The New Forum
Maybe i’m too old but I find this new forum format really awful. I can’t skip to the last page easily, the topics are harder to find with nothing pinned. Am I just not getting it?

Very much like the new look has modern fresh look and I like that 👍🏻
Yes, I agree. Nobody can seriously mean that you can't jump to the last page. To jump to the last page I have to click with the mouse for an hour. Just as they do their games, so does the forum. Simply ridiculous and absolutely brainless.
Yes, I agree the forum is currently much harder to use than the previous one though supposedly updates and improvements are on the way. Pagination has been requested a lot so hopefully it's one of the first things to get worked on.
I think it looks cool and modern and all that. But I genuinely cannot figure out how to operate it. Now I know there are more of us in this situation. Is there any way I can go to the last reply without endlessly scrolling. I want to ask something on the UDP specification thread (which is nowhere to be found now, so WTH!) and that is a large thread with several pages(? is that even a thing anymore?)
Honestly, this is forum rework is so on brand with EA, we've seen how all their licensed games end up. The same thing with a fresh coat of paint and reduced functionality lol
ragekumar666Yes, it seems like all of the Pinned threads became unpinned during migration, the magnifying glass in the top right acts as a search function though, just search UDP spec and it should be one of the top results.
Right now threads are not divided into pages so unfortunately yes, the only way to get to the most recent posts is to scroll though my understanding is that is something they are working on fixing.
Agreed, terrible layout. They need to address the fact that you can't scroll to the last comment. Clicking see more endless times is utterly tedious especially on long threads. The previous iteration was so much better. The F124 of forums!
I find it a downgrade from the UX stand point. But it is not that I will bother that much seeing where F1 games are going. So yes, I agree that it is a downgrade…but not that important to me for obvious reasons
Hey there,
First of all, thank you for your comments and feedback. I'll pass those along.
You can sort the way you read your messages in your settings. The options are:
Sort by Most Liked
Sort by Oldest to Newest
Sort by Newest to Oldest
I understand that this is not ideal when trying to read the middle messages of a Discussion as you still have to click in "Shor more", but this has already been passed to the team as feedback.
Please consider that these forums are completely new, and we are all learning. They will keep evolving, and there will be changes coming in the future.
Also, feel free to go to this board of our forum dedicated to Questions & Feedback.

I'm not even able to adjust the default sort order in settings as you suggest.
Whenever I try to set it to Newest to Oldest and then hit Save, it just says:
These new forums look visually nice, but the navigation is an absolute disaster.
Have you considered privacy / paranoia settings?
