Bengt Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I find the new rules forum kind of annoying. The whole sort on rating makes threads with a lengthy discussion hard to read. I know there is a button to sort on date, but I have to click that every time and then find where the actual newest post is. An account setting to always sort rules threads on date would solve this for me (if there is such a setting I couldn't find it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I really like the new look, feels fresh and PRO. The only thing I'm missing (or haven't noticed yet), both in normal and mobile version, is the button to jump to latest content in a thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Oh dear the downvote came true! SGE I'm really sorry bro. Anyway the new forum is.. Well, very visual to say the least. Might take a while to get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I'm missing (or haven't noticed yet), both in normal and mobile version, is the button to jump to latest content in a thread.If you click New Content (top right area), you can click on the circle or star to the left of a post to go to the most recent.There might be a way outside that, but I only ever read via New Content :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrehorseman Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 The site is running incredibly slow for me right now but it could just be my computer. Where's the Hobby Room and forum for all things hobby (not involving Malifaux directly). Terrain building, Gameboards, Painting Tips, etc? That Terrain Building Resources list was especially helpful.

russrmc Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 the painting and modelling stuff went into discussion and interests, hobby room...about ten minutes ago, between me posting, and trying to reply to the post!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I tried to reorder something on the back end, and apparently it works very differently now. It should all be fixed now, just a bit of strange ordering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patzer Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I really like that you get a notification if your are being quoted. Makes for a nice "scholarly" feel. All and all, really like the new forums. Great decision, great execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All and all, really like the new forums. Great decision, great execution.Lol. I like that too. There are many things I like, but here are three things I really miss;1. The 'back to top' button.2. The 'preview post' button.3. When you hover over the 'like' marker in your posts, it doesn't tell you who liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 There doesn't seem to be the option to get into the old UI for writing an answer (the one where you can manually write the BBCode and so on). I find this highly inconvenient.Quote blocks are basically impossible to use without the old UI - is this something that is being worked on? Because I really, really dislike the new system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there another option you are looking for or editing/tag ability you are after?Also folks seemed confused or upset over the like/dislike buttons.

Preview, I'll look into but no promises.I think people's problem with the quote function is that it "drags along" other posts, this one for example where I had no intention to quote Math. I could have deleted it, but that may not have shown people's concern. Even if you choose not to comment, when you try to quote again, it gets "saved" and brought up again.Not entirely sure how you could fix that however.

I either delete the whole quote block or else I end up with weird non-quotes (I can delete the text but not the quote block itself if it is embedded inside another). And chopping up a quote to answer several points is cumbersome as well. I'm also a coder (well, these days it's more that I was a coder and now I mostly do Powerpoints and sit in meetings...) so I really appreciate having control.

Not sure I can fix it, but I'll see what can be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue with the like/dislike.... It might show 3 or 4 likes but doesn't show who it was. If you have the alerts set to notify you you will get a notification but that's a little lame....the old style (or like Facebook) all you had to do was hover the mouse pointer over it for a list.

When I do it, it ends up looking like the above - how do you do it? Pressing backspace or delete doesn't seem to work and I'm unable to somehow choose the quote block (without choosing all the quote blocks).Do you use Chrome? Wondering if it can be browser-specific?

If I press backspace, it just somewhat bizarrely inserts your text into the Math Mathonwy quote block.
