I hate this new forum

The largest issue I have with the phone right now is that it will go rogue on me sometimes and start scrolling to random posts.

Cool. This is a bit easier to do.

Ugh, way too much clutter and unnecessary clicking just to reply.

I like the new format. I would like the following to be added:

  • A paging option (turn on/off)
  • A convenience button (on the right) to take you back to the post listings (I know the ā€˜backā€™ button does that, but i like a button as well).

Not a fan. It feels like they were trying to get really slick, and it comes off as very clunky and new-age. The lack of pages, in particular, is beyond stupid, and a definite downgrade to functionality.

Like everyone else, I mostly just donā€™t care for all the cluttery data, and infinite scrolling. Iā€™d love an option to turn the scrolling off and have pages back, but I have always hated infinite scrolling. Its just satisfying to hit the end of a page ya know!

The old forums were simpler and I liked the styling overall better, but meh. Just gotta get use to it I guessā€¦

I like it.

Idk I kinda like it might take some time to get used to tho

Confusing. I prefer the old layout more.

Thereā€™s this neat trick, if you mouse click and hold the scroll bar on the right, you can drag it to where ever you want. No need to scroll. #mindblown

It still looks bad on PC.

They designed this for mobile.
Look at the right and left spacing. It is empty for no good reason.
Everything is compressed into the middle with a huge side bar that does nothing but scroll.
Browser already has a scroll bar. Why the eff would you create a side bar within a scroll bar that can infinity scroll down.

Such an ugly UI design.
But seriouslyā€¦Did the website designers see the Yo Dawg meme, and decided to create 4 scroll bars?
A smaller Scroll bar next to a bg scroll bar.
Then Reply Scroll bar within the two scroll bars that is also next to another preview scroll bar.
Yo dawg, I heard you like website with scroll bars.

Not a fan. Too cluttered on my phone. Feels like a lot ot unecessary features were added at the expense of ease of access.

There are some features I like but I donā€™t think theyā€™re worth it to loose the old style forums.

I miss pages. I miss the old way of quoting. I miss just clicking on someoneā€™s avatar and seeing their Armory (I love transmog threads.) I hate being spammed with thread updates.

Whatever. Thereā€™s nothing I can do about it so Iā€™ll adjust.

Itā€™s truly great.
You will get used to it, itā€™s called 'Blizzard finally catching up with the interwebs" :smile:
