New forums are bad, very bad

Everything changed for the worse after the latest maintenance for the forums:

1. Can edit messages only for an hour... but why?? If I have one guide I have to repost it hundred of times to modify it?! And you can bet I will do it compromising the order of the forum, more trash.

2. No easy way to use shortcuts, before it was '[B][/B]' now it's like '', again... why??

3. Removed colors (or no easy way to use them). Why you removed them? They were useful in many ways.

4. It's incompatible with mobile browsers. With Chrome on Android I can't read the forums because the text is cutted in half on the right side. I can't check the forums if I'm far from mine main PC... nice move, really.

5. I can't even copy/paste a text because it's messed up, I have to remove parts that overlap. One of mine guide is broken because of that.

What have you done, 1 step forward 5 steps back. I'm very disappointed. But why have you done these unasked changes? It was almost perfect before now it's trash.

Revert it, please!

    The only thing worse is being forced to use html now : |

    The quoting system is a nightmare. Before you used to be able to do [quote][/quote]

    Now it's

    : |

    And all the line breaks and such need to be added manually. Not sure why they even did it because most forums disable it so people don't do anything abusive with it.

    I agree. Bringing back BBCode would be a Very Good Thing(tm).

    Personally I like the recent upgrade to the forums much better. Much easier to read. When it was harder to read none of the rest of it mattered.

    As these are all technical issues, the thread has been moved accordingly. None of these changes were done on purpose and are on our list to be resolved by the Vanilla folks. Sorry for any inconvenience in the meantime.
