I am not convinced that the white space issue is solely down to the lack of width of the container and that widening the container would fix the problem. The previous forum design did not have the white space issue but was also quite narrow. But I will await to see the final result for this update. Any fixes to reduce the white space would is welcome.
I agree that the terms "styles" is confusing. I believe most of us in this community are engineers and technical professionals, we are not fashion designers. I do think we need to trim down on the terminology. I have heard parts of the website referred to as boards, forums, cards and styles. I think this is too confusing. Stick to one or two and just use those terms.
I understand the envisioned purpose of the upvote button better now, thanks for clearing that up. I still don’t think it hits the mark in the forum. I scrolled through several pages in the Civil 3D forum and saw only one upvote. I think most users would just reply saying “I am also having this problem” rather than. I am slightly worried that upvoting is a bit lazy. Do you want users to just “like” stuff similar to other relatively soulless communities? Or do you want them to more actively engage with words.
