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.

  If you look up, they did write an article about this, and ScoundrelRui managed to change successfully though it required manually signing out and back in before the changes took effect. If you've already been through the change process, I'd recommend signing out. If you haven't, look through this thread for the EA comment linking to a how-to on name changes.

Am I quoting wrong or is that functionality not working 100% yet?

Any way to sort replies by newest?

  There's a little dropdown by the bottom right of the main post. The idea is this is more like Reddit than a classic forum, it seems. No way to downvote though...

I made it, would it be alright to put in a request for personal profile pictures?

  We are working on some solutions for that. EA Forums literally have millions of users and are read by players of all ages. People can do a lot of baaaaaad things with images, so we are working on a way to have image moderation/approval for this massive user base and the ability for you to have a custom avatar. This can take a bit, but it's most certainly a priority for us.

  My colleague David wrote an article around that, you can find it here.
  
  In general logging out and logging back in again should force the forum to update.

I'm having issues with the new forum on my phone. I click the link in the old forum's post and it just went blank. I can't see anything. There is a notice saying "a client-side exception has occured. " Why is this happening?

    I'm using Safari on IPhone 11 (IOS 13.6). Does it have something to do with the IOS version? Haven't upragded the phone since I bought it.
