New forums!

Well, at least you can post with your ‘main’ forum character.

If they don’t fix this soon, I’m gonna have to start all over again. Build a reputation and make myself a name around here with this character…:unamused:

Farewell Zarao, and welcome Nerconthis and all that…

Rebranding.

I’m also kind of creeped out by the notifications for likes… I can follow who exactly liked my posts and who didn’t? That makes it so… personal. I don’t like it.

I feel it too Nerconthis… Going to have to start all over again and this time without a Draenei in the background oO. Greymane help me.

So now if I can see who liked my posts and who didn’t I know who is my true friend!

Theronarum here.

Yeah, there are some problems with that. I’ve seen some possible solutions on the General forum, but they don’t work for me. I think I’m going to switch to either this character or to Empedocles, for as long as I can’t post with Theronarum…

Seems like the forums think that all characters are separate accounts. I also get notifications on Theronarum that I don’t get on this char. Interesting…

Does that mean we’ll see a new rise of the age of the sockpuppets? Or can we hope that this is a bug?

True. I guess the new like button shouldn’t be used the same way as the old ‘Like’ one.

Regarding possible solutions about characters for posting, I’ll investigate later. There has to be some workaround.

Meanwhile, I’ll leave you a heart :smirk: :+1:

Blizzard had to change the forum software they’re now using (Discourse) a lot to allow us to post with our WoW characters. It’s fascinating how they did it, every character has its own account – but I think that if we give them a little more time, they’ll implement something that ‘shares’ the characters’ accounts, so that apart from the name and the avatar, they become the same.

Curiously, I think I can like the posts I do with one character, with my other characters.

Not really a big deal, but isn’t it something ‘exploitable’ for the Trust level thingy?

Yes, that’s possible. I am afraid that the same goes for flags, and that we’re able to report a post multiple times as well…

EDIT

More proof that you have multiple accounts: you cannot edit your own post when you switch to another character. If I switch to Thero, I no longer can edit Haiete’s replies.

That’s quite worrisome yeah. I do wonder if the flag system works the same as the ‘Like’ button.
It would be kind of weird seeing who is reporting you.

Oh brave new world…

Well, I guess I do like the direct reply feature, as well as the bookmarks. And the scrollable threads without seperate pages aren’t bad either.

The rest… Maybe I’ll get accustomed to it…

I’m working on a guide that explains how flags work, since it’s a very interesting (but risky) system. In short, flags are the same as reports and are anonymous, but a certain amount of flags will trigger an automatic forum response.

I know there are some forums that follow this system. I guess we’ll all get accustomed to it given time.

Heroes and Ow forums apparently already work in a similar way.
It also kind of reminds me of the MMO Champion forum.

Edit: Anyone knows how to check the Trust level you’ve reached? Worried about the post count restrictions.

Another fun observation: Not only does this Wimbert have a different number of counted posts, when I post in my german realm forum (I just guessed that it might count them seperately for each sub-forum?), and I don’t get the same notifications at both places… No, the character even has a different number of achievement points… what?

How do I quote someone’s post? I can’t find that functionality :smiley:

76

Click the text and drag until you’ve selected the piece you want to quote. That’s the only way I know.

I’m fairly restricted atm, as I’m relying from my phone. Maybe in the PC you have more functionalities.

I guess it works, thanks :smiley:

Still couldn’t include in that quote a different quote. I tried to quote you quoting me but it all appeared as if you were the one who typed what I did.

Test complete. 100% Success rate.

Good job.

So this is Telriem and I’m fully confused, especially as I’m on my phone.

Edit - I hope I can post on my main again soon :c
