Community Homepage Updates: Coming Soon!
Hi everyone,
We have another exciting update launching soon - hopefully next week! Our community homepage is getting revamped on the web version and will now replace the /home and /forum pages.
Some other key updates to look out for include:
- Easier exploration and discoveries of communities - which will be expanding soon during our forum restructuring process currently underway!
- The ability to view threads on the same page, as well as heart and comment from that page including an expanded view of content.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Cannot wait to see the new update! Thank you so much 💛
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Could there be a "Goal Setting" sub-community. The idea is to invite witnesses to a goal you may set for yourself. (Small goals, like "washing dishes daily") Or larger and long term goals. Sharing successes and setbacks alike. Get Encouragement, Ideas and Witnesses to your trials, tribulations and accomplisments.
Hey @IsayUncle, nice to meet you. I like the idea of a "goal-setting" forum, where we can set goals, have people cheer us and just some way to keep ourselves more accountable, aye? That'll be amazing indeed.
Wondering if a sub forum from the Positivity and Gratitude sub community can be used for this? Perhaps the Inspiration & Motivation sub-forum or the Moving Forward & Milestones could be helpful? More sub-forums Here. There's also similar forum spaces for goal setting, discussions, inviting a buddy to pair up with in the healthy living sub community also, Here.
If you're further interested, you can submit this form to suggest a new sub-community.
Hope this helps. ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou I think we had an area at one point, although not a full subcommunity. Threads seem to now be under getting unstuck in General Support.
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thank you for a wonderful response. I thought there might be something similar allready out there. I will review those other sub communities this weekend and see if they fit well. They are great suggestions so I will definetly check them out.
@IsayUncle
Aw you're very welcome, I'm glad this was helpful. ❤ Do let us know, if there's anything else too we can assist with.
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
@SoulfullyAButterfly yayy! ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Lol! I was thinking something similar :) But I have a small feeling of dread tbh :P
@mytwistedsoul haha I can relate with that dreadful feeling lol, but I still rolled with it xD "freedom of expression" hellooooo 😂 and wee *high fives* soul, no kidding, I had a feeling you'd reply if you see this and voila!✨
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou 😁 *high five* Too good of an opportunity to miss! ❤️
@mytwistedsoul yay haha! 😆❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou have to admit I'm not crazy about it 😬
@mytwistedsoul about what? 😮
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou The new homepage lol - just take some getting used to I guess
@mytwistedsoul Aw you're definitely not alone with that, Soul lol. Does take time getting used to heh! 🥲
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou change is just hard
Love the melty emoji! 🙂
I cannot wait to see it !
I wish the app had more cap abilities then the web page though :(
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Thanks for the information, sounds exiting!
@SoulfullyAButterfly
we just want dark mode for the site
@AdrienTheWolf The Opera browser has a Dark Mode extension that works on 7 Cups. There might be other extensions for other browsers, but that's the only one I've tried.

Losing the /forum pages makes me a bit nervous but hopefully it all looks great once the change goes through!
@AffyAvo
I'm a 9 month newbie. In your previous post (which was Fantastic), you clarifed a nine month mystery.... where were the sub-communities? It was a true mystery because the "blue box section" was labeled "Communities" and then going into one of those you had "the Forums" and then "the Threads." IF the blue box section was labeled "Sub-Communities" it would have all made sense to a newbie like me.
Now that I do understand it... I also fear the loss of the forums. They are like storefronts, you know where to go to get what you need. I'm now very curious about the new homepage layout.
@IsayUncle Thanks for chiming in. I think that's awesome feedback to hear that the community/subcommunity inconsistency has been really confusing. Hopefully we can make it more welcoming and less confusing!
Forums will definitely still exist, I didn't mean to worry anyone about that! I've just been around for a lot of changes over time and sometimes we lose little things when the formatting changes. I'm quite confident the home page and individual subcommunity pages will all still give forum access. I use this link a lot https://www.7cups.com/forum/ that only has forums - to do things like sort by new threads or search forums. We will see when the update comes I guess and if something useful does get lost we will likely get it back although it can take a while depending on how much work is needed to get it with new formatting.
@AffyAvo
I just wrote you a post and it's gone. Short & Sweet version. Thank you. I wrote my first post in Goals and Accomplishment. And I'm glad not to lose forums, but I know what you mean about changes like this. Sometims things get shuffled about and it could take some time and effort to sort it. It'' all work out for the best, I'm sure.
@AffyAvo this link now direct to this new community page, the forum search option disappeared too
@SoulfullyAButterfly dont like it, it seems at every update you remove the most essential features
Thank you I am looking forward to seeing how it all works 😊
