ANNOUNCEMENT Welcome to the new forums!
- Thread starter Paige Harvey
- Start date
I much prefer the old forum. The topic fonts were smaller, so I could skim though 50 topics per page, and now it takes forever to find stuff endlessly scrolling. The lack of rep means I cant tell if a comment is from a dedicated player or trusted to be accurate. On a 2K screen, it looks like the forum is designed for 720p, or worse, mobiles! I had to press CRTL and the Minus (-) key to zoom out to 80% just so it looks acceptable.
Other than that, I'm glad you kept the orange and black colour scheme, and the forum is at least similar looking, so not bad. I wish the home page was in the same colours, and not just white, this looks so 1996.
On the positive, looks like Attachments are working again, yipeee!

In my experience rep just narrows it down to them being very right or very wrong.
A good thing ! Give additional dynamism to the forums.
I don't know if this is the right place but
- Each time I click on any new messages I always go to the end / last post ( I had to go back to page 1 and read from the start the topic )
- Each time I click on mark read icon the forums dangerous, Features forum, bug forum and translation forum are not afected. I have to mark read each single forum, or I have to click on the mark forum read on the top but I am redirected ( at the end ) to the root forums and not where I was ( elite dangerous that is the forum I want to see )
- Characters in the main list titles is too big or there is too much space allowed for each post ( as you wish)). In ED bug forum I have to scroll half page ( with full hd resolution ) before to see the new post ( scrolling down all pinned thread )
- It is difficult distinguish old thread from the new ones just because the " bold "
- Not easy find a conversation using just a new tag ( often missing ) in the bug section how in other sections
- A lot of confusion in the ship / engineering forum. Not being interested in discussions about ships, I have to looking for tags related to engineers or read each title if the author has omitted the tag
- Spanish forum of elite dangerous discussion has been relegated outside, in the international forum, how is off topic discussion thread. All foreign forums ( english or other languages ) should be in the relative forum ( elite / jurassic etc etc ). I have to use 2 windows to follow spanish elite dangerous forum and elite dangerous general forum.

Definatley. Now we've got comrade Trumpski into position we no longer need to hide.
Just click on any visible 'Engineers' tag on the post and it will filter to only posts tagged as such. And then you can bookmark if you like, e.g. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/forums/elite-dangerous-ships-engineers/?prefix_id[0]=685
Thank you. I will do.
Very nice.
Hi,
I'm not sure where to report forum problems.
I want to change my Forum Avatar, but each time I upload a new one, the old one comes back.
I have tried deleting my old one. Then my avatar is just a D
But even after an hour, when I try to upload a new avatar, the old one still appears.
One difference in my avatar is that the old one is a multi frame GIF.
It displays on the forum with only the first frame.
When I try to upload a new one, other frames scroll by for a moment and then it sticks to the first frame again.
If the new forum doesn't support muli-frame GIF avatars, then can I please have mine changed to:

To be honest, it would be a pleasure to me if all the annoying animations were finally forbidden in avatars.
File under “Fine. Whatever” I’m trying to upload a static jpg.

It's a known problem with the new forum's caching of avatars. There are multiple threads on the issue in the forum feedback section. FD know about it, and I hope they find a fix soon.
I think mobile devices were a priority for the decision to change to this new format. Understandable, but for us old people, painful.
