Welcome to the new forums!

Great new forums were people are flagging posts they dont like to get people ban.

Not a fan. Old forums were simple and not clustered. Screen looks too busy now.

I absolutely love the forums new update! It feels so fresh and modern! Love it!! Great job, :smile: :heart:

Are you guys going to fix the Battlenet app so that when we click “forums” from the options menu we’re brought here instead of to the now closed old forums?

Hai OW Team!

Can we have spell check on the forums?

I do love a good spell check to keep my comments in line. :grinning:

I created a small FAQ for anyone interested…

Hopefully newcomers can get some of their questions answered quickly here

thank u King!!!

use chrome spell check!

I’m not too fan of this new forums. At least from what I could find, we can’t see people profiles anymore to show us what they play and stats to give advice on things like that. There is no longer profile pictures that add at least some color to the forums. All we are left with is dull grey and some blue colors for the forums and doesn’t make it look that appealing to me. Also the usernames for the posts are WAY smaller then previous ones. I like the fact downvoting is gone and all comments are on one page.

Your team’s doggos look extremely cute.

I use firefox and no im not switching because you cant prevent chrome from recording your history

Use Firefox spell check…u-u’

“reading yout history” telemetria have on all softwares, firefox too lol

It is enabled, it just not active when making posts.

I have Ghostery to prevent tracking and i have no idea what your second sentence says exactly. . .

I have a suggestion for the “Latest”“New” and “top” tabs,
a setting to manage what catagories show up in the tabs,
currently you can view posts within the a catagory section as
"Latest"“New” and “top” with the relevent posts.

But if you were able to focus on posts that intrest you in the catagories setion of the forums, say you dont want to see any new posts from PTR you can adjust a setting to not focus on that catagory for any “Latest”“New” and “top” topics/posts.

For example you could have a check box list in a drop box for each tab.

This forum needs a “miscellaneous” category when reporting posts in which the reporter has to type out a brief summary of the reason for flagging a post.

I found a post recently that I wanted to report but none of the options given were appropriate for the situation.

I’m disappointed that I can’t use alt+Numpad keys to insert the old ASCII emoticons like the heart “:heart:” in the bottom popup editor.
YES I can use emojis from the bar above the editor, but I still prefer the old symbols.

To get the heart into this post, I opened Overwatch, typed the heart with Alt+3 (German keyboard… does that matter?) and then copy&pasted it here.

Could we get this enabled please?

edit: Okay, seems it gets replaced with the Emoji heart after all, instead of being the font-colored classic heart.
Emoji: :heart:

This is awful. It functions more like some garbage social media site as opposed to a proper forum. Blech.

It’s really great but the “reply” feature is quite unreliable, almost every time I press reply it’ll say I’m replying to somebody while I’m typing it up but what I say will just come up as another comment.

This is really obnoxious considering it doesn’t ping the person you wanted to reply to if it was a question, it is a little bit embarrassing since it makes you look like you said something with 0 context, and comments take 24 hours to delete so you can’t just delete it and try to reply again.
