Any plans to make this Community more like the BT TV one?

I find the UI here hateful.

Are there any plans to make it more like the BT Community?

Both are Khoros, so the underpinnings should be the same, despite its chameleon-like ability to appear very differently depending how the skinning is done.

This one is running the newer version.  What don't you like about it?

@DarrenDev 

A fair question that demands a fair answer. Bit busy at the moment, travelling, but I’ll work one up when I get some free time.

If this is the newer version, does that mean you are proposing to move the BT Community to this look? I do hope not…

[DarrenDev]

I've just checked, and they're actually the same version now.  I much prefer this community though - much faster to reply, as it adds the input directly to the screen with the full thread (whereas the BT community takes you to a new page, with just the single comment you're replying to).  It's a little annoying that I have to log in so frequently, but other than that I like it (despite not being able to get kudos anymore).

One to be going on with while I align my aquatic wildfowl 😛

This might be a bug….. but which of these posts haven’t I read?

 If I look at the list of unread postings, it tells me I have something to read under ‘Issue with the EE app’, and this is true, but it should be indicated in the display I have screen-shotted by that title being bold; and it isn’t.

This is one of my beefs with the EE Community UI, that I have to use the ‘unread’ list because of the above issue, but it now occurs to me this may be a bug rather than a design issue, because sometimes the emboldening does work, and sometimes, as here, it doesn’t.

I’m using Safari on my iPad Pro; maybe it works fine on my laptop, but I can’t check that until next week. iPads can be a bit of a poor relation on Communities, I find, being portrait devices that aren’t quite mobiles and aren’t quite not.

Maybe someone at EE can check this out; and if it’s a bug, they can fix it, and I can cross it off my list?

(In the meantime, a plus point for the EE Community that I don’t have to shrink my images so I can post them, like I have to on the BT Community).

[DarrenDev]

Ah yes, I've noticed that one myself - although I can't see an option to show the "unread list"?  Where is that?

Regarding the bug - that's one for @NickBS 

[NickBS]

Thanks both. I'll get someone to take a look at this next week - and we can confirm expected behaviour for unread/read UX. 

Maybe in relation to OP vs replies. But we'll take a look and we can raise a bug ticket if needed.

Threads containing unread posts should be in bold in that list. They are for me!

[Chris_B]

Even on mobile unread is bold and read is not. 

 the only post I’ve not read is the middle one.

What browser(s) are you using?

It’s possible this issue only affects Safari - I haven’t managed to reproduce it on Chrome on this iPad so far.

And I have an issue on the Sony Community where formatting I try to apply - Bold, Italic, Underline - appears in the Reply as I type it, but does not appear in the Reply as then displayed in the list of postings. Though it’s still present, as if I Edit the post, it reappears in the post as I edit it. And then disappears again in the list of postings.

It’s as if there is some sort of erroneous format-suppressing bit of HTML up front. Makes me wonder if something similar might be happening here. Or might be a red herring… I can’t get any sense out of Sony on it, though;  they aren’t responsive like you guys.

It never happens on the BT Community though; the boldening always works perfectly there, even in Safari.
