ANNOUNCEMENT Welcome to the new forums!

New posts/What's new currently shows threads across all 3 games - is this planned to be changed? I could swear Brett said that this would be on a per-game basis.

Also, are there plans to improve the RSS feed? Currently there is just one feed for the whole forum, previously we could have a feed for each forum section, which was excellent.

We're aiming to split the new Posts things up in the future.

If you add .rss to the end of any forum URL it should give you the feeds you want.

Related to this, there doesn't appear to be a way to ignore forums and therefore not see the other stuff when using New Posts.

Re the lack of a light theme: if anybody is desperate and is using Chrome, they could install the extension below, then visit the forum and paste into the extension the content of the spoiler (a rough and ready light theme).

Excellent thanks Paul. Just one more bit of feedback - would be nice if staff posts stood out more like they did with the old software (i.e. different background and/or FD avatar etc.)
 
Having trouble to edit the main post of my tool thread (TCE), getting "The submitted message is too long to be processed. Please shorten it. ".
Kidding, right? Wasn't an issue before!
Definately a setback! :mad:

Hate to repeat myself, but these inverse themes from news & off topic to ED forums is too much for my eyes, either allow the user to set a site-wide theme, or force a site-wide theme on us.
After using the forum a couple hours, the current design is not working for me.
 
You're right, turns out it's an American zebra crossing.
I think my struggle logging in is partly because the captcha is a sort of IQ test that I'm too dim to work out!
I find they're usually too blurry to recognise what I'm meant to see. They are seriously bad at their job, but they mean Google gets to suck you dry of data while you use or try to guess them.
 
Yay new forum! Well done, it looks... edgy. But as others have wondered, where is the backers forum? Hard to be aloof away from the crowd without it!

Of course, we could request having the old forum reinstated besides the new forum, so people could set fire to their own trail or something...

:D S
