Why did the forums turn so bland?

How come they look so weird and blank now? Everything's so condensed and looks strange. It feels like I'm in reader mode everytime I enter the forums and stuff just feels blank. What happened to the old forums?

    don't really have an answer for you.

    No one was complaining. It just happened.

    I don't like it tbh :( The old forums were so unique. This one kinda looks like I pressed inspect element

    I have no idea but if it means I get my Dredge avatar I'll take the trade off.

    Actually that's not true I do know why, basically with meet your maker it's obvious that BHVR is trying to branch out and have multiple properties which means more forums and instead of having different forums with different websites they're condensing it all in one place.

    So can't they make the forums look different? Why'd they have to make it so...bleak

    Yea, I am not a fan of this new look.

    When something gets stripped down, simplified, and turns super generic, the odds are that the redesign was made for mobile users.

    People on their phones want things to look bigger and easier to read for the much smaller screen. Which renders the site extremely bleak and empty for people on their computers.

    The red was much better

    A new game BHVR is developing. Now its called the 'BHVR forums' not the DBD forums which is fine but seriously I don't understand why they had to rip away all the identity and charm of the old forums.

    This isn't a fun forums :( its hard to read, looks too barren, and looks like I opened up inspect element

    The new forum feels like a default Geocities template

    They didn't have to change anything about the structure or look. They took time and effort out to make it look worse.

    Yeah new forums are kind of ugly not gonna lie.

    It's not even more mobile friendly as now the notifications are hidden in the profile section.

    Also the polls are unreadable, being written white on white.

  • Aurelle Aurelle

    Yeah I don't like the look of the forums now either.

  • Katzengott Katzengott

    Don't really care. But the notifications (the bell) doesn't seem to work for me. :(

    You don't have to click twice to get to general discussion anymore, so I'm happy.

    I'm sure it's a work in progress I've noticed them tweaking small things about the layout here and there since the move.

  • Rizzo Rizzo

    As others already mentioned, the forums are still a work in progress.

    Please use this post to give your feedback directly to Mandy, so she can make the right adjustments:

    Welcome to our new updated Forums!

    We know it's different and that change is always a bit strange, we want to make this forum feel as much of a home as the previous one did, it is a work in progress on some things as you can see.

    We're happy to hear your feedback on the new forum and whilst we won't be able to implement everything we will do our best to get the forums to your liking! We'll keep the feedback to this thread so the Mods will be moving posts here, this is just so that we can keep track of the comments easily.

    We do have a couple of known issues:

    • Home Button on the top left of the bar - this is a temporary measure to assist our mobile users
    • Recent Discussions pulling from all games
    • New Post Count - this is showing too dark on the comments

    Thank you all for the patience you've shown whilst we work on this.

    Mandy
