This was already on the plans to be produced; now, it is finally here!
However, I believe a few things could be improved since this update was implemented today.
To start with, I suggest changing the name of the section from “Forums” to “Forum” since there has only been one forum for Roblox Creators/Developers historically. Secondly, with the recent integration with the Creator Hub page, it would be appropriate to update the website’s name accordingly. For example:
Furthermore, the idea of @Bestspyboy should also be taken into consideration too! It is visually clean and organized because we don’t need to see the duplicated profile picture as well as the title of the website’s name being replicated.
Yep! I don’t go between all three every session, but I do go between them quite often (in many sessions). And I’m sure that many other developers do as well, some probably more than me. So, I would greatly appreciate it.
This is consistent with the behavior before the change (you would have been logged in on different accounts on devforum vs. Creator Hub). It’s just more visible now so understandably it’s a bit more confusing in short-term.
We’re going to make changes over time to pull these two closer together. This is just the first change in a sequence.
There’s an issue where dark mode is forced on the DevForum now, despite light mode selected in settings. This only affects the DevForum, not other Creator Hub pages. Please fix!
If I may make a suggestion, I think it’d be good to integrate the forum stuff with the main top bar a bit more closely, like how Framework does on their website. Look on the right hand side:
I like it, but on mobile i use the dev froum “app” and used to tap the big Devforum tex at the top to get back to the main page, the etra sets kinda a pain I know its new and minor but
Edit: seems like I can still do that, just when i first was trying it kept doing the drop down menu
Have you set your theme preference within the forum settings? While we did just connect the two conceptually, the Hub and Forum are still two separate products. The forum themes are managed through the service we host the forums on.
The square dropdown menu next to your avatar has the forum-specific theme options:
Yes, this is the long-term intent but we have additional constraints to design around at this time that other sites do not have (e.g. unrelated login sessions across two pieces of software).
We’ll get there in the future through iteration. We want to get to a place where there is one session, shared notification systems, etc.
This is an overall nice change, the only problem I find besides the few problems already mentioned is that there’s no compatibility for extensions that change DevForum’s style to give it a nicer look.
