Dunno if mentioned or intended, but I see the new header on the forums when the screen is maximized. Yet if the window is custom sized, it looks like the old way. (I see the difference via where the dev tracker button among others is.) This is on the latest version of chrome.

I get the same thing with FF 46.0.1 and IE 10.0.9200.17607 - if not using full screen browsing.

Why do I need to scroll all the way up to change the page of the discussion?

Its really annoying..

I am finding the page selections and "Forums > General Discussion" at both the top and bottom of the web page. Strange that everyone is having different issues, but I'm not. I wonder if web browser has anything to do with it? Or having Mac vs Windows 7 vs Windows 10 kind of thing.

It's the age-old bane of web developers - cache. I've been trying to respond to some of the feedback and bugs, and in doing so, some folks may have cached different versions of the styles.

For anyone still having issues, please clear your browser cache and try again.

Your website is broken on my iPad. I cleared cache and also went to the main eso site to get to the forums, rather than use my bookmark, and there is no link to the forums at all.

Yeah... the wide opaque black bars above and below the thread need to go. A skinny black bar would be alright, but they are wide and for no reason.. they don't hold anything. They actually become the focal point - where my eyes immediately go.

The black bar where your notification stuff is also looks kind of bad, but it's holding something at least. Something a bit light or some transparency there would be fantastic.

For a min there I couldn't find the "recent" button ..... found it ! Never take away that button

I am currently on my iPhone using the desktop version of that makes any sense? I am seeing the Orsinium layout background at the top. Any one else getting that?

I like the change!

Yes. Same here, but on the iPad it is Thieve's Guild. On both the iPhone and iPad, the sign in links are invisible.

Looks great to me. I see no issues with it myself. Not sure why its hurting some peoples eyes though.

The background image isn't completely stationary when scrolling and constantly flickers. Is it supposed to do that @ZOS_GinaBruno ?

What browser are you currently using?

Edit: And no, it shouldn't be doing that.

Does the same thing on MS Edge.

Chrome works just fine.

Mostly they layout and positioning seems fine to me. Not being able to see what page of a thread you are onnor change it without scrolling to the top or bottom is a negative from a usability standpoint.

I find the background and the varying shades of transparency distracting and the contrast in the text area background versus text seems lower and it's harder to read.

I did the exact same thing! I refreshed the page and all of a sudden it's a completely different look. I actually like the new look!

Meh, looks like it should be the background for an ESO gold selling site.

Hey guys! We did just push a change so the navigation bar matches what's on elderscrollsonline.com. All functionality should still be there; it's just a visual change. Let us know if you find any bugs, though!

@ZOS_GinaBruno
The only "bug" I've encountered is when clicking general discussion at the top (Forums > General discussion), it takes me back to the forums main page instead of general discussion.

More of a minor inconvenience then anything but I figured I would let you know.

I don't mind the new look or change, but I am having an odd issue.

I suddenly started getting notifications for threads I wasn't even paying attention to, and came to find that they are inexplicably bookmarked. I cannot find a method for getting rid of these bookmarked threads, and there's no results on a Google search either.

There really ought to be a way to delete bookmarks on the forum UI, as even if I wanted these particular threads, the rapid rate of thread evolution and passing of time means that eventually people will want to clean out what they are keeping marked.

Have browsed for a while now and it seems to work ok for me. The thick black bars are a bit odd, like something is meant to be there, but I like the header. Apart from that, I like it.

Sallington

I think it's awful. What was the point of the change?

MasterSpatula

I would like to be able to dismiss the bar at the top that plainly reads "The Elder Scrolls Online" so that, when someone wanders into my office at work, they can't immediately see that I was goofing off and on what site I was doing so if they happen to look at my computer.

But maybe that's just me.

I know that you can manage if you get notifications or even emails to threads that you simply commented in by going to your account settings.

I'm reading all of this and wonder if it's specific browsers only.
Safari (iPhone) and Firefox all look like it did last week other than the background image which looks awesome

Argruna

I don't like it but I think it's the junior high schooler in me yelling 'center!' with the header on the top containing our user info.

Should be on the bottom too if you are gonna keep that black bar. But again, the junior high schooler in me.

How w as this comment edited by Gina? I just noticed that.

I got the change too.Nothing to bother me though.I just noticed that the profile stuff moved to the left of the page.

If you were on the "Recent" page in the past, you could just swap the language with one click and get to "Neustes" (the German equivalent of recent). This doesn't work anymore. When you change the language now, you'll always get to the "catecories".
Would be nice if that could be fixed.

Looks sweet, good job

Molag_Crow

My feedback: I like it.

At first, I was a little confused, thinking my browser was zoomed in or something, but now I'm comfortable with it.
