Forums with lots of channels in conversation view #373

Open jamesn81 opened 9 years ago

jamesn81 commented 9 years ago

When a forum has a lot of channels, their names take up a lot of space at the top of the view when choosing "Show the conversation list by default".

If possible, an option to hide all channels (and show only the current channel name) or at least truncate the list to some kind of fixed width (and not wrap them) would be great.

I would say that we only show the 4/5 most active channels and a link to 'show more channels' in a dropdown.

jamesn81 commented 9 years ago

Yeah sure 4/5 - most active, or most recent and "show all" - perfect.

ghost commented 9 years ago

Well that's why there're sub-channels.

tvb commented 9 years ago

sub-channels does not justify all scenario's

jamesn81 commented 9 years ago

@mashify - I need to limit each channel to a group/user in my scenario.
