New Forum Oddity
Well, here's a new weirdness I have never seen before... I tried to click Like on a post and instead got a pop up of a brief user profile as if I had hovered over a random user's name or avatar (a random user who, as far as I could tell, had nothing to do with the post I was trying to Like). (I keep saying I'm walking away from these forums, but there are a few people and threads that pull me back.)
Necroposting not good - so why do the forum advertise 5 years old threads?
When in a thread I get a list of "related posts" to the right. Typically, those posts will be 5 or 7 years old. Recently I commenting in one of them, a thread about graveyards that I thought was highlighted this way due to the new pack. Old thread but very relevant these days thanks to the upcoming Life & Death pack. The result was that the thread got closed because it was considered necroposting. So - WHY do the forum list all those old threads if we can not post on them? My suggestion is that threads that are too old for commenting on, are automatically set to "read only" and NOT advertised as a "hey, come check out this necro-thread". Or, ther could at least be a gravestone/grim or similar symbol indicating the read-only status. I've been on all TS forums for 24(?) years (which is actually a quarter of a century!), but I still do not know what exact age makes a thread too old. A symbol or read-only status would be of great help.Show more button
When I click the Show more button when reading a thread, it reloads the page and then brings me back at the top of the page and then I need to scroll back down and find where I was and continue reading. Can you please make it so it just loads the next batch of posts without reloading the whole page? It's getting very tedious to read this way especially with all the nested replies and no pagination.
QB stuck in Ir
On Madden 24 franchise, it won’t let me get my QB Kyler Murray out of IR even though it says 0 weeks left. It just don’t give me the option to remove him from IR like it should and don’t get off or ir till next season. It’s super frustrating and I would really appreciate it if you could help. I play on Xbox. Thank you for your time.
FEEDBACK ON FORUM
On your "Update to the Forums" post it said: Site Performance: In recent weeks we’ve seen site performance is not consistently at the level it should be. "Sometimes pages wouldn’t load, errors like “community not found” and “internal server error” would appear, or folks couldn’t log in"We’ve been working behind the scenes to identify what’s been happening, andwe believe one of the main causes of this has been found and addressed this week. As ever, if you are encountering such issues, please let us know. Well I'm here to let you know that it is most definitely NOT FIXED! I have the Sims 4 Forum bookmarked: This is the Bookmark URL I've saved When I tried to access the forum today using that saved Bookmark, 2 things happened: 1 - It took me to another's profile about their Badges (Lili824 is NOT me!) I feel like that's a breach of privacy when I'm taken to someone else's profile! 2 - When I tried go Log in I got the "Couldn't Authenticate" message AGAIN. I'm, so confused by why this particular website has so many issues and not one single other website has them. I should not be logged out unless I log out myself. This is not a bank/personal information website that would time out due to privacy issues. The other forum never logged me out unless there was an update with the site or my personal PC. So, why does this one have that issue? I should not have to clear my "cache" in order to make YOUR website work. I don't have to do that for any other website. Why should I be inconvenienced by clearing the cache and browsing history from all of my other saved sites just to make YOUR site function correctly? That's NOT acceptable!!Idea For New Post Alert/View
I'm hoping and wondering if we could get something where we can see on topics when a new post is made in the yellow area I would want it to say, New Post by person name and time passed Also would be cool if the message count indicator was highlighted a color too or something
Opinion on New Forums
It may just be unpopular opinion, but I find these new forums to be painstakingly difficult to read ,(text is tiny, and colors are blinding), follow thread, my hand hurts from scrolling through hundreds of post I already read since day one to get to current. Newest somehow works but requires a lot waiting of leg work too. Is it just me. Have I been put on a delay? It wont let me post to threads all the time for just no good reason. Notifications are not as clear and prompt as last forum. While I think it may need kinks worked out, I myself may have to take to another forum. I may check in periodically to see if they have improved it, but for now, I can't. Let me know is anyone if experiencing the same or if it's just me.
Can't Post in Stories
I have not been able to post my updates in stories. I keep getting a message I've exceeded my maximum and to try again later. At least the update I was trying to post is there. (if I hit reply on the last published update, that is.) It has been suggested to me, that if I used codes-links at all, that those could be the problem. I used them three times. Twice in What Happened In Your Game Today?, thread, to let other players know I had posted updates to my story, (in Creative Corner and then a third one in WHIYGT? to let them know I had gone back to Creative Corner, since I wasn't able to find my own posts. Oi! My intention was to remove the code-links on those three posts, hoping this would clear the problem. However, I scrolled through the WHIYGT? thread and they appear to be hopelessly buried. I'm at my wit's end. I am now posting over at Sim Creatives. I will pop over here now and again, just to keep in touch, but I'm reallythat unhappy with how these threads work. I can't even bring myself to call them forums. More like random Post-it notes in which you're entirely lucky should you stumble across one of your own. Yes, I understand that this site is still undergoing construction, but a simple pardon our dust, won't cut it for me. They are unusable as things stand. My updates are stacking up and only being allowed to post one a day, will take a bit of time. And that's when I'm able to publish! So, unless this matter can be cleaned up, I have no other choice when it comes to sharing my stories.
