New DCS forum

Recommended Posts

Oh my! What happened to the forum! I really struggle to adjust: I do not clearly see what is new, I find it difficult to read and generally absolutely unattractive. I liked the previous forum very much. I'll adjust over time of course, but damn, what a strange experience!

I really hate the new forum... I know people worked hard on it and are probably proud of it but why fix something that wasn't broken? I don't see any benefits and its much less user friendly. I'd encourage ED to track if interaction on the forums goes down with the change...

Any chance of adding the option of going to the last page rather than typing its number? Any I don't mean by entering the thread first to then find that option but rather on the "outside" next to the thread's name:

"Go to the last post" or "Go to the last page".

Pretty much similar to what we had before.

 

Cheers!

 

EDIT:

Done! Thanks, ED :thumbup:

"Go to the last last comment" is already there. If you look all the way to the right, you'll see the small blue >> icon. That's the "go to last message"

 

 

I'm still waiting to see if we can get our old control panel back. Where all the subscribed forums show up.

While still I think it's less friendly and useful than before, I've managed to dampen a bit the readability problems by changing random stuff in the "My profile" and "User Settings" options, specially changing colours here and there (don't ask me what or why, I just did really random). Also the font size can be changed, and things like that.

 

Probably the thing is I shouldn't be having to do that in order to be able to read the forum and notice a bit the newly posted messages, but it's less painful now despite the missing "mark forum read" options and so. Take a look at those options.

Oh, cheers! Didn't notice that. Very small to see.

Have I missed something? I still can't see the page numbers there...

 

Not numbers but check out the right side where the player's name and profile picture of the last post on a thread are shown. You will see two green arrows. click on that symbol and it will direct you to the last page. Next to the thread's name another symbol of two arrows. Click on that one and it will direct you to the first newest post you missed.

Kinda works, but usually the last post thing doesn't even remotely scroll down to the last post and the other's got the same problem missing its target constantly. That happens when you use scripts instead of anchor links... so basically I either click the last post one and scroll up or click on page one and then the last one, both cases are two steps. The numbers were much more direct.

Switch it back already please. This is hell. Dont using it since the change. Just waiting for switching it back. This cant be serious. I dont remember when I heard that someone enjoy complete retheme. People are tired of learning same thing from start all over just for design change.

It sucks. When entering a thread, I cant' go directly to the last page of the thread and have to start at the first.

 

Navigation is clunky too.

Nope, there's a small button to the right of the last poster's name for that.
