While things went much better this time, we still encountered some problems, both new ones and ones that were intrinsic in the initial design that we missed. These were the following
- The events-articles-discussions problem was largely rectified with our change. However, one user notified us afterward that she still didn't completely understand the difference between them. We may need to implement some kind of help toolbar to explain. While this isn't the most elegant solution, it will do away with the confusion.
- One user pointed out that we forgot a scrollbar in our main page. Thus, he didn't think he could put on more than a few topics on the main page. This is something we should have made visible.
- The "new post" idea backfired. In particular, one user did not understand that even if she clicked "new post" next to one topic, she could tag it as another topic as well, or change her mind completely and not tag it as the topic she selected originally. We should have probably put only one "new post" button at the bottom right of the screen.
