Updated War Thunder forum

Well, there aren’t that many people on forum to start with, compared to people in game. Old forum wasn’t perfect, but it worked ok. So Gaijin decided to skip the old forum and put up this… Why, just why on Earth would they do this? I just can’t see a reason for this.

How sad, I made a topic about the Guarani 6x6 armored car, waiting days to be approved and this happens?

National communities are all mixed together so its just one big spam folder.

I cant (or can I?) edit my posts. UI and UX is terrible.

Where can we see/is there an option to see our titles such as navy tester and stuff of that nature?

@Stona_WT Maybe if you made a devblog on how to use this new thing it will be better.

Why do you guys make good choices and then backpedal into bad choices again? Revert this change else you are gonna lose 90% of forum users and activity.

Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.
All the myriad links to the forum in my personal notes and my bookmarks are now, unfortunately, dead.
Please find a way to fix this.

Let’s just not push it too far, shall we ? We haven’t got any answers from the war thunder community managers for now so i don’t think we should give negative reviews for that yet.

I can’t wait to bookmark a post for it to just become “lost” a year or two later when the post become inconvenient

A perfectly functional and visually aesthetic forum with years of player advice, experience, and vital documentation/disucssion on vehicles wiped out for this UI mess?

That is probably my biggest issue. Years of suggestions gone, years of topics discussed some important gone

What is it with IT guys?

“If it ain’t broke fix it until it is!”

Can we get a light mode please, the perma-dark mode doesnt look that great.

P.S, Navigation kinda sucks. Its a lot harder to find a specific area of interest. Such as a certain nations aircraft, its now filters, not sub-folders

The new style attempts to have a retro feeling that detracts more from feeling like a forum and more so feeling like a bland corporate style that makes me feel like I’m reading a wikipedia page. Lack of unique avatars and unique reactions strip interaction from users. The design is focused on being as organized and neat as possible all while limiting player interaction.

For every step forward, Gaijin must take 3 steps back.
Reworking the game economy was great and really needed, the transparency was absolutely great

I’ll ask @Stona_WT and @Smin1080p where was the transparency on this? There was no adjustment time like the new bug report site (which also is one of the most painful things to navigate), you simply axed the old forum and shoved us into this mess

Lol we need trust level increase to edit topics. Whats the point in making suggestions or topics with the purpose of storing docs and information if we can’t edit just because my “trust” level is high enough…
