Now that the light theme is available, I can actually read the forum.
I must say, the new forum actually does one thing better than the old one or any other place: it shows all patch notes, devblogs and news in a single view with clear indication what’s new and what I have seen previously!
As for the actual forums, i.e. for discussion, I’m not too keen on.
these are some really important questions to me, wich were no problem before.
many positive sides about this forum, and it is improving i see but there is still a lot of issues like ive mentioned here before. but i am desperate for these questions :-/
I see that this stupid system with post flagging still continues, proper discussions get taken down and spam posts for all kinds of services like this are still up even after being reported for days.
Bring back at least the ignore feature of the old forums and remove this dumb post flagging. It is getting beyond stupid that now you have to click 50 show post buttons in order to follow a proper thread just because a butthurt kid thought it would be funny to flag an entire discussion.
Edit: just as I thought. Stupid system.
so how do i adjust picture size? this is one of many problems.
at least i havent found out how to do it, neither on any guides. it works here, but not in other posts
I’ve been away for 2 years, this new forum should of been a beta before becoming a done deal why was this never taken up with the community first?
God I hate this new forum, I can’t get along with it. Please just go back to the old forum
I continue to loathe this new forum, and even more the decision to throw away the effort of a large community by destroying the old forum soon.
I am done putting any effort in this forum and will no longer put effort in making the game better or contributing much here. If the old forum and all that work is getting nuked, then there is no point in doing it again here, as it is disrespecting all the effort players have put in, because again it could get deleted.
Best regards,
Phil

Bring back forum profile pictures and signatures but most importantly the old forum!
My complete tech trees (incl. all special vehicles) spreadsheet is updated to match 2.23 (only accurate atm for list & status of vehicles): War Thunder Tech Trees 2.31 (V15.00 temp - does not have all the last econ changes) - Google Spreadsheets Contains probably all vehicles WT has published.
There has never been “censorship” on the forums.
Follow the rules of the forums and your posts will stay.
And this forum is FAR easier to navigate than the old one.
I disagree.
This forum is utter trash, as if killing it was the purpose of the update. By the looks, it worked
Vastly superior search system.
More robust attachments.
Easier to reply to multiple people.
More robust architecture.
Just buffs all around. Far easier to learn as well.
Not even a second away and the post gets flagged for no reason, did you do it? If so, no wonder you like this new forum.
About your point: People like the old internet forums and don’t want them changed. If you knew anything about forum culture you’d agree. And this flagging system is the worst trash ever, complimenting the rest of the new forum
Ah yes, insults isn’t a reason… totally. /s
I fully agree - imho gaijin should disable this function asap.
I mean in the old forum you had a report function with the same result, but now you have to edit your post to avoid an auto-deletion after 30 days. Countless of my posts were flagged, but i would say less than 5 were actually deleted by forum mods. In all other cases the flags were removed. It is obvious that some guys miss a “confused” or “sad” emote - so they use flagging in order to express their disagreement.
Censorship - yes and no. Basically the fine print of the community rules exclude any complaints about serious game flaws like bugs,3rd party software, etc. So you can from a holistic pov either praise gaijin or talk about the weather - and everything else can be deleted without reason or notice.
I appreciate some kind of “Glasnost” regarding the bot issue in the last days - some time ago everything was closed/locked or deleted. I hope they will continue this way of transparency in all other “controversial/difficult” areas…
At this point, after lots of reworks and polishing, I can say this Forum has become a far, far better site than it initially was.
In many ways, even an upgrade compared to the old Forum!
My only gripe is the lack of punishment for inappropiate flagging usage and abuse. Other than that, good job!
The flagging system is just overall broken.
I still hope that we will get our emotes back someday
Did you ever figure this out?
I have the same problem in Chrome. It won’t scroll.
It does work in Incognito, so I suspect it’s an extension causing a problem but I can’t imagine which one.
Still happens to me, all i do now is Ctrl F5 to reload and it works.
Closing chrome and re opening works too.
Never bothered to look further as the 2 work arounds are simple enough.
@Stona_WT question, what will happen to all the suggestions people have been making ever since it was first set up? cause the old forums are an archive of so much. From historical images, no one has ever seen suggestions that are not available on the New Forums.
It seems very concerning if you’re implying that it will be taken down in 2025, unless vehicle suggestions, historical stuff of the sort, will be saved and possibly remain archived here. But the rest that was mostly discussions will not. Cause i hope a compromise can be found.
If Smin reads this, my apologies pinged the wrong person.
