This layout is terrible:

Ok, I don't normally complain about the way other people present their stuff, because its their choice, but this:


goes too far. Please...use a better forum layout. That layout is NOT friendly to read at all. Stuff is ALL over the place.

For what it's worth, if you click "categories" at the top right it brings you to a similar view that is a little more palatable.

But yes, finding new posts, tracking posts that you care about, or using the search are all hilarious on these forums.

beckylunatic

It might have been a glitch (which I was hoping for). It doesn't seem to be doing that anymore.


Okay, in my upper navigation bar, if I click "Home" instead of "Neverwinter", the layout doesn't totally suck.

lirithiel

Yes but after you click on categories there isn't a way to navigate back unless you click back arrow on your browser. Agreed, this is truly terrible!

kreatyve

It's not showing that way for me. Not sure exactly what the issue is for some viewers. What browser are you using and have you tried clearing your cache? Vanilla has been doing changes on their end.

I normally do not complain about the way people present their feedback, because it is their choice, but please do elaborate on what browser you're using, platform, and just where you're seeing this (the exact URL), for I nor many others cannot see what you're seeing. ;P

I'm using Chrome, latest update, on Windows 10 and clicking Home and Categories shows a very nice orderly list, unlike what you're showing us.

The layout being discussed appears when:
clicking "Forum" (http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter/#/categories/neverwinter)
or clicking Home > "Neverwinter" (http://forum.arcgames.com/neverwinter/categories/neverwinter)

What two30 said.

The layout might appear differently for those than run the Forum Enhancement Script, which I highly recommend: www.arcgames.com/en/forums/arc?byNode=true#/discussion/1195098/pwe-forums-enhancement-extension-discussion-and-requests

The forum is a true mess in many ways. You need a buttload of external plugins and scripts to get rid of the arc frame and make the whole thing visually bearable and usable.

Ewww. Ok, I see it now. Please use this link: http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter/ Andy is on vacation, and Vanilla has been doing some changes behind the scenes. I will bring it up with Andy when he gets back from vacation.

Also extremly annoying in this new idea that I can't see the subforums, I don't want to click PC and then general discussion and feedback, it used to be listed in the frame itself, so it was possible to open the subforum directly from that page. Same with Class subforums.

It's exactly the same on the 3 major browsers, chrome, firefox, edge. Super bad.

I hear you on that one. I completely agree. Just can't do anything about it until Andy gets back from vacation (and honestly, probably will have to wait til a few days after he gets back because he's gonna be swamped).

for what its worth, its the same on Mac OS sierra with latest safari.

Most of the people in this thread have over a thousand posts. I have the "discussions" link (http://forum.arcgames.com/neverwinter/discussions) bookmarked and I assumed that the other forum addicts were using the same.

P.S. Anyone with more posts than me is a hamster, and anyone with fewer is a hamster.

Looks like this on my custom chromium build. Not sure why you guys have this.

Yup, using an old bookmark to: http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter/#/categories/neverwinter
And not http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/categories

The second one looks okish. The first one is the bad.

silverkelt

I vote we go back to the old forums.. can we also dump the ps4 and xbox crowd into a consolve vs pc forum.. jeepers.

armadeonx

I absolutely loath the new design.

I see just the page headers without descriptions & I'm using Chrome Version 53.0.2785.143 m

Official dev tracker to, for when this get fixed please.

I see the same thing as Fab. I'm using Windows 7 Google Chrome.

There is a working dev tracker and I personally wouldn't put resources into something that already exists in sufficient form. Stuff is even streamed to Twitter so that's actually an upgrade to the tracker we had on the old forum. I get it's not "official", but an "official" one also wouldn't add anything besides being "official".

wylonus

simple, one word for arc and vanilla, "STOP"!!!!!
we are fed up with changing the forums, it is waste of time for them to mess with it, it take some players/readers to find thier own favorite topics. folks are hating to get adjusting over and over when forum changed too often.
my opinion, "ENOUGH!"

zebular

We're aware some users are experiencing this wierdness. For the time being, we suggest to use these links:

http://forum.arcgames.com/neverwinter/categories
http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter/#/discussions

These are the two links you see labeled "Categories" and "Discussions" up top far to the right of your Avatar.

Thanks, we don't need anymore information at this time. It's clear now that it affects all users who are using the base "Forum" link in the Arcgames.com menu header. In the mean time, please instead use the the "Categories" or "Discussions" links far to the right of your forum Avatar. The "Categories" one there is what should be displaying when clicking "Forum" but for whatever reason, it is not. So, for now, please use the "Categories" link in place of clicking "Forum."

I was wondering the same actually, I create websites for a living and couldn't believe the official forums looked that shoddy!
