Forum Feedback and Suggestions (NOT Game Feedback)

[The Bowman]

@Janus Any chance to see an instant messaging system implemented? It could prove useful to re-direct off-topic or quarrels in private.

 

[Aeronwen]

Language options for the forum (your account > preferences) include English (US) but not English (UK). Any chance of being able to have the real thing?

Haven't had too much time to check out everything yet but the main thing I've noticed is that the game icons and forum ranks on a user's profile aren't designed for such a dark colour scheme. Might be worth a rethink/edit of the icons at some point.

Apart from that, really liking the new update. Hopefully we can add more features and tools as time progresses.

EDIT: Would be nice to also add support for animated GIFs in the avatar as well It lets you upload them, and even plays its animation in the preview, but when saved its static

they look Ok if you change your Default style (botttom left) to light though. It will improve the forum experience immeasurably.

The member list has a very useful search function but I miss the alphbet selection and also being able to order the list by original forum join date - is that gone for ever?

So far, I have encountered an issue with smileys adding themselves when I don't want to. For example, my signature contained the text '(30.12.201', but the forum decided to covert the '8' and ')' combination to this emoticon. I wish there was an option to disable smiley shortcuts in signatures (if there is not one already).

Try this:
(30.12.2018)

[PLAIN](30.12.2018)[/PLAIN]

I indeed don't think we'll have support for animation. Sorry, the method indicated to support them chewed up a bunch of processor power and then didn't work.

@Zombie Warrior here:

Take note that you can save your filter settings as default.

For me it was quite useful on the old forum to see who is browsing my board/thread:

Now this info is only visible on the global, the whole forum, level.

I like the circular avatars. I said it, you can bash me now.

 

[Do not look here]

A minor thing, add 'Forum Ranks' part back to the Help menu.

 

[Eärendil Ardamírë]

Some informations about how the ranking up is now working would also be nice. Not sure if it still works as in the old forum as you cannot see anymore the days but only the hours. I can calculate the days, yes, but not sure if you plan something new anyway.

If you hover over a profile the pop up has a time online, like: 105:03:26. It is Days:Hours:Minutes, so the information is there, but not clear what it means on the first glance.

Yeah, I saw that and as you mentioned, the meaning is not clear to new people. At the old forum you have had the information about the days too after looking up the profile since the forum ranks was depending on the days spent online (https://forums.taleworlds.com/site-old/index.php/topic,16200.msg387137.html#msg387137)

Can't associate with Steam "An error occurred while connecting with Steam. Please try again later."

I cant update my profile because it keeps saying "Please match the requested format" on my youtube, twitter and steam profiles. If i delete my steam profile it says a problem with twitter, i delete that and it says a problem with my youtube channel ID despite these working on the old forum and being the correct format.

The point is originally we could have a choice. You could have circular avatars before if you wanted to, but now every avatar is a circle.

Good, because square avatars are ugly.

It auto loaded the links from the old forum but they dont work here.

For twitter just remove the '@' symbol
For steam I have tried everything and cannot find the right format
For you tube check you are using the channel ID not your user ID it is in advanced setting

Wrong. If you think the fundamental shape of a square is any uglier than a circle, you are mentally smeared. It is literally impossible for squares to be "uglier" than circles.

My avatar is now a square.

How dare you commit such treason?
