New forum woo

It is so nice and easy to use. Looks very well so far.

The old one was very unintuative if you asked me but I also did not use it much.

Managing groups and subforums was such a pain ^^
Also it wasn't useable with the mobile phone at all.

I'm happy we have a forum that works properly on mobile. But we're in desperate need of an actual design.

Most of these nodeBB forum places have custom themes that can solve all the issues I see here. I sent a message off to Brutus about helping to create one. If you can do CSS, please do the same.

Also, pirate english master race.

Holy cow this new forum is ubersexy. Also, great to see the inevitable and unstoppable march of progress and improvement for FAF

The response time is just amazing. Due to being a single page application and not reloading the page each time, this thing is so blazingly fast and light weight.

The old one reminded me of the good old days on the GPG forums but that's no reason not to move to something more modern.

can YO U "at" people here @speed2 ?
cool!
the available emojis are weak! more meme stuff pls! preferably animu! XD

i see it is connected to the FAF database.
is there a possibility for having current FAF player names displayed next to the forum names?

speed2

@foodlfg You can, and no anime bullshit, thanks

@foodlfg The forum name is your FAF player name. If you change your FAF name your forum name will get updated.

Mr-Smith

Looks nice so far

Rowey

Dark mode yes!

foodlfg

can someone disable these ugly emojis pls?

SOON <- this tm is an unicode char but it gets changed to a shitty picture.
<- why? a simple : D
<- this unicode char emoji is changed as well

as for unicode emojis, cant we just use the ones that are on discort or twitter?
as for the others, throw them out.

@nine2 the side by side preview feature is cool, but it looks less...what's the word...manegable? Intuitive? user friendly? than the old one.

Too much white, too little emphasys.

LegionDarrath

@DDDX you can change the theme though which is a huge plus. I'm personally using "Cyborg" for a less bright experience. If you click your profile icon in the top right and go to settings there's a "Theme" dropdown. Cyborg is pretty much black, Darkly has grey and Slate has a lighter grey. The others are all white and bright.

So nice to have a movie friendly forum now
