@IntuitBettyJoThe change was definitely noticed but not because it made the site more user-friendly. It is good that the new branding should now clearly differentiate Lacerte, ProSeries, and ProConnect (Tax Online).
In fact, the site is near impossible to use on a mobile device, at least to frequent contributors who depend on the notification icon which has gone missing along with the icon for PM. Switching to desktop mode does not bring back either. The hardwork of the development team certainly did not go unnoticed /s.
Could you please work with the development team to fix this as we don't have constant access to our computers (unless, of course, Intuit's idea is to help us achieve a better work-life balance by participating only during office hours)?
And the floating "See how your firm can prepare for COVID-19" banner is irritating. Not sure why the PTB think 'that' needs to be in our face, constantly.
@abctax55"Somehow the concept of change just for the sake of change is the overriding philosophy for running this place."
Not just here, but many places. If it ain't broke, let's try to fix it so it will be. The problem is that all these techies are hired and once they do their job, there is no place for them to go but onward and downward.
I see the Refresh still is not fixed. When you first load to the "Community" listing, Recent still is not Recent. You have to then click Recent, to see the list as Recent, for viewing the list with the Recent tab as the selected tab.
On a scale of one to sucks, I would have to rate it as sucks. Like Obi-Wan pointed out, it makes it a lot tougher to follow on a phone. It seems that anytime we start getting used to something around this place someone at Intuit decides to "make it better". We really should get a bunch of folks to go protest at Intuit headquarters. But I'm guessing if we did, the Intuit decision makers would just head down to the bunker for an inspection and miss all of the fun.
I often see that message that I dont have any Notifications either (when the bells is showing a red number), but if I reload the page a few times then they finally appear.
@IntuitBettyJoNavigation on mobile devices is also a problem. There is no menu bar or shortcut that could bring you back to the home page of the Community once you click on a post. By clicking on the menu under Community, you can only choose between one of the three tax products. The only way to return to the home page is by going back to the previous pages, which is really tedious.
Right now, I click on the word Community, which is the top level of a menu, but also is itself a hot link. They removed the Home Icon from the top left, but this seems to do that same action.
