These new forums are stupid and dumb

[Kithelle-zuljin (Kithelle)]

This is horrible! Instead of working on 8.1 and getting those needed changes out, they are spending all of their time ruining the forums?

This is the most awkward set up I have ever seen in a forum. Totally unreadable.

I am thinking this is simply Blizz’s way to limit Forum involvement. They would get blasted if they just closed the forums down, so instead they made them so unusable they are hoping the usage of them will decline so that they don’t have to listen to us anymore.

Who on earth thought that this would be a good idea??? Probably they same people who designed the Azurite Necklace.

I do hope this is a troll. You honestly don’t think their back and front end web developers are the same people who work on the game, do you?

I choose option A.

OMG - they’re different departments of Developers! What are you going on about? I really hate when people have zero idea how IT works do such a comment. I worry that other people may actually think they have an idea of what they’re saying.
Bad news all around

Shake it up

[Bowjim-thrall]

When I liked the OP’s post it said he had 6 likes. Yet below it it says his Post has 9 likes. What insane kind of counting is this?

[Terela-emerald-dream]

Would be nice if they could let people use the old forums ! I kinda like the new one. Oh well, to each his own !

I don’t know what the heck is going on. Like am I replying right now? I can’t tell if I am replying to the thread or I am replying to a person… I also don’t know why I keep seeing repeated posts in some threads BEFORE the person who posted them. I am so lost.

When you hit the reply button you are replying to the entire thread. You still have to use quote functions to quote someone.

[Lueran-wyrmrest-accord (Lueran)]

Unless you hit the reply button by someone else’s post. Then you’re replying to them. (Except for a bug where they sometimes aren’t showing as being replies)

Quoting people isn’t the same as replying to them anymore

[Bowjim-thrall]

Obviously they are designed from 2 totally different departments.

What you need to learn to do is learn how to put 1 + 1 together. These new forums are a bad design and the Azurite Necklace is a bad design, my comment was some lighthearted humor since at this stage with how horrible BFA is, all we can do is laugh… or cry…

[Roshom-tichondrius]

Quoted from you @Bowjim - “This is horrible! Instead of working on 8.1 and getting those needed changes out, they are spending all of their time ruining the forums?”
That shows that you thought they WERE the SAME department. You were wrong, and your reply to OP was incorrect due to it.

I disagree I like them

[Gexx-emerald-dream (Gexx)]

how you get so much trust level already

[Alayea-malfurion (Alayea)]

There is nothing that I like about this new forum design. I don’t understand the obsession with making something “mobile-friendly” while essentially telling PC users to go screw themselves because there is no desktop version.

[Bowjim-thrall]

I hate these new forums. Not only is the design different, but Blizz switched which toon I am commenting on with no warning.

[Brightglow-wyrmrest-accord]

these new forums kinda confuse me… why’s there the ability to reply to specific people, AND the ability to put a new post on a thread?

[anon65620755]

eh, give it a chance, maybe it will grow on ya!

[Autai-moon-guard (Autai)]

If they fix the scrolling from going rogue on my phone randomly, I’ll be good with these updates.

[Phurr-stormrage (Phurr)]

One thing that really bugs me is the hide profile option. Not only does it block you from checking their post history it locks you into the screen so you can’t return to the thread you were just in. You have to instead go to the forums screen, return to the forum you were in, and then find the thread again.
