I want Content Preferences to be a “gear” icon or a popup menu (View Options) available dynamically for each app. It doesn’t have to be above the fold it could be in the footer next to the Theme drop down.
From a UX stand point in the current implementation users are making an uninformed decision altering a view out of context, or have to decipher from the text and assume the what the change actually does and have to hit a save button. - If you are indecisive or enjoy various views this process is tedious.
If the user was on the forum index and you make the change with one click the change is visible and instant reinforces the intent of the text.
For myself I toggle condensed and expanded view ALL THE TIME. In the current iteration it’s over 6 clicks or more if you trying to get back to the forum / page you were on. This one needs to be restored as a toggle button or view option in the header section (Mark Forum As Read / Sort By / Filter By)
Forum Index View
Table: A traditional forum index table view.
Grid: Display forums as cards in a grid.
Fluid: A simpler dynamic listing topics with a forum filter box.
Fluid view works best with fewer forums with less complex hierarchies. The fluid view selector will only display up to three levels deep.
NEW Content Focused: Card View
Show multiple recent topics from each forum with a grid image for each forum row.
Topic List View
Condensed View: Show topics as a list.
Expanded View: Show topics with a preview of the post.
Topic View
Classic: Show posts with an author sidebar.
NEW Content Focused: Simplified View
Show posts with a smaller and simplified author area above the content.
