Question about recent changes (March 27, 2023)
Looks like there have been some changes.
Is this the plan for how members and listeners will now appear ie. instead of a square-ish shape member profiles are now circles the same as listeners? This seems to be profiles, forums, group chats, etc. I preferred the old way, it made modding the forums easier, knowing who was a listener in the group chats easier, etc.
Are there any other site changes?
@AffyAvo Yes I have similar concerns raised with me re the difficulties modding, it has also been raised here by @sunishiningandsoareyou and @RarelyCharlie https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdates_100/Feedback_37/ForumFunctionalityProvideFeedbackHere_274852/?post=3238239

@MistyMagic ooh I just saw this! :o
So agreed! Having a space for informed changes, even bugs would be much appreciated!
@AffyAvo It would be good to start an 'Updates & Changes' thread too (like this one, thanks) so everyone is kept informed and we can have input or reasons for changes such as this?

@MistyMagic But who would post the reasons in the thread? If I remember right, a previous Head of Product (whom you may remember), despite being very active in the forum, was very inconsistent when it came to explaining design changes or ensuring that features discussed in the forum were implemented.
Oh look! Item 6 in Top Ten Most Wanted Bugs / Issues / Fixes ~ Nov 2015 was:
6. Some way to distinguish members and listener profile images

@MistyMagic Yes, I have found in the past not all changes were communicated. I understand small things aren't always worthwhile of a site-wide notification. There can be some impacts that people don't always pick up on though, so would love an ongoing thread just to keep us up to date.
@AffyAvo
Hey Affy! This is not a planned change by the team and it is a bug as there were no updates to the community about this change. We do try to regularly update when there are big changes to the site through the monthly community updates in Glen's nook, through various ways like feature updates by @SoulfullyAButterfly and @Heather225, and the forum functionality thread. Anything that wasn't mentioned in an update is likely a bug and is to be reported to either one of us mentioned prior. Will look into the suggestion about the thread.
@CheeryMango Thanks! That's a relief. I'm glad to see things back to normal!
Is it a bug that I keep seeing the word 'bug' around a lot? xD
@DonaldDraper 😂
@DonaldDraper
We have a few because they are doing a lot of behind the scenes work, so they are bound to occur!
