New Sims Forum Feedback
Hi! This is for the team at EA who are hopefully picking up on feedback and looking to constantly improve these new forums. What I’d like to stress, and ask for from all us lovely Simmers, is t...
Forum Discussion
I've been trying to give this site a chance to grow on me. But I am really feeling less and less inclined to spend time here.
The main reasons are these:
-No way to jump straight to the last post I read previously and continue in chronological order from there, so I find it incredibly hard to follow the conversations in threads I would normally participate in such as the Art of Sims Storytelling, or any discussion thread that is very active.
-No way to limit what kind of notifications I get on my notifications page, so my notification page is always flooded with useless notifications such as people liking various posts, and I miss the important notifications where someone is actually addressing me or responding to something I said.
-Clicking on a notification does not always seem to take me directly to the relevant post. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't, and I can't figure out what set of conditions actually make it work.
-Page keeps reloading comments while I'm trying to read them. All the comments disappear for a moment and then reappear. I have no idea why. I'm not doing anything except reading them.
-Threads are off center to the left of the screen, because of the right side panel with the links and info taking up so much space. It makes my neck hurt when I am typing because I am on a laptop and I can't reposition the screen without also repositioning the keyboard.
-When I click "load more" it reloads whole page and jumps me back to the top of all the comments, so I have to scroll down looking for the last comment that I read before I told it to load more.
All of these things together are making the use of this forum unpleasant for me. I used to log onto the old forum daily and read stuff even if I didn't always post anything. It was a fun way to see what other players were doing in their games, and to interact with other players and creative people. With this forum I find myself more and more reluctant to come here at all. At this point I only check in every few days, and mostly not enthused about doing so. And I'm only here to try and keep in touch with the friends I made on the old forum, otherwise I think I'd just stop.
