Who in their right mind(s) thought it was a good idea to make the Wargaming forums into some twisted Twitter-lite social media cancer epidemic? There's a very specific reason why I hardly ever even look at Twitter, and this "new forum look" has gone a long way toward reflecting that. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,790 [WOLF2] HazardDrake Beta Testers 6,753 posts 16,070 battles Report post #10 Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) The biggest problem I see is that the new look in mobile is not information dense at all. It pisses away MASSIVE amounts of screen real estate vs the old forum I thought I was on the desktop site when the new forum launched. This new look requires so much scrolling. I mean seriously, wth is this? The old forum I'd have four of these short posts on screen at a time. Is WG trying to give my thumbs a workout?

You realize the game dev team and the web team are 2 completely different entities. The guys who work on the forums and the main page have nothing to do with the game's development.

I was being a bit humorous... but maybe they should get together and think tank better things for the game... the forums do not need anything at all... never really did... never will.... just a waste of a dev teams time IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't work properly with Edge. Using Edge I couldn't vote in any poles and any time I would hit enter to go to the next line it would move the curser to the top of the page.

Using Edge I couldn't vote in any poles and any time I would hit enter to go to the next line it would move the curser to the top of the page. Edge is what's broken, or more properly, incompatible. Seriously, it doesn't even work correctly with many of Microsoft's web management portals (looking squarely at you, Office 365.) I've even had an MS tier 3 tech tell me he always uses Chrome instead of Edge. As do I. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
554 [ONE38] MrKilmister Members 3,782 posts 14,818 battles Report post #21 Posted June 15, 2017 Meh... The only thing is I'm not certain about how to embed images. I presume it should be Insert other media button located down at the right corner. I tried it this morning and it seemed to work but when I looked again later on another computer (MacBook) the image was missing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I especially like when you are looking for unread forum topics it must list the users who just changed their profile pics.......... Pointless drivel. Luckily I killed the "reminder updates" that pretty much are just so much spam. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
