Great news but...

Would someone please post there that they must give us a password retrieval tool? Been such a long time... my nick is taken, my email is already in use... guess it's me alright but I got the account temp locked with wrong passwords and there's no tool to help! grrr I'll try again after unlock but I can't even post this there. =))

There is. I saw a "forgot your password?" thing in there that allowed you to put in your username or email to retrieve the password. Or do you mean something else?

Yeah, just saw it now. Thanks! =)

Can we merge our original profile with the dummy one used to register TW2?

Random impressions after awhile in the new forum:

1.) I'm totally feeling like a stranger in a foreign land. Farrrrrr awayyyyy from homeeeeee.

2.) Every now and then there's an SQL error that takes down the whole place. Too much traffic or something.

3.) I like the dark colors, but the yellow is a bit much. Given how dark the rest of the forum is, it's a bit distracting. Also, making the text a bit more grey instead of pure white might help improve the readability of posts.

4.) No rep? However am I to get away with saying completely irrelevant, borderline insane things? I kid, I kid, it's actually nice to be free from it, though the +/- thing on each post seems unnecessary. Are enough people going to rate individual posts for it to matter, or are there just going to be a bunch of posts that are +1/-1 for no real reason? Maybe it'll be more effective once more people show up.

All in all, though, it's pretty nice.

There will be more people discussing various things, once we spread the word. Also, we are still tweaking certain things so please bear with us.

Is there an option to go to last reply when viewing the new forum?

Didn't notice that and it's kinda annoying to click the topic subject and then click "go to last" while inside the topic.

I would also vote for some "go back" buttons at the bottom of the screen. Now, when I browse through whole topic and want to return to the general forum, I have to scroll back up and then click.

Anyway - thanks guys, I'm glad you finally get that forum checked on your list! :)

Hooray!

Loving it thus far. But life was easier here - there I will have to learn maintaining in both languages. :P Marcin360, I have a quick question - Did you guys delete any posts? Not all are visible to me, especially I feel like missing some from previous English-speaking section. :(

EDIT: All right, I had to search it manually and didn't notice absence of any post. It's great to have our forum back, but I really do hope that in the future you will fix that posts-displaying thing, for now - let's party hard. :P

Some more random observations from me:

- A time stamp for edits would be nice to have.

- The profile button is not obvious enough. At first I thought it might be part of the logout-button. It's a little bit of confusion that might easily be removed by adding a little 'profile'-text next to/underneath the Avatar in the top-right corner of the screen.

- No direct way from the profile management to the forums, you have to go by ->Community->Forum, not quite comfortable

- Links should be more obvious/distinct from text.

- You're wasting a bit much space by putting the avatar to the left of the user name instead of underneath it. I'd like a wider text area better. (it's working fine here on gog.com due to smaller avatar and text sizes - but in your forums it's eating up too much space)

- As 227 said, the reputation could be added to the user data next to the posts. As of now it can only be seen in the profiles.

- I'd like to see a 'topics you have participated in' category on the main page - like the one here. It's really useful.

Other than that, it left a very positive first impression on me. The choice of colors is excellent, the overall layout is nice to look at and I think will do fine from a usability-PoV after a while of getting to know it.

Same :C I guess we'll have to make it feel like home.

I put mine as Dona_ and when I tried to change it, I couldn't find where. Yet the forum has "nickname history" option. Oh well.

I have a new avatar, too... couldn't help myself when I realised they could be up to 100kb *and* animated.

That was already the case in the past ...

What was the case in the past? I haven't been a member of the old forum.
