Small problems with Bungie.next

So with everyone complaining about or praising the big features, I thought I'd write up a list of the tiny problems that I haven't heard talked about much. Obviously this isn't me saying that we should be in a refining stage - on the contrary, there are a lot of major problems that people on the site have been echoing repeatedly, some of which I agree with - but simply a result of me being a perfectionist. - The trending hashtags are entirely useless right now. I really don't see the point of having the first seven hashtags in the most recently replied to threads (or most popular if you're sorting that way). It's entirely redundant as we can see them all simply by glancing at the top two or three threads. - The activity page serves little purpose. In its current form, it shows the three latest threads created with the tags you follow, along with the three latest public threads made in groups you're in, and finally shows what you're followed users are doing (however, this is mixed in with everything else on the "all activity" tab). My suggestion is to make a separate "followed user activity" tab, and perhaps add on to the number of topics displayed made with certain tags. It's entirely useless to have an entire page showing the last three threads created with the tag #flood, for instance. - The ability to save threads and the saved threads themselves need to return. A lot of us really care about this feature and completely emptying pages of threads important to users without any kind of warning would be a huge dick move on the part of Bungie. - The notification and message system is still very laggy. - On the groups tab, sorting by popularity seems to mean sorting by number-of-followers-gained-since-the-update. While this is certainly beneficial to me personally, it's objectively a silly way to sort "popular" groups. There are multiple groups on the all-time/popularity page that aren't even posted in anymore because their communities have gone offsite. This is simply a waste of a feature that could be used to point new users towards thriving private communities. Obviously this is a search feature, but the way popularity is sorted is pointless. - Starting related topics within groups seems to automatically make that related topic a public thread. I'm not sure if this is a bug that has been fixed, but it's one I noticed a couple of days ago. I've been logging this stuff in my head so forgive me if mistakes are made. - Something must have broken when the webteam was applying the latest fixes earlier today because ever since I've been on, the number of pending members in my queue has continuously rose and will not go down whether I reject or accept user in question. Originally I assumed that this was a result of me having muted a user that was trying to join my group, but upon investigation, this turned out not to be the case. This isn't a bug that existed earlier than today. - Also within groups, a three minute ban is a waste of space. I have no idea why that's an option. Reiterating that moderator roles need to come back along with the ability to lock threads and ban users from the forum. - Despite my draconian style of leadership, I completely disagree with having private group members that are banned completely unable to see all threads in the group. Seems like something that would lead to people not bothering to log back in again. At least give the admin or moderator an option of choosing whether the user can view threads or not. - Reiterating the need for group history. Currently, group admins have no way of seeing who it was that left their group. This feature is much more important than most would realize. - Reiterating that the current location of pinned threads is stupid. Most group members will agree with me - there are a lot of things that we'd all like to have easier access to. Putting them on the home page is just silly, and hopefully this was a temporary fix. - A follower-but-not-member page for groups would be nice. On the same note, it seems as though if you're already a member of a group and you for some reason unfollowed it, there is no way to refollow the group without leaving and rejoining (and I'm not even sure if that fixes the problem.) - The ability to put links in group descriptions would be extremely useful. - A permanent, auto-reject feature for groups would be as well. There are users that group admins just simply get tired of rejecting. Just a suggestion off the top of my head - automatically reject every member from the group founder's mute list. Like I said at the start, there are a lot of major problems that need fixing, but I just thought some of the smaller issues needed a thread of their own. Remind me of what I missed.
