I hate this new forum

Calaatia-frostmourne · November 16, 2018, 4:19pm

I’ve seen worse “upgrades,” but it’s still a big step in the wrong direction. Go take a look at the read-only forums: now you can only fit half as many posts per page. And infinite scroll is a plague on web design. The only change that I like is the ability to post hyperlinks.

You can use cookie emoji now

It’s definitely different! I’m going to try to get used to it before I pass any judgements.

screams in terror

Not a fan.

I find it easier to use on my phone than the old forums. Especially the infinite scrolling. I think it’s great on my phone. I don’t mind the desktop either but I can understand infinite scrolling isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But I think it’s great!

I am on the same page as you. I don’t like it one bit. I liked when we had pages instead of endless scrolling. I did not need to see all the random pictures all over the place now.

What many of us asked for:
The original vanilla WoW forum layout and functionality.

And what we got:
This mess created for mobile phones. This forum is the equivalent of Diablo Immortal.

Its bearable on a pc but i can see this being a nightmare for some on cell phones.

Vaida-wyrmrest-accord · November 16, 2018, 4:39pm

I don’t get it? It’s confusing on PC and a nightmare on mobile? The old forums were so much neater.

Zeusgodofsky-thrall · November 16, 2018, 4:40pm

Part of it is because i have a big view of the forum anyways on my pc set up not so much on my wife cellphone i would never view it there ever lol!

Grumbles-hellscream · November 16, 2018, 4:41pm

YAY!

Thank you! And I see all sorts of other tasty things too!

Romanna-silver-hand · November 16, 2018, 4:42pm

You didn’t maybe want to give the forums more than fifteen minutes before deciding you hated it?

Noxxigar-wyrmrest-accord · November 16, 2018, 4:43pm

I actually really am impressed - it feels similar to the old style but with some nice added sleekness.
Favorable I think in the long run.

You’ll be even more popular with

It’s going to take some serious getting adjusted to this forum, however, it can be done. I’m one of those people that likes to browse the forums and the lengthy scrolling is a bit tedious. I liked the page breaks but that isn’t how it’s done anymore, I guess.

Heargen-altar-of-storms · November 16, 2018, 4:53pm

I guess Blizzard adheres to the old adage, “If it ain’t broke, fix it till it is”.

Brokenwind-malganis · November 16, 2018, 5:04pm

That is the kind of post that downvotes would be useful for.

People hate it because it sucks as a forum format. It may be great for mobile social media, but it is horrible for actual PC forums. Yours is the same kind of “don’t you have phones” attitude that brought us Diablo Immortal and is ruining any good will toward blizzard.

Setheus-area-52 · November 16, 2018, 5:05pm

Feel like I need to take a class or something on how to use these new forums.

WHAT AM I EVEN LOOKING AT?!

Brokenwind-malganis · November 16, 2018, 5:07pm

Like Diablo Immortal?
