Hybarf Tics.2048 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Love everything except for one, the removal of picture upload from my PC to here. That's the one thing I loved most before, now you made it a complicated inconvenience as in not practical at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it says 'New', it has either never been read, or there is a new post since you last opened it. If it says 'x New', you've opened it and there are new posts. The greyed-out feature was just easier, in my opinion, on the old forums. > > Good luck. That's not what im talking about. If you go here: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/ You can see that each Section has a mark as Read. I'm talking about the individual threads. It's missing and it's a basic feature we used to have.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It is the same, it's just not what we are used to. No little curvy arrow, but instead, a "New" icon, or lack thereof. Now where it is lacking is the pages showing sub-forums, as well as being confusing over never having opened the thread and having opened the thread, but only 1 new post in it. It could use some work, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also tell this is the case from the tooltip if you hover over the [New] Unfortunately, the 'New' (with no x before) doesn't _always_ indicate a thread you've never opened. Unless they've fixed that issue in the last 24 hours or so. Edit: Nope, it's not been fixed. Just looked at a thread I opened, started to respond to and then changed my mind, and it shows only the "New" icon. So, definitely not "New" on only threads that have never been opened.

Khisanth.2948 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Just experimented a bit. If the thread has multiple pages opening it without going to the last page does not seem to set the "read" status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not the same thing. I don't care how many post are in the thread, i want to option to mark the thread as READ. One tells me how many new post there are, the other automatically clears all new post without me ever having to enter the thread. They are different systems.   Screenshots added for clarity.

Pipilipu.4201 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I don't know if this also applies to the desktop version but it'd be visually "comfortable" if links would be colored blue or outlined in another manner. Also pls remove the bridge between the forums and the opened url. Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaken.6801 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 After using and adapting to the forums for a while now, I am looking for these functions in particular (some of them are part of mobile): * An adaptive control bar. In mobile the controlls will vanish and come back when needed (like stopping to scroll, etc.). On desktop it would be really usefull to have the top bar always be visible, even while scrolling. When I want to go to my profile, into messages and other stuff I have to scroll up quite a while, which can get annoying with the new layout (it is wider and feels longer). So having the controlls always on top would elevate that issue. * Add in a _quick up button_ , _quick down button_ or a combination of both that adapts to where you are on the page, so we can quickly jump down to comments or back up to the controls. This would also be a good thing to add to mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunjiKugashira.9754 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Can we please have the "Draft saved" pop-up not appear in the middle of the text we're currently writing or editing? Make the pop-up appear at the bottom-right corner of the screen or something, but not in the kitten middle of the screen!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunjiKugashira.9754 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 When subscribing to a topic, can we please get only 1 notification when something new was posted? I'm sure that 2 or 3 of the topics I've subscribed to have new posts, but the number 181 and the huge list of new comments don't really tell me which topics. I only know that 1 topic got a huge load of new posts, completely obscuring any other posts I might be interested in.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlaYer.2138 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I like the clean look, but I find the profile images very distracting. I'd prefer only certain individuals can have profile images (Anet staff, famous players, etc.), so it can look even cleaner. Just my humble opinion.

Archranis.2375 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Besides the annoyance factor, to me, the fact that we know the forums are saving drafts every minute is sufficient and the popups are totally unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrouFrou.4958 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 > @Khisanth.2948 said: > Preview works fine for me but but maybe that is part of the two star thing. The Preview/Edit/Save Draft buttons are misleadingly greyed out despite the fact that they are available for use. On the other hand the paging buttons are the same color ... You are right, it's part of the 2 star member status by the looks of it. It didn't work at all last night and now that I got bumped up to a 2 star thing, it works. Basic forum features like this SHOULD NOT be gated behind ridiculous things like this. This just promotes the mindset you need to spam as much as you can to unlock things, which is not really good nor healthy if you are trying to have meaningful conversations and all you get is "Sorry guys, I don't have anything to contribute. I'm trying to log off forums but it won't let me because I haven't posted enough so this is just a filler post to unlock the feature". Okay, that's not true how logging off works, but you get the point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Please allow us to preview edits. It seems counter-productive to have to post an edit just to check it. Then, re-edit it , if necessary. Also, why in the heck is chick (baby chicken) filtered??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Mines.7362 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 * Night mode * Move the "Draft Saved" so that it doesn't appear over what you are currently typing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge shot Grif.6450 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It's sooooo much worse on mobile. It's a feature that honestly needs to be gutted or at the very least reduced visually.

Menadena.7482 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Yes, my gaming rig is a nice big screen but when I am on a laptop this site shifts to the mobile version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oenanthe.6549 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 On my desktop I can work around it a bit, as long as I have the box I'm typing into right at the top of the screen the popup doesn't bother me too much I just have to remember to keep scrolling up so I stay typing at the top of the screen. It means I can only have about 4 lines of text visible at any one time. (And just of note while typing this the pop up appeared and covered the Preview button, so any errors are its fault not mine).

Alanar.9854 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I hate the pop-up on mobile as it covers up the post comment button and I have to move my screen around to access it when I'm ready to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 There was another thread in a different forum section just a couple of days ago. And yes, I agree, the placement of that pop-up overlay is highly unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silmar Alech.4305 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I use an adblocker with my browser (ublock origin on Google Chrome), and with this simple rule I get rid of the forum popups (unfortunatly not only the autosave popup, the others are gone as well - collateral damage): `guildwars2.com##.InformMessages` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
