2 things :1 this thread isn't visible in hot topics2 to enter this thread i had to accept a security warning, some nonsense about a certificate

1. Odd, it appears for me and it is marked 'Important' so it should appear everywhere, are you talking about Hot Topics viewed via front page? Do you have any things ticked off in filters?

Site is/was pretty broken for me on Firefox (PC) as well as getting Security risk notifications. I couldn't even post this without quoting a random guy on page 2. I can't scroll down. The load is extremely slow.

After accepting the terms of use and cookies, it seems to be better except the extreme load times.

Yeah...That security risk shouldn't have happened, think it is fixed

Load sucks, we're aware, trying to find the cause. With the being unable to scroll, do you have any Adblock on?

Scrolling is fine after accepting terms of use and cookies.

I'm getting phantom notifications of new posts on threads I'm following that don't seem to exist when I click to check them.

Same and the pages at the bottom are 1, 0, 1, 2, 3 etc.

Do the site currently have desktop and mobile version or you tried to make it totally phone friendly?

The site is unusable since the update since the scroll bar is gone both in Edge and in Firefox.

Maybe already posted, I wouldn't know. I have to zoom the page out to 50% to reach the submit button here.



Hey! Locked your thread, trying to keep the bug reporting in here, sorry! We'll take a look at it.

No problem, delete it. I could only touch the new topic button since it's at the top of the screen :)

It seems 50/50 atm whether I get the broken Borat add or the CoD one. I got you some clicks anyway trying to scroll haha.

Is it just me or is the site much slower now? It takes ages to load pages.

It's not just you. When I loaded in the Reply page to type this, it took nearly 30 seconds, where it used to take maybe 4-5 seconds.

I like the new look a lot. I will note though that the homepage has a hell of a lot of images now (meaning graphics or any sort, rather than text). It can be a little overwhelming when looking at the homepage on mobile.

Suddenly, a good number of my page loads are happening super fast. Not all, but a lot of them over the last 2-3 minutes. I can't figure out any rhyme or reason to it though. Doesn't seem to be pages that I've viewed yet, or anything like that.

Another think I noticed (chrome user). Not sure if it impacts all of the forum or certain areas.I always use the quick reply box at the bottom. I used to be able to type paragraphs. Now it converts those paragraphs into one block of text.This post I typed as three for testing purposes in case it make one block of text here,

Congrats on the upgrades and updates, site slowly getting there, now might be even faster.

Just some constructive suggestions from my side:

- I would put the Dark theme as default for everyone, even offline visitors as it is the preferred style as seen on your OP images.

- Wouldn't it be better to order the Platform list alphabetically?

- In my profile, I would put Favourite games on top followed by the wall and move recent activity plus recent forum posts to the side.

- Just a last comment, I thought the theme selector on your account dropout was an error, it's functional but not clear what it is at first glance, maybe mention theme?

EDIT: And just seen that the quick reply text box is still white in the Dark theme.

And just experienced that you can paste directly an url image and the editor embeds it for you, cool
