What do you like most about these new forums?

It’s all still fresh to me so I’ll reserve my feedback for now but I will say I’m pleasantly surprised. Nice work team!

I will agree with the ‘how responsive they are’ comment.

But as I posted in the suggestion area, I am finding it very difficult to read the white print on black background.

My first thought is lack of organization like the previous forums as far as what version of the game is being discussed. Edit: After posting this the subforums appeared under the Forza Horizon link.Seems I jumped tge gun on this one lol.
It doesnt seem to be very user friendly when trying to find specific topics like the old version. But then again,theres not really much difference between game versions either.
Still looking but so far,there is no apparent way to quote someone, might br tgere,just gotta do your chores to find unlock it :wink:

The Badges ! So Shiny !

…joking, we don’t need no stinking badges :smile:

Yeah, it’s early days so hard to say. Someone said responsive. Sure. I just hit a not like though in replying here, seems to time-out my login for no reason. Or something glitched at this end. Anyway, it’ll take some getting used to the new “features” but as long as the report post function is fixed it’ll be worth it.

Hey hey. I found it. When replying, click first icon in the task/menu bar at the top of the quote area (the one that looks like someone in a cartoon strip talking), to the left of the B.

The " is a block quote, but I don’t yet know what that is.

When you hit “reply” in the top of the response window is a little word balloon on the far left, that’s your “quote reply” button. But… it seems to be “full” quote only. Trying to edit/trim the quoted reply in the quote brackets messes it up.

Beat me to it :smile: Yeah, no idea on the block quote. Or how to “trim” quoted. Trying it messes up the quotes so far as I can tell.

I noticed the badges in the little number flags on my user tag at the top right. I got one for editing my first post, another for liking a post, one for reading the (new) forum guidelines. Maybe a couple more. I think I saw them called badges ? Somewhere.

As for my “not like” there’s no function per se, I just didn’t like the fact I got timed out on login so quick.

Speed. Finally no waiting for pages to load.

Ahhh.

Another new to me thing, is the ability to see who liked a post. This may have been available on the old software, but I never figured it out.

If you click on the number in front of the heart, it will tell you who liked the post.

Also, there now appears to be a very short window in which to remove your like for someone’s post

Well, I can certainly do without the “Welcome back” type messages.

As a few others stated, its faster… but other than that… don’t really like how unorganized and cluttered it feels.

Not really sure who though it was necessary, beyond a speed boost.

Took me 2-3 minutes to find 1 specific thread and it wasn’t where you’d naturally assume to look - so that alone is kinda annoying.

I don’t really like changes. At least they could let me change my Avatar now.

I can’t fault anything so far… I’m quite impressed

My only wish is for them to apply the same effort as they have made here but to the game itself in terms of QoL improvements.
