This comes from this thread, which someone recently posted in again:
Some users have issues with the current forums, with some finding them too busy, others having issues finding things, etc. For instance, it’s a lot easier on desktop to see the categories with the latest posts, along with the search bar, whereas on mobile devices have the search icon in the upper right, which could get missed, and default to Categories instead of Latest. Yes, you can set the default home page to Latest, but on desktop, this won’t show the categories along with the latest posts.
Are there any plans to make the forums a little easy to use? I think if the search bar was more prominent on the mobile site, we might have less of the simple questions being asked, like why an approved Wayspot isn’t in PoGo.
