Suggestion On Formatting

I noticed you're reformatting a bit and I think it would be nice if you could have the "Recent Activity" page setup more like the old one but looking like the new one, let me explain:

The old setup was easier to use in that we're used to it, we saw only the artist's name and the gear spotted with them, we didn't see the source unless we chose to click the "Learn More" button, with the current setup we see everything whether we want to or not and it takes up a lot more screen space, another thing was in the old setup we could scroll down forever whereas now there is a "See More" button I for one would always scroll down forever and look for artists I knew, it's a bit harder and more annoying with the new setup so I'm suggesting 4 things:

  1. Keep the side panel on the right of the screen.

  2. Add a Minimize/Maximize button on the submissions.

  3. Get rid of the "See More" button on the bottem of the screen.

  4. Keep the Artist Gear/Reviews/Gear Photos Banner up top.

Hope you consider my suggestions, Thanks in advance.

GEAR:
  • Washburn T-24 Taurus Bass
  • Gibson EB-3
  • Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro Koa - Limited Edition

Great suggestions. Here are my thoughts:

Keep the side panel on the right of the screen.

Will do. Also thinking of adding trending or recent forum topics as a module on the sidebar.

Add a Minimize/Maximize button on the submissions.

I hear you on this one, and it was actually slated to go into this release but we nixed it to make the Friday deadline! We'll probably take inspiration from reddit here and have the option to view "card" or "compact", like this.

Get rid of the "See More" button on the bottom of the screen.

Unfortunately we have to keep the "See More" button. Because of the way elements stack on tablets and phones, if it was an infinite scroll you would never be able to reach the elements below. That said, right now the "See More" button is too light and hard to see, we'll make it darker and more obvious.

Right now it shows 10 cards by default, but perhaps if you opt for the compact view we can do more like 20 or 30 so you can scan more at once.

Keep the Artist Gear/Reviews/Gear Photos Banner up top.

Will do.

is there a way we could have more filters for the feed, like a way to just show artists and users we're following for instance? for when I'm not moderating and just want to find my favorite stuff?
