New Forums - not cool web people

[Wariya-stormrage (Wariya)]

why would you add a horde of new rules that serve only to impede communication?

Seems like communication is working fine, be specific in your posts

You can post links… they are just not always going to be converted to hyperlinks. But you can do it this way: www.example.com You just enclose the link in a pair of ``

[Raiyyn-whisperwind (Raiyyn)]

You can’t post links, even though this interface you stole from someone has a hyperlink option.

All web layouts are “stolen” from someone…what was the point of even saying that?

When you reach the Trust Level that allows you to use the hyperlink function it will be available to you.

Also you’re unable to ‘bump’ threads - something only really done in guild recruitment.

This practice has always been against the Code of Conduct for all forum areas, they just let it slide more in the recruitment sections.

You don’t need to bump threads anymore due to the new features such as…
Advanced search
Notifications
New Post area
Unread post area
Tags
and more.

I get that a lot of folks don’t like change, but you’re complaining about something that is a non-issue due to the better tools these forums provide without actually looking into how they actually work.

Hey there a tick mark is the key just below the ESC key. The apostrophe is not the same.

Also, I discovered they changed the rules where Trust Level 1 users can post trusted links (and works in all different game forums on the new platform), I am confirming if this is intended or not.

I see! It works! Thanks for that clarification. I suppose this would be a lot easier to parse if we could actually see what our trust level is (even if we didn’t have access to a specific breakdown of why it is what it is), but that explains it.

No, having limited likes. I plowed through my likes last night in no time.

I assume it limits the popularity contest aspect to posting but dang it, now I have to type more!

Ah, I missed that bit. I guess I can kinda see the usefulness in that, any guess on roughly how many you managed to go through? XD

It was done on general discussion a lot as well when people didn’t think their thread was getting enough attention. That is one thing I am glad is gone.

[Malfosa-whisperwind]

Exactly. Especially when they’d simply go /bump to do it. Just forum spam.

[Solarwynds-earthen-ring (Solarwynds)]

Psst… I’ll tell you a secret… the number is 50 but it is still letting me like. Every time I do though, it tells me I have exceeded my likes for however many more hours (which is currently 8).

[Xaeris-proudmoore (Xaeris)]

Replies within replies? What is this, the Inception of forums? The Xzibit meme of forums?

I prefer the old style. This one is too confusing.

[Solarwynds-earthen-ring (Solarwynds)]

Amine!! You made it to the new forums! I say new forums, clean slate. What do you think?

[Kypookins-baelgun (Kypookins)]

You should not be able to bump threads, it was spammy.

This is literally the dumbest change the WoW team has made in 15 years of the game, both in game and out.

Never happen. Besides I like the new forums so much better. Adapt to changes in life or get left behind

Except the change in forums wasn’t made by the WOW team. It was made by the Website / Battle Net team.
