change the forums layout back

Postby Nellyfox » Fri Apr 22, 2016 4:32 am

I know there was a vote but come on. This new layout is the most inconvenient thing ever.

It's really bad for people who just want to post one bug report, or one role...it seemed good on paper, but the original layout was fine and nothing needed changes...

Excuse me while I worry if someone got to this before me.

How buried things are is pretty silly yeah...
Plus having "fixed bugs" and "Not bugs" just on their own and not in the actual bug reports are just looks messy.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
At least make Role ideas under suggestions
And bug reports with bug reports

This is hard to navigate and wastes time :\
I don't even know what Web Client does. Is it ToS discussion essentially?

The current layout literally hurts my eyes, it looks horrible, and it's not really straight forward to find anything since all the boards are buried under other sub boards(and it probably wouldn't be easy for random new people to find bug reports or report players yada yada)

It's better to have it split like bug reports, suggestions/feedback, yada yada. But having everything cluttered into a ton of sub boards within sub boards within 2 boards really just makes everything irritating to find(especially since the forums are being slow :roll: )

I agree with view new posts...so many boards are named the same thing too and it bugs me a lot.

I don't mind changes too much...is what I'd like to say. I mean, if it actually organizes, then sure. This however is not organizing.

It's so bad that there are multiple threads on this, each in different places.

Please, for the love of all that is BMG, change it back.

I didn't think it was awful, but I had the most difficult time locating this thread so perhaps it is an issue.

I don't even know where anything is anymore, help. I literally don't. There's like a sub-board in the sub-board of the sub-board and honestly I think this crosses the line from "organization" to "now everyone is lost". :/

Like honestly, we shouldn't have the forum board unless we know for sure we're going to get funded on the KickStarter. If we don't, it's pointless. :v

Even if the Card game did already exist, lets be honest - almost noone will discuss it on forums, and if they do, then it really could have been 4th Discussion forum.

But yea, this layout is utterly horrible. I dont get it why they couldnt leave it on the layout they used before this. Like, the new one, where you would have all the bug sections together and those were separated to subforums, and the other sections were more natural.

This is literally horrible - with Role Ideas hidden under Feedback, its most likely most people will put their role ideas into suggestions. And finding the actual forum for individual threads will be a pain. As a heavy forum user, Ibelieve I will get used to it eventually, but what about the new forum posters? They will be horribly confused.

This is not even discussion. Change it back, guys, and as soon as possible.

I understand the intent to organize it, but it's now a bit confusing and inconvenient. It took me about 5 minutes to find Bug Reports. If you're going to try this new format, at least make a post about the organization under Announcements or FAQ. Also, Bug Reports being the only thing after clicking on "Web Client" is unnecessary.
