I am loving the UX changes to the forum

[davids355]

I just wanted to give some feedback and say that I am loving the subtle UX changes around the forum - I assume these have come as a result of the downtime the other day, or they've been around for longer and I have somehow only just noticed (!).

A couple of things in particular that I noticed were the new layout when you type a post - it looks like there are new tabs for discussion and poll as well as an updated WYSIWYG interface. This is extremely pleasing to the eye in my opinion and although subtle, it makes a real difference to the look and feels.

The second thing I noticed is the layout when you use the multi-quote feature in a reply - again, a small change but it makes it much easier to separate the quotes and replies, visually speaking and this is also very pleasing to the eye.

Great work and although I am sure there were bigger changes made in the background, in my opinion, it is these little design tweaks that really make a big difference from a usability point of view.

Yeap, I like it too. It feels more professional and solid.

Definitely feels a lot more modern and premium compared to the old-school editors.
BHW 2.0 is getting real!

Now we just need Sarkar and a few others banned so we have a professional forum.

I agree, such a small change but it looks so clean somehow.
Not sure why it is damn hard to explain simple things when you didn't come into the world in one of the English-speaking countries

This just puts a downer on anyone wanting to start their own forum. Whats the point, when you can't be as good as blackhatworld! lol

If anyone is looking for the "Preview" button from under the post box, it was moved to the toolbar to the far right. It acts differently too: you can toggle/deselect it, so you either see the non-editable preview or the editable post.

What about the dots on unviewed notification tabs

Who noticed a change in the reaction smiley? The laughing one looks different (or I am going mad).

The quote design looks awesome

Sarkar being banned

Not happening

The previous one was LOL. The latest one is ROFL.

Something that the sellers might like is the new emojis (text and titles)
if anyone looking for more info about the changes, you can check it here

a small thing that i wanted to comment out about is the content shifting because of the sidebar,
this will cause an CLS issue and not really cool, maybe should be fixed

Really nice work on the new interface
Is it possible to fix the emojis by installing all of them rather having us search for a specific one? One may not know the name of a certain emoji, is it possible to make it how’s it done on iPhone keyboard

Also, can someone show me how post a new post? Ever since Mr.Bass gave me a warning ages ago, I can’t possibly post a new post!
