New Forum Feedback

BTW, do we have such guide here? :thinking:

As stated by @powbam, it’s still “Work in Progress”

If you need further guidance then stalk powbam, he gives useful tips on using the form effectively. But you might have to sort through his “other” posts so trad carefully. You have been warned.:scorv:

I am sure this has been answered, but every link I click brings me to the forum homepage for some god awful reason. After disabling my cloud save my characters disappear, where do i copy them from/to?

Welcome to the forum. :slightly_smiling_face:

If you were using old links you found via google then yes, the links are broken because Crate moved the forum to a new platform after the old forum came under hacking atttacks back in May which caused the loss of 18 days’ worth of posts/threads. To find the threads again simply do a search for either the title of the thread if you know it or use keywords to help find it.

As for moving your characters from cloud saving to local saves:

Finally go into forum, and now I get randomly logged off.

Nice forum.

Shouldn’t do.

I can absolutely guarantee that I did not create this topic.
(See the “Watching” info at the bottom)

(after logging in again)

It says you created it. And the forum never lies.

Hi. Is there a way to “find next” when searching for a word in a specific topic? Similar to ctrl + f, F3??

You can’t use the “traditional” method in a large thread (like this thread, for example) on a Discourse forum. This is because not everything loads all at once so the old method won’t work like that.

The best way is to do as shown in this screen below:

…and click the “More…” button to access the full view.

While I loved the art style of the old forum, I have no problem with the new changes in the least, I’m just glad you didn’t default to a blinding white palate like so many have done! :slightly_smiling_face:

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but here is my feedback. Is there anyway Crate can fix the forums that when you click on links it takes you to the actual post? Trying to find builds in other venues and clicking the link, only to find the “homepage” is frustrating. I want to see the builds. Tried to put the post# in the search and not sure what it sent me to, but don’t think it was right thing. Again, sorry if it’s me and user error. Really new to the forums and trying to learn. So please, feel free to me what I am doing wrong.

If there is not anything wrong and that’s how the forum works, is Crate working on a fix for this? Estimated time to have this fixed? Thanks for any help! Still loving the game and all the work you all do. Just gets frustrating not being able to find the posts I’m looking for. Thank you! :slight_smile:

This from the GD Discord

ZantaiLast Wednesday at 21:55

yes well I’ve requested the google bots to scour the gd site for updated search results and yet here we still are months later
we’re probably in some queue of 1 jillion websites, eta sometime before the sun burns out

Thanks! I really need to sign up for the discord. Always forget, until you point it out to me. This is, what, 3rd time? Hehe, I will do it…eventually!

Is this real or am I dreaming? I thought I got onto the wrong site for a second. First I couldn’t even tell what to click to get to the actual forum on the forum home page, then I couldn’t find the search button because it’s up there with facebook and twitter cancer for some reason. Infinite scroll is AIDS. Discord integration is AIDS. Google integration is AIDS. Your “modern” UI is AIDS in every way. I couldn’t possibly anticipate a UI that’s worse that beta Sankaku, Nexusmods, or new Steam update, but you did it, you actually dun did it. Web archive snapshots of this will exist for all eternity for people to easily get eye cancer when they get tired of it all. I came looking for an old Titan Quest build compendium and I just changed my mind, I can’t spend a single second more on this site. I just homed in on this thread and I’m going to close this page forever once the reply is sent.

I wonder if this loser realizes he didnt say anything new, that web snapshots reach practically nobody, and that despite infinite scroll being shit, linear-time navigation is still very much possible within the current syytem.

It amazes that people can feel this personally attacked by a freaking forum UI, lol.

Someone tell me why the new search doesn’t take you to the exact location (line) of search result.
For example searching for ‘rotgheist’ in the following patch notes and clicking the 1st result


moves you at the start of the post so I have to click CTRL + F two times to get the standard browser Find Menu to show but you know CTRL + F doesn’t work properly with the infinite scroll and disappearing posts. Please correct me if I’m retarded and there’s a good way to do it. I like new forum but I find it hard to search for stuff.

To sum up: the search feature doesn’t work for long posts

That’s fairly interesting considering that it seems fine to me. I went to the bottom of that thread… used the forum search to find it and go to first post… then used browser search to find the lines no problem… whats the issue again?
