Forum thread previews wrecked

The most blatant issue is that they don't deal well with Markdown, which breaks everything.

But nearly everything else with them is bad beyond that.

• They should not have content previews, even if there was no markdown issue, its no one reads that, its just noise.
• To much space is wasted on stuff irrelevant to the function of the preview.
• Title is the key point of information here, above anything else, and that fundamentally takes horizontal space. Design should have just embraced that, layed out everything horizintally in each entry and stacked the threads, for easy processing, now we are instead stuck with large and clunky square previews which require a carousel for anything above 3 threads. I invite the next designer to just Google "forum latest threads" and look at the previews for a pretty clear industry standard on how this looks.

I agree with the above.

We quickly designed some ideas: https://www.figma.com/file/pQAYNFtlSGOmLu8osvktsZ/Pioneer-design-(Copy)?type=design&node-id=14302-234386&mode=design&t=JW6AOVnkizZdGMWh-4

Looks like a big improvement, perhaps its possible to make cards even a bit smaller horizontally? stilla bit of space there, perhaps titles can also be clipped eralier or have smaller font.

yeah that seems even better
