What? Now Discussions is hidden? Buried inside another page?

Yes, I agree, the drop down menu was far more ideal. I’m just trying to suppose why it was changed… I certainly can’t imagine the discussion boards being phased out, yikes!

I just noticed this today too! I was confused the first few times and couldn’t figure out why I kept ending up at the community page and just now noticed that the drop down menu was gone.

I’m like “why change this when other things have a higher priority”?!:thinking:

But it isn’t just Viki’s discussion page. Everything on the internet is going the same direction. For instance, now I have to click on 3 different menus just to get to my contact page on email. That’s just one example. Hulu is doing the same kind of thing too. Etc.

I was thinking that: ‘‘if it ain’t broken, why fix it?’’ No one was complaining about the way things were designed before, and now we have to go through a page I couldn’t care less to see before I get here; to discussion…:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Maybe it was done to discourage us to come to --’‘vent’’ in this section? I’m really about to kiss discussion section goodbye (to the relief of many) hahahahaha :rofl:

Well, if they leave things as is, I’ll definitely kiss this section goodbye for good. Too much work…:roll_eyes:

no please don’t do that. :slightly_frowning_face:
I don’t really see the difference any way. it was two clicks and is still two clicks. just on a page instead of a drop down menu. People who are upset, please don’t flag the post :sweat_smile:
I do agree it was completely unnecessary. but I don’t think it’s worth leaving Discussions because of it.Discussions is my favorite place on the website.

I was joking…lol It’s not that much work at all. Like you said the clicks are equal amount and i noticed it goes faster to Discussion this new way (at least for me it does).

The message page is giving me a headache. Pitch black and hard to decipher which I have read and which I haven’t.

I thought there was something wrong as well (as I’ve experienced a few bugs lately),
but it looks like this is part of the new design.

I hope they change it back. The discussion seems to be very important for people who volunteer on Viki.

Yes it is, bc it help us vent with certain issues going on, and that alleviate the pressure of the volunteer work.

I wanted to add a comment on what @lutra said in https://discussions.viki.com/t/discussion-further-and-further-out-of-the-lime-light/24588

(since @irmar directed to this page, I will add it here)

I’m relatively new compared with you guys here at Viki, but I feel the same. I feel like I’m going to do less on Viki in the future :pensive:.

I do hope that they fix everything for the volunteers that are still around and make it a pleasure to volunteer again.
