New Forum layout feedback

Voxicity · May 2016

Looks very clean to me, liking it

Voxicity · May 2016

bloody double posting

majulook · May 2016

I had to sign back in no big deal, But....

The only way I could find to sign in was to open a thread and scroll to the bottom of the thread and select "sign in"

IMHO a sign in should be more readily available like on the top of the home screen.

Preyfar · May 2016

Derp. Didn't see this has been responded to earlier.

My biggest issue is that if I go to Dev Tracker and click on the top of the post gets buried under the sticky navbar. There's not an offset when a page loads so I have to constantly scroll up to see the rest of the post which is somewhat annoying. Otherwise it looks really good.

Utterly unreadable for me. Text is white on light grey until I hover over the individual threads. I can't believe ZOS would roll out something this broken. Check it out:

[EDIT] After a few refreshes the text now appears to be normal, but apparently I wasn't the only one getting this.

MissBizz · May 2016

Something went weird. All the title text (name of subforums and categories) went to white which is nearly impossible to read.

And yeah... not so work friendly. *quickly alt tabs*

zerosingularity · May 2016

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 thought the black bar was in memorial of someone at ZOS

Strange, the text is still black for me, and I am on a work computer at the moment (Google Chrome on Windows 7 or Vista).

Korah_Eaglecry · May 2016

All topics are now blinding white on the main screen. Pretty hard to look at. Same with Usernames.

Sign In is at the very top of the web page on the upper left-hand corner.

This just happened to me after posting in a thread too... closing that window and re opening the forums changed it(refreshing didn't) back to readable.

MissBizz · May 2016

Alright, text is back to normal now. (No longer white)

AbraXuSeXile · May 2016

It's horrible

OH! You are correct. It depends on how big the custom size is. Almost maximized still shows the new way, but reducing the window width to about 60% it reverts the forums. Like how a site will change when it's "mobile friendly" - converts to a different style depending on screen/window size

I have made my browser full screen now see the "sign in" the support link is hidden behind the BUY NOW

I cannot make the browser screen any larger ....

Why the top banner does not size scale with view of the page is horrible. what is up with the 1996 web site technology

Lightninvash · May 2016

anyone using a not maximized screen? It is pushing the categories dev tracker etc lower into the screen out of the black bar at the top. also showing crowns in the place of where those were.

dsalter · May 2016

Ahh transparency, tell the team it's looking much better now please @ZOS_GinaBruno , doesn't look so dark

who knew a few black lines could have such an impact?

Sunver · May 2016

There is only one panel for navigation and pages - on the top. We are missing the other one - at the bottom. Or even better - merge it with the top "Elder Scrolls Online TU" panel, so it scrolls with it.

Also - AJAX(or whatever you use for real time, refresh-independent content update) is broken(when I post at the first page it shows my post just under the last post at the first page(it should either show nothing or take me to the last page's bottom).

Rakkul · May 2016

Prefer the previous colour scheme to be honest. Lighter background with darker test instead of this reversed idea.
For me it looks too stark.

Also the smaller text at the bottom of the screen (Terms of Service / Legal Information etc) is more difficult to make out.

Please bear in mind that some of us can have problems with white on black.

Thank you.

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

Its really annoying..

bryanhaas · May 2016

The menu button is in the middle of the page for me, other glitches similar to that as well.

lol they were never "rolling something out this broken" they are actively editing the forum layout as we type, hence this thread.

Tholian1 · May 2016

I couldn't see the sign in link on the forum page in mobile Safari on my iPad. It is there, just not visible.

HansK · May 2016

On my PC the SUPPORT button hides behind the BUY NOW button. Resizing (zoom) has no effect. (Win10 & latest Firefox)

Glaiceana · May 2016

@ZOS_GinaBruno The layout is pretty good! A few things though: On your profile page, there's a very large gap between your picture and the activity column. Would look better if the activity box was wider.
Also, when a notifcation appears, and I click to go to it, it should take me to the latest comment in the subscribed thread. However the top bar (Community, Store etc) covers half of the comment when the page loads in and I have to scroll up to see their name etc. Comment should load at the top of the visible page. Screenshot to show you how it loads:

As you can see, the full comment HAS technically loaded in, but the new bar is covering it.

Also, perhaps the black user bar and top/bottom borders for the actual forum would look better if slightly transparent, like how the main bar and the lowest bar with all the relevant links is

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.

Ooo look at the shinies!

Lol, I thought the same thing! Ooo shinies!

I like the change, the forums feel like part of the rest of the website now. They colors and layout used to feel so detached from the rest of the site.
