Hey hey! Do you guys like the new forums?

Format is a bit wonky, but it’s not too bad. I’m more concerned about the infinite scrolling. It’s a double-edged sword. It’s nice to be able to see the next thing by just scrolling, but it could cause serious performance issues on large discussions, as I’ve seen it do on other sites.

Will take a bit of getting used to, but change can be a good thing. It will be interesting to see how everyone manages.

I can not work out how to post with my other account, for some reason it just won’t let me post at all. I thought you were supposed to be able to post with trust level 0, perhaps not.

So far new forums get a :rage: from me

I’m interested in the choice to go from a folder on us. blizzard. com/en/forums to a separate A record “us. forums. blizzard. com”

I guess that’s just the way a lot of sites are going now.

I tried it on my phone and it was a better experience than on my pc browser.

I think the pc version needs some formatting and sizing fixes.

It seems quite a few of mine got counted probably because they were within the last two weeks and thus ‘made the cut off’

Reading this makes my teeth cringe.

It’ll take some time to get used to, for sure. I get some of the design choices, like needing to scroll to the bottom of a thread to reply. That being said, I still think it’ll be abused where people will just scroll until they can.

I don’t know, we’ll see!

Well I suppose it is no surprise that I like them but learning curve is steep and I do feel some anxiety here.

Mobile is the same, but half of the world “Reply” is cut off by ellipses. It’s on the far right in the box around a person’s post, with all the other blue buttons.

Testing this out.

If this works it will be rad!

So far I’m not impressed but like others have said I will probably take time.

How ever I do feel there are other things maybe better things they could of invested financial resources into instead of changing the forums.

Yes I know the Forum team is separate from other teams but over all funds come from up top .

I see our achievement score is still a bit off.

Only for trust level 0 thankfully! Not sure how the visibility works on increasing trust level though.

Now that I’ve been looking around it a bit there is something about it that is bothering my eyes but I’m not sure what. It might be the blue but I don’t know.

Tugs on tentacles… Is there anything you don’t find stimulating?
Hugs But still it’s nice to see you.

It’s really complicated IMO. But I guess we’ll get used to it.

Testing out the reply feature.

Like with everything, there’s pros and cons to it. I’m fairly used to it from playing and posting over on the Overwatch forums and once things get settled it, it isn’t really that bad as it as some nice quality of life improvements that the old forums did not have.
