I Cannot Find Anything on Spiceworks
-
I just use Tab + Q to visit the few parts of the site I use. I occasionally will click a featured post or something from my feed.
So for me the new interface is really no different.

The new UI does have it's drawbacks, and there are many of them. Already lengthy discussions being had about it.
However, if you haven't noticed, you can actually post videos now in the threads.
That was a long time ago. The new lack of navigation is since last week.
No, that discussion is still being had. The navigation changes hit a lot of people by surprise. I just started defaulting to /feed and using Chrome browser search methods.

Just make that your homepage. It has some of these links already.
That's the page that we go to automatically that is so confusing.
Sort of has some of the old home page features with new stuff added in.

That page and tab + Q are the only ways I know how to navigate around the SW community.
I couldn't ever really navigate it too well anyway. It's always had poor navigation -

I wish I could just have feeds for Windows Server, AD & GPO, PowerShell and Windows 10 questions. I think I can do RSS feeds, but that means getting another app.

Read that as "i'm too lazy to set something up for just what I want to see" and you have my stance on it.

I've setup Feedly to troll the forums already. I just wish that I didn't have to do that. The forums do have RSS feeds.

@Bill-Kindle like i said, i am too lazy to do it. I am sure I would post more there if i did.

Is Feedly anywhere nearly as fast as the web updates?

Seems okay with the free version. The paid version is supposed to be faster all around (searching, poling, integration into Evernote etc.) and is about $40 a year.

@Bill-Kindle I think you mean trawl.
Trolling gets you banned.

That's what I am doing now.

The new interface makes it feel like the old ways of finding things just are not there. The old timers will have no problems but I wonder how many newbies will be lost.

I just found this thread again, so useful. I had no idea how to get to these things anymore.

I gave up on Spiceworks when they started becoming the "Facebook of IT".

If there is any post that needs to be pinned... it's this one!!!!
