User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/The first migrations to the Unified Community Platform/@comment-646133-20201014000207

Here are some of my comments, in case Staff ever reads these (3,578 comments and counting lol)


 * Recent Changes went way down in quality - have to apply filters just to see everything - why not make that the default like the RC prior to migration? Would be great to see everything at a glance (edits, new images, new messages on people’s walls, logged actions, etc).
 * Having “2017 source edit” next to every single edit in RC is pointless and there should be a feature to toggle off those “tags”- it’s simply distracting.
 * Listing “edit | edit source” next to every header on every page is also redundant - one edit link is enough. Users have the option to toggle between source and visual modes when editing anyway?
 * Format of the TOCs on pages (desktop version) is also redundant - don’t need a bullet and a number next to each item in the TOC. Just keep the number instead.
 * Galleries on some pages are now broken which is odd, especially when they were working perfectly fine before.
 * Some pages cut off content due to the number of bytes (?) - this is a downgrade as the pre-UCP was able to display that data.
 * Pages and content take longer to load/feel laggy.
 * No search bar if using desktop version on mobile devices (preferred over mobile version since you can see the colors and other functionalities - mobile version is very plain and bland and takes away from the hard work people put into customization, IMO.
 * Nearly impossible to edit on mobile devices if using desktop version which many people prefer - some pages can’t even be edited with the mobile version.

I’m being patient and waiting to see if all the bugs and issues will be addressed, but it’s definitely discouraging to edit any of the wikis with UCP. Reminds me of the days back when they switched over to Oasis and crammed the pages to include useless content on the right hand side. Just making changes that seem to upset the masses.

That is all.
