WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT!
The forums primary audience is wow players, so any time anything changes in any way, there will be a very vocal group talking about how much they hate the changes.
NGL I didn’t notice much different except for the size of the pinned posts, lol.
Same.
The font is the same on my end, just some stuff got moved around and now the pinned posts take up half the screen lol
I’m 99.9% sure the font is the same.
The font on the forum post hover tooltip has changed, though.
This.
Pinned posts are now larger with a shaded background, hover previews on the root pages changed, but I still see Poppins and Archivo (Google fonts) and a load of Blizz’s own .woff fonts in the < style > block, maybe it’s a mobile thing and using system fonts…
Came in just to bump this comment
My goodness, it’s actually true…
They keep making the font smaller on the phone app.
I think people need to give this indie company a break, I mean, it takes money to hire pro web designers.
Give the guy in the basement with a laptop hand-coding everything a break already, he can only do so much!
This is genius.
i dont know who coined the term, it wasn’t me but it totally explains so much of what we see from corporations these days.
There’s no search option anymore ): at least on mobile
It’s someone’s job to update the forum layout. Whether they make it better or worse doesn’t matter to them, as long as they are doing their job.
There are many roles like this in corporate America.
Seems this is also missing on desktop, CTRL+F used to open search on the forum and override the browsers “find on page” which drove me nuts, but now is no search at all that I can see, on root or threads.
I wonder if this is intentional for all the necro’s and trolling…
If that’s the case I’d rather they just lock threads after x amount of inactivity being able to search a problem with key words / or keep up with long going threads like there’s various customization megathreads with ideas etc is kinda the way I navigate the forums
why is the non-thread threads at the top in some sort of… weird grey box??
I may be blind but my font looks the same.
My phone safari iPhone it literally looks completely fine to me. The only thing that looks different is the pinned posts.
It literally doesn’t look any different. I think GD being a bit dramatic as usual.
It “literally” does.
The list of threads is spaced apart and the new posts dot is below the cut off title. The blue rectangle with the post numbers in a thread is a cut off square that’s almost too small and squished. The row of buttons beneath a replay are spaced out further. The share, bookmark, track buttons are oddly large, spaced improperly and in several rows now. There’s a lot more padding in places it shouldn’t be on mobile.
It’s less legible too. The letters are too thin. If they at least applied a bold to the text in the mouse-over previews it would help but this is a terrible choice made to strain eyes.
