Homepage https://help.nextcloud.com shows "categories" not "latest"

I think till yesterday i get on klick on the Nextcloud symbol (https://help.nextcloud.com) at the left top on https://help.nextcloud.com all categories (see https://help.nextcloud.com/categories). Before i got on klick on the Nextcloud symbol (https://help.nextcloud.com) the “latest” (see https://help.nextcloud.com/latest) .

Perhaps you can link https://help.nextcloud.com to https://help.nextcloud.com/latest and not to https://help.nextcloud.com/categories . Thanks.

This was changed yesterday intentionally. The default home page shows Categories on the left and Latest topics on the right. The intention of that is to both people an anchor and overview of what is there, as well as present what’s new.

Thank you. But i think like other forums mostly categories are overrated. Normal users use search engines to find posts. Perhaps you can change left and right side.

For more technical people, the categories might be overrated. But much like Nextcloud’s design goal, with this forum we aim to help not only people who know their way around search and forums.

Also see this user research on the shortcomings of search https://www.nngroup.com/articles/search-not-enough/

It’s possible to overwrite the default in your user preferences if one prefers a different home page.

Danke. Ich habe es auch umgestellt. Nun ist es wieder so schön wie früher.

Hier der Link, da es doch etwas schwer zu finden ist.
“benutzerxyz” entsprechend durch den eigenen Benutzernamen ersetzen.
