Nope, I can confirm right now that I hate it. The infinite scrolling is unpleasant on a computer format, and hell on phone as soon as the posts are somewhat longer than on the pet peeve (hello topics with stories that were already not great to navigate one phone, you’re awful now. Hello campaigns topics, you’re also awful now). I have no idea where that answer will be put because posts in a chronological order is for loosers apparently.
I disagree a lot with that font: if I zoom to be able to read what people write, the part for answering grow uncomfortably big.

No, I see no redeeming features to this design, and I don’t need 15 years to be able to say ‘that design is unpleasant, counter intuitive and generally bad’ and I don’t see why I should wait to say it when we can see it right now in front of our nose.
[Edit] Good point, it -does- put me at the end of the page. Congratulations forum, you kinda works like one! Yay. I’ve no idea how to quote now though.

I also figured out it was the discord links causing the problems. The community links are clickable now.

That’s completely counter intuitive but I’ll remember it. Button for it is alright, I’ll give it that. Thanks!

This new forum format… Oh my god, I don’t like it : (

[Loras-argent-dawn-9256 (Loras)]

I’m frightened, change is scary

[Cadbury-argent-dawn (Cadbury)]

Oh. This is strange.

[Yue-argent-dawn (Yue)]

New forums are actually p. awful, tbqh. A lot of jank.

[Loras-argent-dawn-9256 (Loras)]

I seem to have been released from the depths of the shadow realm in this forums cataclysm, which is nice

I guess the positive side of that is that it prevents people from quoting someone else’s post and replying with constructive powerhouses such as “lmao” or “tldr”.

And of course the dreaded “first” under a newly posted Blizz article.

[Cadbury-argent-dawn (Cadbury)]

At the very least, I do have a pet peeve to list.

I was hoping to just sneak in a Timewalking dungeon, but on the second pull of trash into the Slave Pens, the group kicked me because I was stealing aggro. Probably because I was doing 45% of all damage in the group. Didn’t even tell me, just straight up booted me without a word. I just thought the tank forgot to put down their taunts, and I would have used Tricks of the Trade to keep it on them, but, no, kicked.

Now I gotta wait half an hour to do another one even though I didn’t really do anything wrong.

(Also I remembered I can use emojis so, fantastic.)

Testing quotes. Also apparently you can @perroy now as if this was Discord, so let’s check.

[Ttestchar-defias-brotherhood]

Confusion is killing me with those new forums . I cannot change the character even.

[Loras-argent-dawn-9256 (Loras)]

I can change my character, but only this one is capable of posting, alas.

[Ttestchar-defias-brotherhood]

I do not see even other chars available to be picked . Out of max level I have , why suddenly character I made for test long time ago . Don’t get it at all.

Pet peevery of the lovely grappling class I go to where yesterday every sparring partner loved to go for my right arm.
Us GaMeRs HaVe It HaRd

And yeah the new forums, going to get used to it. Likes are visible now, which is something I need to remember

[Heidrik-argent-dawn]

The amount of needless clutter these new forums have, gah! I’m only here to lurk and I’m still annoyed.
Edit: Also, why can’t I just post on Koiffen, I’m not even close to having this dwarf as my main!

[Syanidi-argent-dawn (Syanidi)]

No fun allowed in forums

[Koiffen-argent-dawn (Koiffen)]

Also, I can post on Heidrik and then like it on Koiffen, what in the world even is this new system? Can I just make an alt-army to upvote myself!?

[Syanidi-argent-dawn (Syanidi)]

Yes, you can have your alt army to uv yourself
