Navigate the QCLF Browse Workspace
The QCLF frontend Browse workspace is the persistent navigation hub for forum discovery and personal activity. Its tabs change with sign-in state and moderation authority.
QCLF filters each data view through current forum access so a personalized tab does not become a way to expose Topics from inaccessible Categories.
Primary Browse Tabs
| Tab | Availability |
|---|---|
| Sections | Always available; forum structure/home view. |
| Search | Always available. |
| Unread | Signed-in users only. |
| Following | Signed-in users only. |
| My Topics | Signed-in users only. |
| Notifications | Signed-in users only; unread count can appear in the label. |
| Starting Soon | Always available; visible scheduled live Topics. |
| Moderation | Shown only when the user can access the frontend Moderation workspace. |
Personal Topic Tabs
Unread compares accessible Topics with the member’s read-state record. Following shows accessible followed Topics and provides an Unfollow action. My Topics shows accessible Topics authored by the signed-in user.
These tabs require sign-in and paginate using the normal QCLF topic page size.
Notifications and Follow Delivery
Notifications opens the on-site notification center, Mark Read/Delete/Clear controls, notification preferences, and per-follow Email/On-site delivery controls for followed Topics and Categories.
Starting Soon
Starting Soon filters visible scheduled/lobby live Topics by selectable windows of 1 Hour, 6 Hours, 12 Hours, 24 Hours, or 3 Days. It respects reveal timing plus Section/Category visibility.
Persistent Navigation Inside the Hierarchy
When you enter a Section, Category, Topic, or edit screen, QCLF keeps a Browse navigation block available with the primary tabs plus Section-specific Overview/Category subtabs where relevant.
