Are you finding DU4 easier or harder to use than DU3? [View all] highplainsdem Nov 2023 OP

I voted slightly easier Bettie Nov 2023 #1

It's mostly fine now that I've used it for a while LymphocyteLover Nov 2023 #2

You can change that in your account settings (click on the "My Stuff" tab at the top to find it). n/t demmiblue Nov 2023 #5

Thanks! LymphocyteLover Nov 2023 #8

De nada! demmiblue Nov 2023 #11

you can switch to the 'badge' option, no more flashing but it still shows a wee 'new' icon Celerity Nov 2023 #20

thanks! LymphocyteLover Nov 2023 #48

The worst thing about DU4 is/was the bitching and moaning about DU4. demmiblue Nov 2023 #3

One of the saddest things about DU4 is some DUers showing how little they care highplainsdem Nov 2023 #6

I'm sure most of the problems have been sorted out, as they were when DU2 transitioned to DU3. demmiblue Nov 2023 #9

Similar to the bitching and moaning about ChatGPT. honest.abe Nov 2023 #71

Neither easier nor harder Sympthsical Nov 2023 #4

it is far better on a smartphone than DU3 was Celerity Nov 2023 #22

On my IPhone I read a post MOMFUDSKI Nov 2023 #44

THIS!!!!👆 bamagal62 Nov 2023 #53

Same with Android. I don't bother checking DU on my smartphone any more. Oopsie Daisy Nov 2023 #77

neither Orangepeel Nov 2023 #7

It is different to me, but not harder. I like some of the graphics changes better than others. Chainfire Nov 2023 #10

I'm already used to it. MineralMan Nov 2023 #12

It is also less community bonding.... FarPoint Nov 2023 #13

Curious about what you mean by "less community bonding" - would you explain? highplainsdem Nov 2023 #19

I use DU in my iPhone and never saw that feature. yardwork Nov 2023 #24

DU3 - for people using phones here - would have been helped tremendously by a tab saying "Mobile Navigation" and highplainsdem Nov 2023 #33

Agreed. Absolutely my feelings too. Everything feature was visible and easy to access. brush Nov 2023 #55

It's not harder Tracyjo Nov 2023 #14

I use a bunch of audio workstations and plugins. DU 4 is as easy as pie. Marcus IM Nov 2023 #15

When asked for her first impressions of living in the White House, Michelle said: cbabe Nov 2023 #31

I like pie too. Stuart G Nov 2023 #86

I think it's great. chouchou Nov 2023 #16

For me the change was like getting used to a new car. Talitha Nov 2023 #17

Harder but change is necessary so I didn't complain. Hope22 Nov 2023 #18

I find Rebl2 Nov 2023 #21

I use DU on my phone and 4 is slightly easier. yardwork Nov 2023 #23

I wish they would get rid of My Stuff flashing all the time. LOL That drives me nuts. nt Quixote1818 Nov 2023 #25

Click on "My Stuff" and then "account settings" Nittersing Nov 2023 #29

Thanks! Fixed. I was constantly clicking on it to get it to stop flashing Quixote1818 Nov 2023 #34

Both versions had/have their positives and negatives. Emrys Nov 2023 #26

I'm in Skinner Mode. mzmolly Nov 2023 #27

I find it different. Pharlo Nov 2023 #28

Just different Nittersing Nov 2023 #30

Now that I'm used to it and found out how to make "MY STUFF" stop flashing, Ocelot II Nov 2023 #32

About the same. 2naSalit Nov 2023 #35

It's about the same for me. Was easy to use before and easy now. Quixote1818 Nov 2023 #36

I voted Slightly Harder Jilly_in_VA Nov 2023 #37

No difference between the two would be my answer. Merlot Nov 2023 #38

Not harder, just not used to it.. I miss the opening page of DU3 Peacetrain Nov 2023 #39

Sadly, DU4 has done nothing to improve my experience. In fact, niyad Nov 2023 #40

'Slightly Harder' - for me that has been good. alittlelark Nov 2023 #41

It doesn't seem different to me. David__77 Nov 2023 #42

It's a lot like when my local grocery store decides to rearrange the layout. AlGorerhythm Nov 2023 #43

For me, it's almost the same because I'm only on GD ecstatic Nov 2023 #45

not harder or easier Kali Nov 2023 #46

To everyone posting and voting in this thread EarlG Nov 2023 #47

Thanks EarlG Emile Nov 2023 #62

I know you're working hard to tweak DU4's design and try to fix bugs, EarlG, and I appreciate that, highplainsdem Nov 2023 #84

Slightly harder but FemDemERA Nov 2023 #49

I like it on my phone but on my desktop there's waaaayyy too much white space. CrispyQ Nov 2023 #51

iPhone. More scrolling. Two clicks to see responses underpants Nov 2023 #52

.The Faux pas Nov 2023 #54

somewhat different appearance... mike_c Nov 2023 #56

I miss seeing our avatars. Diamond_Dog Nov 2023 #57

You have an avatar next to your screen name above your reply. Emrys Nov 2023 #58

I am on an Ipad in Skinner mode Diamond_Dog Nov 2023 #60

I'd bring this up with EarlG. Emrys Nov 2023 #61

So am I, but I do see the avatars. We had problems some years ago question everything Nov 2023 #63

Chrome. Diamond_Dog Nov 2023 #66

I am not an expert but it may be worth deactivating an ad blocker, if you have one question everything Nov 2023 #73

I voted slightly easier... Think. Again. Nov 2023 #59

Harder but getting used to it. chillfactor Nov 2023 #64

It still bothers me that certain functions, like MyPosts, require two or three clicks for what used to be one question everything Nov 2023 #65

Exactly my thought about Rebl2 Nov 2023 #72

I was a bit taken aback at first Mossfern Nov 2023 #67

About the same, but.... Happy Hoosier Nov 2023 #68

About the same. nt Raine Nov 2023 #69

No harder to me treestar Nov 2023 #70

That's the ONE good addition. Oopsie Daisy Nov 2023 #78

Slightly harder, but so what? Iggo Nov 2023 #74

I'm finding it about the same. It's less dated, but i don't find it any easier or harder. Native Nov 2023 #75

It's still buggy. Even OBVIOUS bugs are ignored, for example: Oopsie Daisy Nov 2023 #76

Once I swapped to the DU3 screen it got easy. marble falls Nov 2023 #79

Slighty harder. When I log into DU, the first thing I want to do is read the new threads. Jim__ Nov 2023 #80

It is objectively harder, because it adds clicks Ms. Toad Nov 2023 #81

Neither easier or harder. BluesRunTheGame Nov 2023 #82

My response was slightly harder MuseRider Nov 2023 #83

A little easier. Elessar Zappa Nov 2023 #85
