This new forum is sweet. Any features I should know about?



Easy way to find out:

  • Copy something very wordy and paste it into one of your posts.
  • Keep going 'til you find the limit.
  • Then simply edit it out of a post so you don’t have some potentially gargantuan post of gibberish.


Perhaps make use of a character counter: https://wordcounter.net/character-count



I had a huge link in GI thread but it looks like id cant be loaded…hopefully yet
Cause that post had reached its limit in the previous forum. fingers crossed

Well, I would gues it’s pretty high if it’s taken Zantai’s changelogs. He had to increase the limit on the old forum to handle one of them.


Just posting this link here because I want the badge yo.

Kind of strange to me. Will have to get used to it. Wonder why they picked this format?

Trying the link share.

I was secretly hoping this would be the new forum. Discourse is a breath of fresh air after vB. It’s also an excuse to use my gif folder, uploading stuff to this forum by dragging and dropping into the editor, wheeeeee.

Edit: I once frequented another discourse where I earned most of the badges, now I have to start all over again, dear gods :grimacing:

Honestly the new forum looks clustered, discombobulated and out of tune with what Grim Dawn is. Now it looks like they were going for an mmorpg style background. “Such a vast open world” they would say. It’s not open world actually. This is not an mmorpg game from what I know so far…



It happens to be the background from here:

…which also happens to be the first bit of art related to the coming town builder they’ve been working on for the past 2+ years. The forum is no longer tied to “just Grim Dawn” but it is intended to be the main hub for any future games as well.

Try not to shoehorn them into a box just because that’s where you believe they should be put. That’s shallow thinking.

It takes some getting used to, but once you do you’ll wonder why anyone ever used any other software.

You will adapt in time… or they will make you… don’t worry about anything, relax.

Just because they updated it doesn’t mean I or anyone else has to like the new interface. There are obviously some more adjustments that need doing.

Of course, I was just joking. I used Discorse once in my life earlier and even then, it took me 2 days to adapt here.

My guild has used it for about a year. Gets easier as you get used to it. Works really well on mobile.

Sooooo… someone is holding a battle axe to your throat, forcing you to you use it?

I like it, more and more, each time I pop back in. I LOVE being able to see it clearly and being able to read it, without my eyes bleeding. The old forums were “pretty”, but made my old eyes cross trying to read the text after a few minutes. Probably why I rarely posted there. Now… it’s a bright, sunshiny day here for me. :faction_rovers:
