Welcome to the new forums!

I love the dogs!

Plus Jeff looks like some sort of secret agent and Michael Chu is trying to be sneaky back there lol

I donā€™t really play this game as much as I do the other Blizzard franchises, but I did want to come over and say that this is a HUGE improvement over what we had before.

The removal of downvotes, the streamlined interface, and the ability to embed media are huge improvements.

I will say, the new format was super jarring at first, but after reading a few threads I think I like it a little bit better.

One thing I would like to see, however, is the ability to use the old reply box. Iā€™m not a fan of the split WYSIWYG interface. Iā€™d rather just tab between the format and preview panes. Makes it hard to do anything because itā€™s so small.

Overall though, great improvements. I canā€™t wait for this new format to reach the other Blizzard sites.

I wish downvotes and the ability to see peopleā€™s SR was still here.

Click on your name and choose ā€œView profileā€, dear GM Genji player xd


Also, could you please fix the pinning? Itā€™s annoying forums still unpin pinned threads.

Thanks BigDaddy Jeff! Love the new forums. Been very happy with all the amazing content this year!

Thank you!
I have a few questions:

  • are staff posts now orange?
  • how can I jump to a staff reply to a topic?

Could there be an option to not have endless scroll tho? Otherwise Iā€™m digging the new forum design.

Here, have a Oni Genji emoji: :japanese_ogre:

Dev team posts are orange. Other Blizz reps are blue (e.g. community managers).

Skip to their posts by clicking the little blue button top right at the top of the scoll bar. ā€œFirst tracked postā€ - then click the ā€œBlizzā€ buttons to go to the next one.

Or use the ā€œBlizz trackerā€ and ā€œDev trackerā€ links at the top.

It is so hard to read big threads with this new endless scroll system. Please donā€™t use itā€¦

Do I count as a ā€˜new userā€™? Letā€™s see.

Love the new look!!!

They increased the limit from 10 posts to 100 posts.

Unable to post linksā€¦ which is detrimental to any ā€œbug reportā€ forum section.
People will just get around it by posting in titles instead of the body, or in ways to bypass form restrictions. It doesnā€™t seem to be against the code of conduct either so Iā€™m unsure why we now have this restriction. It makes it that much harder to show the devs clear clips of where a bug is happening.

Wondering whatā€™s the refresh frequency for the Blizz and Dev post trackers.

I think they removed it for mobile?? Unless Iā€™m blind? And I wish I was better at genji lol. My genji hours are all on QP. I play tank and off heal for Comp

Maybe itā€™s not present on mobile?

With no downvote system for the community to self regulate every forum is now the off-topic forum.

As stated above SR viewing is still available but Iā€™m with you on down votes. Now we will have to wade through masses of troll posts to read anything constructive. Removing down votes was a horribly short sighted idea. Why werenā€™t up votes removed too if the devs wanted to facilitate discussion.

The browser addon ā€œPrivacy Badgerā€ blocks access to this forum because it thinks it contains trackers.

Error message: ā€œCannot load app. It looks like you are offline! Please check your network connection and try again.ā€

Disabling it on this site makes me able to see the site again. But this never happened to me before. Usually PB is pretty good at disabling harmful trackers only and leave the sites intact.

The new forums are awesome!

faster, smoother,
the insta-updates of your history,
The notifications you get when replied to or your posts get replied to.

The new look is far better though i still got something to figure out here.

but all in all, huge improvement! well done!!
