue: My suggested change would be: Thanks!

In the "Reply" section of a thread we can use the "at" sign and type someone's nick to create a 'whatever-it's-called' that notifies that user. Most of the time I have to enter pretty-much the entire nick to get the one I want. It would be better if the software put the nicks of the people who have already posted to the thread at the top of the list. Having the 'current thread users' nicks at the top of the list would make it much easier to select them. -
Apologies for posting this here but, as you will read later, there wasn't anywhere else for me to put it. There have been a few times where I have needed to ask a question about the forum itself - not the software, just the forum website - and have had to put my post somewhere - like here - that seems inappropriate. Would it be possible for there to be a "Forum Questions" section just for people asking about the forum software? You could pin tips and information up there too so people know how to conduct themselves. Or what about a "Website Questions" section where people could also post about things on the main Affinity website and Affinity Spotlight too? I have a couple of questions to ask and I really don't want to have to put them in the "Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing" section, but there's nowhere else that I can see.

I didn't know where to post this issue as it's not about the Affinity software itself, so apologies if it's in the wrong place. Earlier today, once I'd added someone's nick to the start of a new post - using the 'at' symbol - I found that I couldn't paste text into the post or delete the nick. I had to submit the post and then add another after it: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/72823-i-would-like-to-know-where-can-i-get-a-newsprint-style-filter/&tab=comments#comment-382498 Could someone have a look and see if it was just me doing something wrong please?

Using the latest Mac version of Firefox, I just spent the past half hour trying to join your forum but kept getting the message "You did not pass the security check. Please try again." There was no clue what the failure was or how to fix it. I was about to give up when I thought maybe I'd try once more with Safari. This time the Security Check had a Captcha in it. Apparently, the Captcha isn't working in Firefox. I just thought you might want to know about this. I'll attach a screenshot of what I was getting. As long as this gets to the right people there should be no need to actually post it on your forums. <Pic containing email address removed by mod>

I'd prefer to avoide to post already existing topics. Therefore it would be very useful, to make the search option/filter "Search in This Forum" working. At least as long the UI contains issues it would help a lot in any search for "windows" not to get results relating the Windows operating system within the Mac forum.

I have seen that this forum has a section where people share the work and it would seem ideal for me to have a social network with this initiative. Some of us already do it in the social networks that exist, but if there was one of Affinity, it could be used for everything that this web page serves. -

Hi all, I don't know about everyone else but I sometimes get confused with posts that don't mention whether its Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo. I really think there should be sub forums under Questions for Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo or make a tag or label that indicates which of the programs is being discussed, as it is I think its a bit of a mess. Another option would be to replace the bullet point with the appropriate programs logo or at least change the colour of the bullet so that posts with pink bullet points are for Affinity Photo? what do you all think? Got an idea yourself? -
Bonjour et bonne année à tous !! Un petit message pour vous informer que je viens d'ouvrir un forum en français pour les personnes comme moi qui ont des difficultés avec l'anglais. Je tiens à préciser que je ne suis pas un utilisateur confirmé des applications Affinity, j'en suis qu'au stade de l'apprentissage, mais si je peux aider et en fonction de mes connaissances et disponibilités, je le ferai volontiers (20 ans avec les outils d'Adobe surtout Indesign). Débutants et qualifiés soyez les bienvenus ;) MiKL www.affinity-forum.fr

There's lots of good things in this forum, but they can be hard to find and it's difficult to browse as people seem to post questions and comments into any area. Probably where they happen to be at the moment. It's understandable, perhaps, and may be viewed as a usability issue rather than a user problem. A simple way to cope with this is to just use tags rather than 'folders'. Have both the user-entered ones, as now, plus required choices. Choices should include AP, AD or both Question, Comment, Bug, Tutorial or Resource Also allow moderators to correct these. Then make it ultra-easy to filter on these.So I just click 'AP' and 'Tutorial' to see real tutorials for Affinity Photo, not random questions about anything. Or even have links already up for each combination. You could also offer a tag cloud for user-generated tags. Tx -
Hi . I am new to Affinity Photo. When I create a gradient layer and make my gradient, and then go on to something else. If I want to go back and adjust my gradient. Can and how can I do it. -
Hello, On the iPad, I have click twice to enter a forum thread. I'm assuming that there is a roll over that gets activated on the first click. I believe there is a simple CSS branching that can be done to disable the rollover for touch devices. Thanks!

