Explain why you feel that they are crap?

care to elaborate on what you consider to be garbage?

Not a whole lot to go off here and I don’t suspect the thread will survive without a more constructive complaint about it.

Have your voice heard and not deleted.

So explain my aesthetics to you? This will result in “Well that’s stupid” from you.

They’re crap…I don’t NEED to explain other than they’re a confusing mess.

As I said “I may get used to it”…but they’re still crap.

That line of thought defeats all purpose of making the thread then. The whole point is to start a discussion and if your only criticism is “it’s crap” then the people who made the forums won’t have much to go on for improving or changing things going forward.

I found them to be a little persnickety at first, but after I got used to them I prefer them as they are now to the way they were. Not a big fan of time-gating the whole trust level thingies (and Blizzard don’t you dare start selling Trust-Level 3 for IRL money!) and the limitations on the number of likes I can do right now, but overall I like the ability to find conversations that I’m in, people who responded to me where before I would have forgotten about that thread, and a working comment tracker is nice to have again.

Not very constructive.

You could use some work on promoting actual discussion. The forums will be far worse off if they are just filled by whining posts like yours.

I like the new forum!
At least, I do not remember anything that was in the old, that is needed in this new forum, or better!
Of course, emojis make the posts a lot nicer! :wolf:

I feel like it’s any other update to anything. More bells and whistles, more slower, with a learning curve.

I’m getting used to them. I like some of the features, and notifications are great.

Not quite as fun to use on mobile, but not really sure what they can do about that since this is the format they’ve settled with. It feels cluttered and the navigation can be awkward. Sometimes the scrolling gets messed up and I end up in Africa in a post and forget where the last reply I read was. Sometimes a “Back” button comes up but it doesn’t seem consistent.

All you gotta do is copy a youtube video link and it pops up like that. So yes. WE all can do that. It’s part of the new “features” we can now do.

Have you not tried…? lol

I am slowly getting used to the new format. I definitely LOVE not seeing all those low level shaded toons and their toxic comments. These new posts seem much more constructive and positive. I do like that! :grinning:
