I think it’s going to take a while to adapt to and there will be a learning curve. I’m finding it a bit off putting, but really only because it’s different and I know I’ll get over it. The old forums were antiquated so it was a needed change eventually.

I’m finding it hard to adjust to the scrolling, too. But I’ve only been on a short time now, so here’s hoping it gets better with more familiarity.

After scrolling down my phone through the 150+ comments to find a reply to thread button that didn’t rely on replying to a specific person…

I can say I like these exactly a much as the Overwatch forums.

None. At all. My involvement here will probably drop to nothing, though I wasn’t a big recognizable name so no real loss either way.

Ugh, I miss pages. I miss being able to double tap a word and have formatting tools on the bar. I don’t know markdown or whatever the formatting language is. I hate this. Edit: oh they’re there just hidden because screw intuitive design I guess.

Not sure. The endless scrolling does feel cluttered though.

:disappointed_relieved: Not a fan of endless scrolling. Liked having pages.

I don’t mind them myself. I really don’t like how I can’t posts links yet though, and while I understand why, it’s particularly frustrating.

I’m Quitting and because it’s new, a lot will dislike and say how they miss the old system.

Then, people will get used to it and say it’s not too bad.

If I had to make any complaint right now, it’d be that I wish the posts were displayed a touch wider than they are. They feel squished, and the scrollbar to the side feels like it’s taking up too much space.

I’m wondering and have been wondering if this is just to drive us away from the forums , so they don’t have to see what we have to say .

Just seems overly cluttered. And pages by far are better than this endless scrolling crap.

Meh.

Seems cluttered. The last forums were simple. I guess the added functionality might end up being great for emoji lovers though.

If anything, the whole design seems intended to suck you in and keep you on the site.
