Yeah, that how I do it, but the problem is with the novice user. Apple did a big re-design in June for this user in mind, but this user type is still having problems.

I wouldn't say it's a bug. If I follow your steps, and I start to make a thread I have to scroll down a ways to see my "post" button. And what do I see when I scroll down far enough?

The interface, by greying out "iPad," tells me I have two options for my post. Put it in "Using iPad" or "iPad in Business and Education." You could argue that it would maybe be better to display that info as a check box or something similar, rather than a text box, but I'd hardly call that a "bug."

There is likely a better way - by guiding folks to either of the two choices (this Parent/Child business takes place elsewhere too) BEFORE offering the Big Blue Button would certainly be a step in the right direction.

Hey, I asked the hosts way back when to look at the Forum through the eyes of a noob and get rid of the search box on the Welcome page altogether. Just make it easy for the OP to ask their question.

I'm hoping someone reading this thread in the future will see there's another simpler way. I like simple. 🙂

yes. it seems the "double duty" search/post new is a "hero" to the decision makers... if it worked as they "hoped" it might still be OK.

The system needs to be a better reader of minds, methinks.

I wouldn't say it's a bug.

A UX bug is like any other bug. You are getting results that you didn't expect. In this case, uses is asked to enter a question. The user enters a questions and gets an error.

If you add 5+5 and get A would you think this was a bug or not. You could say not because didn't you know we were adding in hex. A hex A after all is 10.

The search box may or may not be a good idea. As implemented it isn't. With the Jive "lack of search", search doesn't work. [ Yes, I know Jive has a search, but if you want to find anything, use google. ] Maybe if they were using google search, ASC would have a chance.

I have "heard" that JiveSearch has improved some... I wouldn't know because I found (long ago) Google Site Search is faster AND more relevant.

I wish them all the best. 😀

Maybe with your CSS changes it looks that simple. When you go through the flow you described earlier, you also have to title your thread, write a post, and choose a community for the post to go. It's all spelled out for you. If you just type iPad there the UI tells you that you can't post to "iPad," but that you can post to Using iPad and iPad in Business and Eduaction (check my post you replied to for a screenshot). If you don't put anything there, you can't post. If you try to select a community that doesn't exist or one you are not allowed to post to, it gives you an error and won't post. I can't see where the bug lies.

If you don't check off "I agree to the ToS" when signing up for an online account, and it doesn't let you sign up for said account, is that a bug or user error?

Only Apple would take you through 25 steps to post a question just to let you not post it. Ridiculous. Bye bye dinosaur Apple, hello Android.

bobseufert, you say to click "new" at the top of the page to start a discussion. There is not any "new" at the top of this page. I have been having trouble posting too. Something definitely has changed. In the past, I never had this problem.

Things always change.

Here's the easiest way for me. Instead of going to the Welcome page, asking a question, then being told to post your question and chosing a Forum I start in the Forum I want the question to appear in.

If you want your question to end up in this Forum (Using ASC,) tap Post then Discussion. Your page might not be identical to the one in the screenshot. There are changes to the page as you gain points.

It took me a while to get used to the NEW term = "Post" too (I have cookie cutter posts that are rife with 'em)

Life is a series of changes............
