I don’t like how the “unanswered” tab implies that this is a question and answer site like answer hub or stack exchange.I don’t like how the latest tab on the homepage takes up half the screen instead of categories. The capitalization on things is inconsistent. The FAQ’s aren’t questions they are rules. The about section just looks unprofessional to be honest. Categories shouldn’t be in the menu on the top right I don’t know whats going on with that menu. I also don’t know why they needed messages to be in a separate menu beside it.
Is it irony if/that I found this from the “unanswered” tab?

To be fair, the Artwork and Support categories are by far the most important ones here. So while question/answer may not be the exact proper terminology, share/feedback isn’t that far off.
Yeah I completely get the benifit of it and I don’t have a good solution to offer. Its just the first thing I thought of when i saw that was stack exchange and because it was my initial reaction its safe to assume other people will also feel that way initially so personally it is something I would want to address if I were changing things. But these are all just my opinions for improvements I don’t mean to come off as rude or pretentious. I really like some things about the design like how, for the most part it works very well with mobile and i also like the badges system.
That would make sense. One of the guys behind Discourse is also one of the people behind Stack Overflow.
‘Unanswered’ is something I was experimenting with on the test site and it got carried over - it’s not part of the Discourse core. We can evaluate this later and remove/rename if more people feel strongly that this is something we don’t want.
Yeah but my point is that it works perfectly for that kind of site but imo forums aren’t that kind of site. Its like portfolios have different layouts than social media sites ect.
I have to disagree. BBS/Forums were the originators of that sort of thing, but used to be we had to manually edit thread topics to include [solved] at the end of each thread name. Also there was no karma/point system back in the day other than just post count so it was more common for there to be low quality answers to boot.

I understand what you’re saying but its still irrelevent to the original critisism of the button making this site come off as a stack exchange type of site.
If you show the homepage to someone and ask what kind of site is this their immediate assumption might be a question and answer site and thats not what this is.Thats the whole thing with ui is trying to make things intuitive
sorry i just saw this. Yeah I get its a wip. tbh i was surprised out of all the things i said this one was the point to argue because it seems really obvious that a forum isn’t a stackexchange site and this is giving off that vibe.