I use these forums quite a bit to discover how to use Affinity better. These forums however… I'm not sure what is powering them, I guess InVision? I think this is a sub par experience for a number of reasons: - Does not respond effectively to mobile devices - login/lout out is clunky and I often loose my session and have to re-login - Feels super old This last point is hard to nail down but should be fairly apparent. It feels like using a bbs/phpbb form from 2002~ish. There are a lot of great tools for managing communities and forums and as someone who used to work with clients who used InVision is not a good option. To put it simply This (https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/) and This (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php) feel like they come from a different century. Some alternatives: - https://muut.com - http://www.discourse.org - http://zendesk.comexample>>> https://support.todoist.com/hc/en-us Apologies if this sounds overly negative, affinity designer is awesome.

Hi all, I've finally got some more artwork to post, but the uploader won't let me use that extension (jpg) or Pinterest weblinks, but PDFs are fine: also my upload limit has not been exceeded yet. Any ideas? peter -
Hey there, I think it would be useful to have different subforums for bugreporting for each software. At the moment, e.g. bugs for AD and AP are both reported in one subforum although there are even subforums for Bugs on Windows and Bugs on Mac. One level more would give a more clear/tidy overview. Greetings, Johannes. -
Hey there, it would be nice to have a prefilled template for reporting bugs when clicking the Start a new Topic button in the related subforums. The people then have a rough guide to pass the right/better information you (Serif) need to solve the described bug. It is a very common pattern used across software support forums that are heavily customer driven. E.g., I remember last time when reporting bug I forgot to mention the version of AD. This could've been helpful in the first place. Greetings, Johannes

Can I please stay logged into the forums for longer than not? Given my occasional use of this website, the "Remember me" option at login seems completely nonfunctional. Checking the cookie lifetimes I guess that only lasts a couple days. I'd rather expect this to last a year (resetting the timeout with every visit). -
Is it just me, or did somebody else also has the impression that creating a BBcode "numbered list" doesn't work here? Let's test, below a numered list: one two three four five And the result is ... well it seems it doesn't work here with the forum WYSYWYG editor! <_< :wacko:

Hi Admins, it is very hard to see topics for APhoto and ADesinger. I think it would make sense to separate the areas Photo and Designer in the forum - or at least a selection point with new text to Photo or Designer. Some users already do this well with [APh]. Flag Forum Text to Photo or Designer One reads and reads, then it is the other area. Annoying. Help would be very good here. Greets und thanks Dieter -
Hi, Just to report I've noticed that you changed the names of the titles in "Affinity Beta Support" I suggested. Thank you. -
When I insert a new post and I want to add some tag, I write them in "Topic Tags" field. The problem is that while I'm writing, there's no autocompletition for tags, allowing bloating of them. If I want to add, for example, forum tag, I can write forum, forums and so on. If there were an auto-completition mode for tags (like in StackOverflow) it will be possible to reuse existing tags more efficiently.

I'm a member of this forum for a few days now and I am a anonymous reader for a while and there something that bothers me quiet a bit: pretty much all the subforums are not separated by product (designer/photo) which makes it very difficult to recognize the relevance of a post for me or a certain product. Wouldn't it be much more convenient to get separate subforums for each product in the main areas (like tutorials, for example) or at least giving each thread a praefix (like [AD],[AP]) by having the OP selecting the coresponding product when opening a new thread? You kinda already did that within the beta-support, why not on the other subtopics? ps: i didn't know where to put this question, as it is more forum relevant than product. -
Hi, After reading a post the top bar of the forum has scrolled out of the screen; that top bar often contains useful links for a next planned action. Instead of scrolling up again or hitting the Home button on the keyboard it would be more convenient if the three bars on top always stay visible/ where they initially are. Thus when scrolling it would be ideal if only the area below the three top bars actually is scrolled. Roberto -
I had left a browser tab open on a page of TraceyW's recent topic [1.5.0.5] Where is the Flood Fill tool, but when I tried to refresh the page this morning I saw the message "Sorry, we couldn't find that! You do not have permission to view this topic." It was a perfectly legitimate support question, sparking some lively discussion, so why has it disappeared from view?
