[OSM-talk] web page element browsing history regression

[Martin Koppenhoefer]

It's been some time now that the new web page is deployed, and despite the overall improvement, the regression for object browsing (tiny part of the screen is actually useful, map occupies most of the screen but is really not needed or could be much smaller at least, the current presentation style leads to scrolling requirement for any slightly more complex object) is still bothering the users. Also dates and times are not shown any more, instead there is approximated text like "almost 6 years ago", "12 months ago" etc.

The fact that map data is loaded for every browse page also leads to significant traffic overhead, eg on mobile or other slow internet connections.

I understand that this is an open source project with volunteer contributions, but that part actually WAS already functional for years. Would it be possible to get the old browsing and history pages back, at least until someone comes up with an improvement?

Is there support for such a partial rollback?

Cheers,
Martin
