(XBOX)Mentor0fHeroes Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 THEY FIXED IT! I can't believe it, so much time has passed-- *Sniffle* š„ I- I had almost lost hope ššš, but they did it. And honestly, they did a better job of fixing it than I thought they would. They fixed nearly all of the problems which people were complaining about, as well as some that I hadn't even noticed until theyĀ fixed it. But there are still a hand full of small problems I noticed right away, but they're nothing compared to the mess mobile forums was before, so I wouldn't be surprised if DE &Ā Invision just ignored them. Ā Small issues I've noticed with forums even after the update fix: -There are 27 editing tools available to use when on the pc version of warframe forums, but on the mobile version there are only 7. The mobile version: The pc version: -This isn't specific to the mobile version, but the way a spoiler tab is set up, you often can't move it after filling it with text. The way the spoiler tab is now, you can only move it from the top left, which is fine, so long as you don't want to move it down. And it doesn't function the same way your mouse does when selecting text. If you try to drag down while moving a spoiler tab, it doesn't scroll to the bottom of the page. Right now, the only way to move a spoiler tab down after having filled it, is to empty it first, which sucks. One easy fix would be to allow the spoiler tab to be moved from the bottom as well. Ā Ā Back when mobile warframe forums was still bad: Spoiler Warframe forums has been left pretty deformed after the recent update. Sure, they ended up fixing this problemšĀ Ā but the mobile version ofĀ forums is still an absolute abomination. Ā Just in case you don't use the mobile version, Here are some of its newest features sinceĀ the recent updateĀ š: -The profile tab... gone -Account settings not accessible -Can't view list of posts you've made in the past -Notifications not working properly -There's a giant pointless empty space to the right of the page -Sometimes text gets locked into a certain color and cannot be reverted to automatic (I thinkĀ this was always a problem,Ā even before the update, but I thought I'd throw it in the list anyway) -You can't edit or comment posts when using safari and a number of other internetĀ browsers (This was also always a problem, even before the update, but I thought I'd throw it in the list too) -Also, not necessarily about mobile version, but now you can only see a post'sĀ view/ replyĀ count as decimal when in the thousands. That's a downgrade, change this back please. Ā Also, this is what the mobile versionĀ looks like now (Need I say more?): Ā Other Grievances: (I tried to make these actual quotes, but couldn't make it work on the OP) Me (this one's not a quote):Ā Lately, if all I have is my phone and I want to check up on one of my posts, I have to go into the search bar on the forums website to find it. But lately even that hasn't been working, some of my posts just aren't showing up. So instead I have to search for a different post that I made, and from there go into my account. Then scroll down until I finally find the post I was looking for... Gahhhh!!!

GearsMatrix301Ā said: "I just hope itās a sign that the forums are still being worked on. I need my toolbar backĀ :(" Lei-Lei_23 said: "Yeah, onĀ mobile the accessibility is very limited. Youāre forced to zoom out to 50% Reader View and have your phone or mobile device tilted sideways in order to expand to desktop mode, giving you the full amenities of the forum options. It wasnāt like this before, or at the very least the only options affected was certain post privileges like bullet/number points etc. Prior to the changes you could access your Profile, NotificationsĀ and Latest Staff Replies, and the forums form-fitted themselves to the view of the mobile deviceās screen without breaking toward the right and portraying empty space. This is just very inconvenient." Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drachnyn Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 oh I didnt even notice. Dont forget that they forgot to give us dark theme on the day they redesigned the forum look a bit.

It's not really about the broken logo forums pic. If that were the only thing wrong with forums then I wouldn't have made a post about it. It doesn't effect me and I would assume they would fix it whenever they got around to it. But this is not the first thing to go wrong with forums since the update. There appears to be a pattern forming and not the good kind. This post isn't me saying they made a mistake in forums, this post is me saying they made YET ANOTHER mistake in forums, and the mistakesĀ are beginning to accumulate.Ā This isn't just about the picture, this is about the trend. And on top of everything that has gone wrong with forums so far, don't you think messing up your own logo is a bit unprofessional, or at the very least embarrassing? I know I'd be embarrassed. If I were in charge of warframe forums and found out about this I would drop everything and fix it right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... yeah. I didn't know Invision oversaw warframe forums, but DE has their signature all over this website, wasĀ it so crazy for me to think they are the ones to blame? And in all likelihood they areĀ still partially responsible, but that's hardly the point. It doesn't really matter whoĀ is to blame, only that something is wrong and it needs to be corrected. And I'm not just talking about the picture, I'm talking about warframe forums as a whole. This update has made the mobile version unusable and the laptop version is just a little bit worse than it was before. Whoever is responsible needs toĀ fix what is broken here.

If something goes wrong on the forums, there is only so much that DE can even do. Doesn't matter. It's DE's responsibility 100%, as a large video game company, to keep their forums working smoothly.Ā Even if theyĀ outsourced it entirely, which I doubt,Ā then they are to blame for outsourcing it. It doesn't shift the responsibility from DE in the slighest.Ā If as a company you have something you are supposed to maintain, and it isn't maintained properly, you don't shift blame when the consumer complains by saying "but I outsourced it to a third party!" you say "sorry about that inconvenice", and you get it fixed, even if it means changing third parties, putting pressure on them, or switching to doing it yourself. You fix the problem. You don't take a lazy cop out by going "but it's a third party so it's not my fault" and ignore the issue. That's just bad customer service and not how a competent company works.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
