Alright so here is my 100%, no bullshit ball-gargling full opinion about the new forums IN COMPARISON to the old forums. This is also a personal opinion and I know things are still W.I.P...
Pros
I like the recent topics sort of slider thing on the index page
I like the way things are organised
I like the no tolerance for shitposting
Shoutbox seems neater
On a big screen, the Forums look amazing
The updated look is very good
Image Uploading and images in general
Video/Link Embedding looks good
Once you get your head around it colouring is quite expansive and better than old forums
Server List is better
New Ratings are good
These forums are actually super fast and have amazing load times, that's actually aplaudable gj
Cons
I miss my snip and Image
I can't set a custom group title or whatever it was called
The formatting for posts is awful... sorry but it's fucking shit. The way the old forums did it was perfectly fine
I can't see when people read my messages I've sent via chat
I can't subscribe to a singular post
unsnipped Horiziontal Lines don't work for me on iOS smh
The notification sounds and how they can't be turned down, only turned on and off.
No Staff count list (Yeah I know this is being worked on)
No general discussion for DRP and/or CWRP... instead now I need to name my posts as [CWRP] (enter title)
Colouring is hard to get your head around
iOS view is a clusterfuck and as a primarily mobile user I wanna kms
Those are what I find to be the pros and cons of these new forums, I will admit although the change is nice and I appreciate what you guys have done I find it to be a bit unnecessary and rushed. The change from BBCode to Markdown (I believe you said it was) I don't get, but I am sure you had your reasons. I feel like if you changed the template of the old forums it would've saved a lot more time and it would've better and saved a lot of time (and my forum posts and reputation). Maybe in time it will end out better than the original forums. It's not bad, but it's not as good as what my perception of Superior Servers products standard should be at either. I may be the only person that feels this way, or many others may feel this way. You may care about my opinion or not, but that's what I think about these forums as of now.
