Comprehensive list of Forum issues

There is a load of bugs as well in these new forums. Like replying to the last post specifically doesn’t show the original post. Like it would with other posts. Edit: As you can see above me. Responded to @linkdude240 and it doesn’t show the little respond thing.

There is also a bug with threads that you pin becoming unpinned for no reason. Makes it very annoying when there are useful ones like the New Forum FAQ thread.

Some other issues:

  • Once a thread gets “hot” enough a mod will lock it for few hours, which is essentially silencing any kind of discussion that mods don’t like to be discussed
  • In old forums dev posts didn’t have upvote/downvote buttons, now they got “like” buttons but are too afraid to allow flagging (in current terms “disliking”) their posts, it seems blizzard have a very strong stance on negative feedback directed at them.

I don’t really use pinning, I use the bookmark function in the small arrow to the right of the post.

Lots of cool stuff can be found by exploring. Btw u can view bookmarked threads by clicking on your profile pic and clicking on the bookmark icon.

So this must be new because I cross-threadquote all the time (feel free to correct me if I am wrong) but now when you expand a partial quote it puts this GROSS orange highlight around the partially quoted post that is a huge eye strainer.

Just… why?

Because the web designers of this forum were underpaid.

Seriously? Infinite scroll?

I agree on the flagging thing, which i have learned they are all too ready to reinforce for even the most minor of things

Possibly related / helpful, did you check the following setting?

That was it thanks. Didn’t even think to look at the settings.

That one is a strange design decision, but I feel (personally) that there ahould be a second button called “Permapin”, because some things you want permanently to show up at the Top of the General Discussion main page and some things you don’t (not just one or the other for everything) but that’s just me maybe.

54

The aforemention bookmark button would work.

Also is it just me or does the new forums take wayy too long to update profile pics?

55

I haven’t tried to update mine so I wouldn’t know. But, the old forums used to take a little while to update as well.

56

The new forums are taking longer than the older ones.

The old forums already updated my pic to cute Ana. The new one? It’s still Cute Lucio on my end

A day? I got banned for a week for saying “so dumb”.

But hey, some guy in game told me to get date r@ped and he was only silenced.

58

I think you have to log out and log back in for your picture to change. That’s what I had to do for mine to update.

Damn, that’s kinda weird. The old forums would do that automatically. Lemme try and uodate you on it.

Update : It changed, but not to the one I have currently.

Update 2 : it changed to the correct one. Apparently Reaper’s sould orb Icon is a placeholder.

I’m glad it worked! It is weird that it doesn’t do it automatically though.

This really feels like a step down from the old forums…

Still wish we had a choice of infinite scroll or page
