Thanks for making a new forum.

[Danikat.8537]

Loving the new forum! The layout will take some getting used to, but it's already a major improvement over the old one!

[SunTzu.4513]

Mhm, the new design is pretty nice but there were a lot of really good discussions on the old froums wich i enjoyed to read....

Looking at this on my phone and it seems nice and streamlined! I don't know how to change my picture on it though, not even sure how to get to my account page haha. Might have to use desktop for some things like that.

On the top of the page next to the language selector click the gear icon. You can set the avatar there.

Working on custom styles. Here's my most basic improvements. And yes, I'm a boring person.Probably going to get rid of the bit where you can see who thumbed you up, unimportant information that's bound to start arguments. "How dare you up vote something I disagree with".

body * {font-family: helvetica, sans-serif !important;color: #333333;}.Section-Discussion .Content .Item-Header::after {background-image: none;border-bottom: 1px solid #333333;}.Section-Discussion .Content .Item .Item-Body::after {background-image: none;border-bottom: 1px solid #333333;}.Section-Discussion .Content .Item {border-bottom-width: initial !important;border-bottom: 1px solid #333333;}.DataList .Item {background: none;}.ReactButton {border: 1px solid #e1d9d9;background-color: #f9f9f9;border-radius: 5px;padding: 5px;}.Section-Discussion .Content .Item-Header .Meta time {color: #333333 !important;}

Im not a fan tbh.Too many icons for too many things (users upvoted liked whatever) while there isnt much text. The icons should IMO either be removed or made significantly smaller for things such as likes. I also find the division between posts should be better.

I LOVE THESE FORUMS THANK YOU

Does anyone know how to send a message to another forum poster? I've looked but I can't find a mailbox option or a way to message a person.

[Yargesh.4965]

Using my pad is really nice now compared to the old forums.

[wolftoy.3582]

nice new look

[Fosio.8217]

I need to jump on the happy train as well and Thank Arena.Net for it.Good job folks!

[Blude.6812]

Old ones need to be achieved so they can be accessed for more than a few weeks.

[Abdel.9086]

Thanks for making a new forum, Looks really nice.

[Paralux.6714]

I like the new forums! But it would be preferable if we could upload our own avatars. :3

[Ashen.2907]

I have never cared for the reddit forums, and was nervous when I saw the down vote option, but am relieved to see that downvotes do not bury posts. I am definitely willing to give the new forums a chance, and am hopeful that the investment in the forums, on the part of ANet, that the change represents indicates an intention to increase dev forum involvement in the future.

[Ameepa.6793]

I am hoping for options to modify the forums, like disable all the icons and avatars etc unneccessary shiny clutter. Oh and change the font size or layout, it's kinda odd to see only like 8 thread topics per page on computer screen.

Edit: oh nice, at least all signatures were possible to turn off :) Now just that font size..

There is a pretty nice (if I do say so myself ;) ) "How do I..." guide about how to use the forums here: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/386

Say thanks to the entire team for me, for this awesome new forum! :smiley:

[Doam.8305]

I'm just happy they finally added a thumbs up and a thumbs down option as that should cut down on toxic elements and people trying to dismiss and takeover other peoples topics.

[Zoltar MacRoth.7146]

Wow! This is quite a surprise to wake to. Kudos to you, Anet.

[Gloam Drifter.9158]

Going to give it a chance but feel like they need to fiddle with the layout a bit more.There is a lot of space between post text vertically because of the likes and giant usernames. There is also a lot more horizontal room which makes lines pretty long unless you resize the window (maybe its better on mobile).Seems like it would be good to put the username and likes on the left with the icon and set a fixed width more in line with the previous forum. I'm guessing this works better on mobile though and that is why it was done like this though I think a good medium should be more friendly for desktop users. I guess I can use browser extensions to modify the layout myself on desktop though if it comes to it.

I might also suggest that draft saved dialog just show up inline somewhere because its popped up over things a few times now. Seems to be a bit in the way sometimes.

On the good side though the new features are pretty nice.
