As far as I can now tell, the new HyperKitty (?) mechanism on https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/
Uuugghh!!!
That is truly the most horrible mail reading interface I have ever seen.
I'll have to agree. I really don't like the new archive list format. The old format was far easier to use.
I don't actually receive any mails from the lists. I have only ever been reading them on the archive. And it as now become more unpleasant and more time-consuming.
I don't think anyone involved had imagined some people would be reading the list via the archive interface, I certainly had not. Personally, I admit I don't like the Hyperkitty interface much either. As David wrote, too much screen real-estate taken up by non-essential stuff. I am keeping a list migration post mortem report here: https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/77701 I have added your concerns about the Hyperkitty interface, it makes me wonder if others might have already created new archive "skins" ? Feel free to contribute items (and solutions), but please refrain from general discussion, let's keep that here.
Yes, I can still manage. But it would be nice to have a better interface.
We still have some work to do - mailman has an option for an NNTP interface and it looks as if there might also be room to have more than one archiver.
It is especially bad for the bugs list, where I try to monitor for interesting new bug reports. I might have to give up on that, because checking the list has become difficult.
Well, there were always other options - gmane is one, actually subscribing to the list is another. I use nntp (a local setup) for reading the lists, but mails could also be delivered to an IMAP folder and easily read with any imap-capable reader.
