Breaking News: Upcoming Maintenance – Forum Migration
As some of you may know, over the last several months we've implemented new forums for a few of our titles, including Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm as well as our BlizzCon forums. The goal being to allow you to more easily navigate current topics, encourage more constructive discussions and reward positive contributions to the community.
With this in mind, we are ready for the World of Warcraft forums to transition to these new forums.
This Tuesday, November 13, the World of Warcraft forums will be going into maintenance starting at 8:00 AM (PST). We hope to have the forums available again by 5:00 PM (PST).
Note: We will be migrating over threads created in the last two weeks to allow ongoing community discussions to continue as seamlessly as possible.
Once maintenance is complete the old forums will be available in read-only mode. We encourage you to save any discussions you'd like, including any content from stickied and community threads.
Below are some features that will be available in the new forum:
Trust Levels
We want to reward users who are positively contributing to the forums. Over time, these players will be rewarded with the ability to post more often, embed images/links, and more.
Tracking and Updates
There are now “Blizz Tracker” and “Dev Tracker” options to quickly find official posts
You can now easily find threads that you’ve previously viewed
Preformatted text
Threads now update in real time without needing to refresh
Threads now infinitely scroll as the “pages” system has been removed.
The forums will also remember what you’ve read, where you left off, and how long you’ve spent active on the forums.
Sorting and Search
A new “Advanced Search” feature will make looking for older posts easier.
You can now sort posts by “Top” or “Latest” with configurable timeframes.
Notifications
You can now enable notifications for when you are tagged in posts and replies.
I doubt I'll even make trust level 0
