Please feel free to leave your comments and thoughts on the new web-site here. I'm going to get rid of the big new blue bar at the top first...

    Forums look amazing, I just wish when I clicked on the "general" forums button on the index the subforums contained within were already somewhat expanded with their respective latest post.

    I've decided to change my profile picture due to the new photogenic badge, I thought this one was appropriate.

    Awesome work! Really!
    One Question though: Is it possible to change the color of "webbed" (pinned) Topics? Background or Titlecolor?

    As far as I can tell, still missing a "What's New" section. It should just list every new post, the first 3-4 lines of it with a "see more" button that opens the thread/post in a new tab.

    i like reading what people post. i just can't be bothered to open every interesting thread and look for new posts, I can't be the only one.

    It's sort of hard to see where the "webbed"/stickied posts end and where the new posts begin.

    I haven't had time to check out all the nooks and crannies, but it's visually astounding. I lack the words to describe what a transformation the site has undergone.

    I find the whole badge system a bit eyebrow-raising. Only time will tell if it's for better or worse.

    It's kind of crazy to think about, but we've been using the old forums for a decade. A change after 10 years would normally put most people off, but I must say, I'm impressed. I really like the 'agree' and 'awesome' features. I'd even like an option to somehow enter a thread and instantly take a look at the posts with the most agrees/awesomes. It would be very helpful when entering a twelve page thread debating balance.

    Well done guys.

    I really like what I see, the only thing that bothers me outside of some of the navigation issues is that the webbed topics don't feel separated from the rest. That tiny divider that was present in the previous forums will be missed. R.I.P. Divider old friend.

    Also updating my avatar so I can feel flashy and new as well.

    I love the ability to mark things as 'awesome' or 'agree,' only thing I'd consider adding is a 'disagree' or something along those lines. A lot of posts can get pretty ranty and off topic, it'd be nice to have a way to filter those out to get to the real meat of the thread.


    edit: Actually, just saw the Flag button allows you to flag stuff as trolling. not a bad idea but I worry about the intention there, does that mean that it's so troll-worthy that it should be deleted? or just that it's not contributing to the discussion so people should avoid reading it?

    Found an issue: The "Store" button leads to an unknownworlds.com 404. Should link to Steam, since I don't think we sell anywhere else.

    Edit: Game Guide also 404s (it could if nothing else link to the official NS2 intro videos or the NS2 wiki). Also, going to parts of the website outside of the forums asks you to log in again. Do the forums and site have separate login statuses?

    There are a few bugs that need ironing out, one of which is the icons setup. No doubt we'll get these things sorted in due time. It's been a huge amount of work just getting this far!

    Fixed the Store and Game Guide links. There seem to be a couple of issues with the login widget, we'll be fixing that in the coming days.
