No more pages. Now we have an “infinite slide” feature.
Yeah. I love SCROLLING forever to read a thread, that’s just a GREAT feeling.
Thanks for this change nobody asked for. Can’t wait NOT to check out long threads.

Probably done by the same people who decided to make gateways automatically switch to warpgates.

I wish I was wrong back then.
You didn’t want to believe me. You ignored me. And now, lo and behold.
It’s there.

Terrible change. They did it to WoW and other games a while back. I believe Diablo 3 are the only forums left with old UI but have not checked yet today.
The new forum is convoluted and quite busy-looking. I even dislike this reply window.

I believe OP already violated the code of conduct, within hours of the new forum. Maybe a little positivity wouldn’t kill anyone hmmm.

Positivity is great when things are great, or at least normal, as usual. Positivity isn’t great when something wrong happens.
If you don’t heavily complain about what’s wrong, those in charge will just assume you’re fine with it and you’ll remain dissatisfied forever.

That is what Blizzard keeps doing they keep doing changes that not a single person asked for and then wonder why everyone is leaving.

QFT.
The new forum has so many unnecessary features/icon and things you can click to expand that are completely irrelevant.
Everything is just much harder on the eyes and all around clusterf***.
At least the D3 forums still have the old format…for now.

I can’t add links to my co-op mutation posts because I apparently need to get promoted to a new “trust level”. It’s a little off-putting that they didn’t at least have some sort of carryover from the previous forums so frequent contributors don’t have to jump through hoops just to get their usual quality of posts.
That being said, I’m looking through the most features to see if they added anything at all to the way I’m able to format posts. Maybe there’s something that won’t leave me disappointed.

To be honest and truthful there was a lot of very negative threads and more popping up. Making a new forum is to start from scratch like they did with Overwatch. They remove dislike due to how many people just down vote to provoke constructive post that’s abusing the whole function. They have the data. Also, just because you didn’t ask for it doesn’t mean rest of the people didn’t want it. There’s more than one way to voice than this forum.
Old forum had bugs and some may have been in a place it’s not easy to fix without getting rid a ton of other stuff. So, they made a new improve and this style of forum has been tested with other games forums.
Personally I love the new change this way constructive post won’t be flag hidden due to how many dislike it had. Now I can talk with ease. They did a great job of the interface when typing out a post and see a preview next to the one you’re typing. Making it easier to see instead of keep clicking preview then go back to rises to repeat. =D

I thought this game was too dead for them to bother with ruining the forums, I was wrong.

It looks like some people can’t handle change. The forum has changed before, this is nothing new. The old forum was a toxic cesspool. Anyone who doesn’t realize that was either inactive in the old forum, clueless or part of the problem. This change was needed even if we end up generally reverting to our old ways. Removing dislikes and being able to see who likes a post will help make this forum less toxic. Since anonymity encourages toxic behavior.

How are people supposed to let the world know just how much they disliked something now? Before, you could just lazily let someone know with 1 click. But now? Get ready for a lot of 20 character “critiques,” like “your post sucked. Would dislike if I could.”

The worst part is that threads are no longer sorted by last edited date, they have a search engine that truies to find threads “interesting for you” without telling you or letting you disable it.

So what you’re saying is now that you can see who ‘likes’ a post that you dislike, you can respond to that person to publicly shame them for liking the wrong opinion?
I really hope this is not the train of thought you were trying to convey.
Obviously not. That is not what will happen though. Instead people will be more careful about what they like due to the anonymity. If they are open about it then it is likely their opinion was obvious from the get go. Anonymity increases toxicity while the lack of it does the opposite. What you speak of would mostly happen if we still had dislikes and the people who did them were visible.
I agree about the dislike button, but I don’t see the issue, or why even, they had to show us icons/portraits of people who like a post. It’s unnecessary and just clutters up the UI more.
Your argument makes no sense.
We could have had this without the interface change. They did it on the WoW forums, they removed dislikes long before they switched to this new format.
And yes, people have issues with change, when the change is for the worst.

Fair enough, names would of been enough.
I am indifferent to the UI changes, but I agree that they weren’t necessary to remove dislikes and make likes visible.
