A few words about the website.


Recommended Posts

I rather like it. It's always worked for me, the notifications are intuitive, forums is divided in sections that make sense, everything is easy to find (Well, I had trouble locating one post about the carnival update with the list of new content, once.)

Just wanted to say that, the webdev can pat himself on the back.

The galling lack of many key features of forums along with the slew of bugs and ***ty redirects is disgraceful.

Bugs

  • Upon attempting to post in a thread or create a new thread, you will occasionally be logged out and sent to the blog page
  • Quoted posts will remain in the posting box when returning to the thread later on, forcing you to ctrl + a + del if you want to post again.
  • The website redirects image links to itself 8 times, making the url excessively long if you want to copy + paste into a chat room.
  • When accessing PM's, the site will change the forum section formatting you are currently at. If you are on DD1 forums, it takes you to DD2 formatting, if you are in DD2, it goes to DD1 formatting.
  • Occasionally upon attempting to log in, you will be redirected to the blog page without actually logging in.
  • You cannot add links or embedded pictures or movies to posts in a thread unless you are editing the OP
  • You cannot add multiple bullet point lists to a single post which is aggravating me as I write this post.
Missing features
-Signatures
-Proper forum permissions for non-Trendy employees/mods
-Spoilers
-Proper "dev tracker"  - you cannot skip to the first dev post in a thread
-Steam screenshot integration

This isn't even a complete list of all the issues this forum has, just a list I could think of from 2 minutes of typing.

Well,

  • I can make two bullet point lists
  • And post pictures

But that's not really the point because,

  • To add to your bugs, I also get logged out seemingly randomly
  • Trying to open a second page of a thread in a new tab sends me to the blog
  • Randomly I get sent to the blog
  • Refreshing a page seems to send me to the blog

I should clarify what I meant by the pictures part - you cannot embed pictures/movies/any formatting at all when editing a post unless it's the OP of a thread. I spent like 15 minutes trying to get the second bullet list to start but it wouldn't take so I added it on there because I got frustrated.

Bad forum software is bad.
