Did they remove the "go to next unread post" function? Makes jumping into long threads WAY more difficult

It works for me, just click the dot or the star.

The avatars are low res because the pictures used to take less space on the old forum.

Huh, multiqoting actually works without switching to BBCode, noice.

Same - ALTHOUGH, those who uploaded custom avatars are not fuzzy.

So it's probably some lazy ish where we're seeing legacy effects.

true it does seem to be all the old ones.

Hope they fix that. What little color we got is in the avatars and theyre almost all smudged crud.

I really hope they will add custom avatars back. If you want to upload a picture that isn't supposed to be on the forum you can do it anyway. And custom avatars are great way of actually customising profiles and making people more recognisable.

It's also really jarring when you get used to a certain poster under a certain image... then someone else uses it.

Also, on the odd one or two times I've seen someone posting with the same images, I immediately get confused as to why I don't remember posting...

YUP! lol

Thats exactly why i dont like not allowing us to have custom avatars. I was using the Meganob Ork avatar and someone else started using it, totally threw me off when i'd see a post with that avatar and i was trying to remember why the hell i said those things in the post before noticing that wasnt me lol

For anybody else using Stylebot, this is a start:

.cForumList li div, .cForumList li ul {
    padding: 0;
}

.cWidgetContainer ul {
    padding: 0;
}

.cWidgetContainer ul li {
    margin: 0;
}

I don't like this at all.

But quoted text automatically cuts out anything that was quoted which will make any sort of discussion that had people replying to each other a pain to follow.

I'm confused by some of the comments - I still see who liked posts, but others can't?

Were you logged in? i can see who liked posts if I'm not. Other people are reporting the same.

I'm also wondering if having both an Asmodee and FFG forum account before the change makes some difference. I only had an FFG account.

Random note: I had 45 unchecked notifications yesterday (I was actively not looking at them for no good reason) and now they're all gone :(

On the other hand, new notifications can be delivered via browser popup (if you give the forum permission to do that). Yay!

I can forgive everything else.... as long as they give back the dark theme... my eyes! my eyes!

Theres a toggle option about showing when someone likes your post but its "disabled by the administrator" for some reason.

Well the leaderboards appear to have vanished, that's a start.

Did the new forum also mess with forum read marks? Just went to off topic and everything is "read" except three posts that have been created or added to this morning.

bah!

1. For whoever asked, yes, I was logged in when I saw who had liked posts but hey, logging out then back in again seems to have "fixed that" :(

2. The button next to someone's name doesn't take me to the next unread post but to he last post - I just "caught up" on six pages of the Rebels thread by Jumping to the end.

bah humbug!

Every time I load or reload a page, there's a popup begging me to allow this site to send me notifications, and my only choices are "allow" and "not right now".

Can't find an avatar pic I like from the ones available now, but then, I didn't have one before. The new look is a little to antiseptic for my tastes..

Has anyone managed to upload their own profile avatar?

Just thought of this...

I like the new look at least on mobile which is 99% of my usage. Much cleaner more mobile friendly.

Losing signatures doesn't actually matter to me since I turned those off long ago anyway so it looks like all upside for me. I also have had no problem seeing the 'likes' as they were previously so no complaints there either.

just wanted to post somewhere to see what i look like now, move along!

EDIT: also, my like to post ratio is off the charts!

Diito. Keep moving along.

Looks like likes are visible when logged in now! Woohoo!

I had totally forgotten that I had an Asmodee login name. Anyway, I used to be Lingula, now it's Verlaine.

Asmodee is blocked by work so I'll be living in from my phone. That sucks.

Freedom on avatars are cool, or so I hear. I can't find the section to do it.

No signatures is annoying. That's where I always went for my Cryodex downloads.

I had the same issue initially. Luckily one of the IT guys is a buddy of mine and got that "tech issue" sorted out for me. I would have been livid otherwise, so I feel your pain.

Also, I decided to try out some of the notification capabilities that I haven't ever tried using before with the new interface and all prompting some change. Really liked the idea of following things and having it show as notifications here, but not being able to toggle off the receive email option, and receiving 50 odd emails within an hour, meant I quickly dropped that idea.

Strange, wonder if they hotfixed something after seeing the rage of not seeing who liked things. Now i see them, relogged and theyre still there.
