Welcome folks! If you run into any issues with the forum, definitely make it known so folks here can help address them or look into them!

Well, the forum is incredibly slow and clunky to use. The old forum wasn't as pretty, but at least it was fast.Also, UI-wise, the background image from the main forum page doesn't persist through to subforums. Like you see here, it's this white sharded background image, not the SWGOH hologalaxy.Also, moar profile pictures from SWGOH pls. I'm sure you'd want to be a Tusken, and I want to be Commander Cody.

Needing to log in all the time is annoying, and the fact that it takes me to a Sims forum is even worse

I don't see a way to sort/find "official" posts from the dev team. I knew a kit reveal came, but it was just buried down with a bunch of other "random" posts. So, either a good way to only get stuff from Capital Games Team or a separate area for official posts like that would be nice.

There's very little sense of organization here - I'm guessing that will be improved over time - but this feels very much like "minimum viable product" and it's not performing as efficiently or intuitively as the original forums (which weren't perfect but were highly functional, in spite of the spam filter eating edited posts). Perhaps some of that is learning curve, but I don't think that's the whole of it. It does look clean when everything is loaded but the constant reloading to be able to see all replies in a thread is not the best experience. I feel like pagination works a bit better for thread navigation than the constant need to click "show more" - and the "show more" prompts would be a little less irritating if the next set of replies were pre-cached instead of needing a full page reload every time. Perhaps loading more replies per "show more" click would help - but really I think pre-caching is the right strategy.I think this bar should stay at the top with the EA banner to make navigation between different areas of the forums easier. It's not great to have to scroll back up through a zillion replies to get back to this: Or perhaps that could be handled with a child menu here:Also, regarding these objects on the right side of the screen:For those items to be of more value and usefulness, perhaps a select couple of them could stay on-screen when the user scrolls down. As it is now, on the desktop site those things scroll away as you read replies and nearly half of the page is dead space - meanwhile I'm reading responses with progressively smaller and smaller screen width until it's a small minority of screen real estate that's used to deliver information with vast swaths of dead space on either side.The reddit style of generating child replies to comments is not my favorite way of reading things - it encourages rabbit holes of off-topic discussion which ultimately take you out of the context of the original post and make it difficult to stay focused on the subject matter at hand. This is a drastic deviation from the original forums and while it's certainly not a deal breaker - and while I'm already somewhat accustomed to that format on reddit - it's just not my favorite way to consume textual conversation. As an aside - I hope the powers that be won't try to make these forums any more like reddit than they have to be - that format encourages toxicity and mob mentality and it isn't a healthy format for productive discussion. If that's what you all wanted, reddit already did all the work for you - and the players that want that have already established a hive there.As has been mentioned already, dark mode would be great - but I understand you all are working on that so thank you.Overall I appreciate the clean aesthetic and the work and effort that has gone into the new forums. I look forward to continued improvements on the site. Thanks for opening this feedback thread - I know I can speak for at least some in the community when I say that we appreciate the opportunity to be heard. Keep up the good work.

Any way we can make the Announcements and News, and Game updates topics separate like the old style where only Official CG & EA employees can post and keep pinned. I can't find any of Tusken Meatheads posts.

Why has the old forum been switched off for this garbage?! I hardly use the forums, but at least could navigate the old one. This has no structure, and doesn't even seem to be getting used by staff - where are the kit reveals even?? Night trooper doesn't feature and has released since Elsbeth - whoopsy? And where is the newest character I saw pop up in the app - not on either old or new??
Please burn this down and go back to the old forum until you can build something with at least the functionality we already had, ffs...

As touched on by others here. Having pinned threads at the top from important ppl would be nice. I didn't see Meathead's threads until I found his name and went through his profile.
It also seems clunkier to use than the old forums. I find myself not checking it nearly as often.

When using my phone the other day I was unable to search for conversations by tag. Works on my computer just fine.

It would be helpful to find a way to pin some posts so they're easier to find. Even if they unpin after a week or two. This would make it easier than scrolling when looking for kit reveals, etc.

There may be some people who prefer the first paragraph of an OP to be visible.
I am not one of them. I realize that this work does not directly generate revenue for EA/CG so optional features might be fairly low on a priority list and take time to implement. That said, I would like to be able to access a list of posts that I can run down at a glance. The paragraphs are unnecessary for me in the vast majority of cases and serve rather to get in the way of my quick assessment of whether there's anything of interest to me on a given day.
This could mean going back to titles only, as on the CG forums. Or it could mean giving users the option of switching back and forth in their personal settings to titles-only vs. title+1stPara.
Different people are different, so I assume that there are a good number who prefer the new system. I don't want them to lose a feature they like, but this is going to be something that discourages my participation in the forums (and I like to think that my past participation has been valuable to more than just me).

Maybe its just me - but the usablity of these forums is at about 10% or less of the previous ones:
On any thread with more than 2 or 3 replies (i.e. this one) finding and reading what has already been said is virtually impossible
I used to regularly login to check for any new news or updates. That is now FAR MORE complicated
The white screens
This whole thing now looks and feels like the "corporate hub" I have in my office
That was setup by HR
It is only used by HR and the management team
Taking it in turns to slap each other on the back
None of the people doing any works likes it or uses it
This has the same vibe of "look at this shiny forum"
While making it difficult to use
Don't be surprised when footfall drops drastically

Just wanted to make sure you guys are aware. When trying to sort comments from most liked to newest, it will stay on most liked. So the forum makes you have to click 'newest' twice. This happens on any post on any section. Mobile & Desktop.
