• Missing Avatars
• Broken old bbcode
• Duplicated (broken) console forum accounts
• Themes breaking on mobile

EDIT: Seems you know that one already.

Is there no option to use the old 'full version' that just displays the webpage on mobile? I appreciate the time you've put into this new phone design but I have no idea what I'm looking at and no way of changing that. Can't stand fiddly drop down menus.

Unless I'm just being dumb and not seeing the option.

Edit: I can't edit my own profile? I know you're aware of it, but it's pretty funny.

I logged in as usual using the PSN login option, but seems the forum created a new user, got just 1 post instead 900+

[SeekerLoki]

I'm in the same boat as KrakenUnchained.

I need to ask... What happens to the Upvote button? Is it coming back? It was a good representative of what was a strong and popular opinion before, I hope it's not ditched for good!

[AM-Bunny]

Am I being blind or is there no way to pre-view posts?

[phoenix1992]

It works like an 4x4 with two wheels missing. My chrome also is not an fan, what browser should be most optimized for the new forum?

I really wish to have an short conversation with the person responsible for the side bar. I get that Warframe needs income, I do not get why do you think that shoving it like that helps. Be more subtle.

N̶o̶ ̶u̶p̶d̶t̶o̶s̶?̶ ̶B̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶m̶a̶d̶e̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶f̶e̶e̶l̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ ̶*̶s̶a̶d̶*̶
Updots are back.

I am the first to say, that I lack taste, but the new colours... just nag me. There was something calming in the old colour set + it was not so heavy on the eyes.

Feedback for your feedback.

   Not a fan of all the sidebar stuff going down the right side of the main forum page (Buy Platinum, Merch Store, Connect, etc.). As a vet, it feels like 'wasted' space as I have very little reason to click any of those links. I'm already subbed to the Warframe Youtube channel, I watch dev streams either as Youtube or Twitch vods, I'm poorer than dirt and likely won't purchase much, I don't care about Instagram, and I have a G-key on my keyboard set to bring up the Wiki.

   And, honestly, I preferred the activity feed being in the sidebar area because it gave me a direct/passive way to see random things being discussed all across the forums. Someone made Nyx fanart? Cool, I'll check that out. Someone's asking for the most efficient way to farm X thing? I can jump in and add my two cents. I know these topics were ones that were already being replied to, but it still gave me incentive to get involved. Now, I know can still access that information, but I have to go to the 'Activity' page to see it, it's not directly in front of me and gives me less reason to seek it out.

   Other criticism includes:

-everything looks too empty/big (lots of white space with a mix of huge text and tiny text [at 1920x1080], plus no real separation between posts [white post, white background])

--sub-point: white everything = r.i.p. my eyes

---sub-sub-point: bold text, especially on the main page (ie: categories with new posts), is hard to differentiate from normal text, on all Theme types

-lack of +1 feature (wut?)

-"new post, click to see" message never goes away if you don't click it

-the continued inability to use Tab to indent text (I used spaces) :(

     It seams those of us who've been part of the forums for a long time (and might have piled up heaps of old cookies) might experience problems signing into the new forums. Aside from the entire forums being shunted to the left as if there were something taking up the right side of the screen or something, It was nearly impossible for me to sign in. The way I fixed this was from clearing all the cookies I've had from warframe.com and it's forums. Since deleting these everything's working fine, but others might have this problems and not know the solution.

     So apparently it wasn't just the "old build up of cookies" I just had the issue again today. Could not log in, and only deleting my cookies fixed the problem. Additionally I was logged out in the first place? Before the update I was able to be logged in indefinitely.

Broken old bbcode

Along these lines: I have some Strikethroughs I cannot remove by any means on some of my old posts.

[Myscho]

Default theme is too bright, change the background or color scheme

[(XBOX)RVN World News]

I'm missing my 100+ post count I had before the change. Anyone else back down to initiate now? My whole post history is gone as well, only have a post history of 2 posts now so i can't even go back & see my old posts.

Personally, while i appreciate the update to the activity/dev last replies function, I think the old one should be kept too. Since it requires an extra click to make use of the new activity feed/dev last reply function, which is pretty inconvenient. 

Something i loved about the old last reply/activity feed, was the fact that you'd receive that information instantly the moment you entered the forums. :) This one sort of requires us to load a whole new page just to see what's up.

Is there a way to have both? _{Other than that, i love everything...}

Edited February 22, 2016 by Noabettiet
clearing (also because i wanted to know how the edit thing is now)

[Necrius]

I don't see upvote button. Is it intended and if so - why you got rid of it?

[[DE]Drew]

We're working on the broken console forum accounts. 

You're essentially using a -new- account. We'll merge it with your old one once we have the issue resolved.

When quoting a previous post using the dark theme, the quoted text is nearly unreadable.

So i can upvote Admin posts, but not user posts?
Hungry for love, maybe?

The new quote system is clunky as hell.

Guys I really want to love the new update, I know you worked hard on it.

Saw the quote.

[(XBOX) Xodus03]

The sign in through Xbox function has created a new account with a new post count for me and I can't edit any of my old posts (Clan and Alliance, ect).

Sorting format is set to "Custom" which seems to be sorting posts by newest created, not recently updated (which will prevent topics from gaining traction as a discussion).

We're bringing this feature back online for everyone. 

[SeekerLoki]

The old "jump to first unread post" button seems to be gone.

[Accelerator-EN-]

I like the new design but default theme is too bright. Dark theme is nice.

When I visit my profile & set "Don't allow others to follow me" in followers tab, it said "You are not allowed to edit this profile". Error code: 2C138/3
