N4G Update: Submission View Update

Hello everyone and Merry Monday, the most popular of days.

Today the developers have pushed an update to N4G that will affect submission viewing. With this update you will now notice that upon scrolling to the end of the comments of a submissions it will have automatically displayed a related submission and its comments section. It will show up to four additional submissions in a row before it ends this process.

The goal of this update is to help you see related submissions to the one you are reading without having to otherwise find them yourself.

If you have questions or experience issues with this update, please submit a ticket via https://n4g.com/tickets/

Thank you,
The BGFG Team

This looks bad. Not the idea itself, but the fact that there's no additional separator between currently viewing submission and related ones. They're cramped so close to each other.
And the fact that it loads and shows comments automatically, it gets kinda confusing when you're scrolling and seeing 5 or more comments sections. I bet it will lead to a lot of wrong responses or out-of-context responses.

Visual separation would've helped. Or even loading related news "collapsed" with title/platforms with a way to see it fully.

Like right now, i was responding not under this post, but under first related one and had to double-check before posting.
If this was a toggle or available in the settings, i would've disabled it immidiately. Just my 2c

A separator would be great, even if it just says "Related Articles" or "Other Articles You Might Be Interested In", just having it flow onwards like a social media post is disorientating because it shows the comments for all. Alternately, maybe have a "Expand Comment Section" for the other articles rather than auto loading them for us.

Definitely a separator would help. Maybe have it as a horizontal thick red bar?

Or have the other articles surrounded by a very very thin red border?

What you on about. The separator is the massive AD they placed between them. LOL.

Yeah this is ugly guys!

At the least we could load comments separately. This is going to lead to some well trailed off discussions

Out of alllllllll the ideas they asked for….this is the one they chose to implement first?

Really?

Edit:

I’ve already faced issues, I’ve just went to write comments out in some articles, the writing has lagged heavily and before I could post it refreshed the page on my mobile where my comment was wiped. It’s happened 3 times now

Please. Get rid of it.

I actually would have preferred the 2FA first.
