What have you done to the forum?

I guess someone has to ask. What have you done to the forum? It is a mess and hard to operate.

    Idk what they did, but its a mess and hard to see anything. Won't be dealing with forums until this is ever fixed.

    Well if it was Vanilla that did it there may be little that they can do about it.

    Downgrade back to previous version?

    Personnally, the main problem I have is the color theme. The structure in itself doesn't seem to have change much (it feels more dense, which is not something i dislike).
    But the "all light grey and white" everywhere certainly doesn't help browsing and picking things at first glance, because lack of contrast between the various visual elements, and there is no way to switch to a "dark mode" (or at least i didn't find any).
    Something has been messed up in the css maybe...

    Well, looks like they messed up the forums for all their games in some giant "update" - overall it's hard to read and very uncomfortable for the eyes, no idea who thought this change was an improvement, but that person is just wrong...

    Want to know why?
    Because it sends a message!

    Oops! Almost thought this was the wrong page. I am guessing they are no longer paying Vanilla? This is probably Gearbox default or they are setting up their own to reduce costs. I must agree with this being too bright. I am going blind as I type this.... oh cra p noW i can t' see to tpye.

    There is a solution for some. There are extensions that you can download, they will alter the way you view any page. Stylish is the first one that comes to mind for Google / Chromium based browsers.

    I can't see the last post dates for the threads, so I can't tell what's new :(

    Threads with posts you haven't read have bold headings.

    Boooooo. Two thumbs down for the new look. I hope it is a mistake and gets addressed.

    And, maybe I've just been blinded by the white background, but I can't see a dev tracker anywhere.

    It feels like they lost a CSS-file or something.

    But it could be a move over to Gearbox forums to save money.

    Either way it sucks and is not very readable.

    As far I can tell, Vanilla is free.

    And you get what you pay for.

    We are aware of the forums experiencing some layout issues and are working on this as quickly as possible. Issue is appearance-only and forums remain functional. Thank you for your patience!

    Posted 20 hours ago - that alone tells you how much they monitor/use the forums.

    Yes, that implies whoever wrote the twit could not figure out how to use the forum neither. 🤦‍♂️

    Not for me. And there's no way to go to the last post either. Not much use any more :(

    Thank you for letting us know it's being worked on.

    Looking at the forum on this new website, it appears that they ported that template here.

    I do like that home page a lot better, just need to tidy up the forums a bit and it should be good. At least they got dark mode setup again here.
  • mintmarkmintmark Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 471 Arc User
    Yes, I agree with all those points. Although, I think some of it might be browser dependent too... a few hours ago, going to the forums through the playneverwinter link using chrome on android, I did get latest post dates and the link to the last post for each thread. But trying now with firefox on PC I don't see those.

    Also, differentiation between post and signature would be good, although they might have sorted that? I guess things are still changing...

    It looks a lot better when you access the forums through playneverwinter.com. It obviously is the same forums, but for some reason the old access path does not get the same CSS.

    It is not perfect on playneverwinter either, the actual post text fields need to be highlighter etc, but much better.

    Going through playneverwinter.com is much much better (closer to what it used to be). At least, it is not a mess like through https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums which is what I have been using and miles away from what it used to be. Thank you.
