all the thread titles boxes are too large , i click on a sub forum and only see two or three threads without having to scroll … on the old forums you would click on a section then be able to see 15 or more threads … this new way is most annoying and off putting and makes me want to log off after two minutes ---

^^ Yes that looks so much better, and I hate that you can’t see recent topics very easily too. Also, I can’t tell if any of my friends on my list are online or playing Battlefield, I used that sidebar a lot. Also, is this completely the new battlelog, or is it just forums? Because there is no soldier customization and I can’t customize my bio on my account And will there be no sidechats on the bottom? How are people supposed to privately talk? I know platoon recruiters use this feature a ton My advice: Either go all in or all out. There shouldn’t be two separate battlelogs, it screws everything up in my opinion. ---

The big question is: Why is the old Battlelog-Forum closed ? … I mean that was working very very well.. and now it was turned instantly off ? Thats not the way to develop a new Forum…and i dont understand that step… So is someone out there who can explain me that ? BTW: The “Share-Button” is not gone too … on my Battlefeed… sooooo wtf ? ---

I am enjoying the extra life this has breathed into the forums but you’ve got to ask how long it will last and also what amount of that is coincidental and really down to BF1… Ultimately I think they should have kept the forums located at [http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/](http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/) and just added new features.

Yup, not to mention this literally gets rid of BBlog. We have to wait for them to redevelop an entire system. ( Also if I’m not mistaken, the devs for BBlog have the DICE Friends tags. ) This just creates unnecessary separation between Battlelog. I really hope they do keep it stuck to Battlelog, because having two tabs is ridiculous. ---

You simple do not just do some coding and then drop it into public abuse, without first at least having made all basics work and assure the UI is intuitive for the majority of your ‘in-house’ testers to use/navigate. Next to this, there is a ton of toolboxes/source code available on well tested forum frameworks. Drop it onto your webserver and you are off to a solid start. With functionality available way beyond what this ‘new’ forum is showing and features also to enable user specific preferences etc. If this Forum is a sign of what to expect from BF1 and the place to discuss all the cool things about that new game, then the sales will never take off. Sorry for all the people I am sure have spent well-meant time coding/improving this forum. It is simply just bad and embarrassing. Many of your inline scripts does not work when clicking the function buttons… Did you try and click (re-)EDIT on a post longer than 3 lines? No, because then you would discover only 2 lines are visible in the text editor then. Etc etc etc. Damn man. Sorry. EA is too big a company with too many good coders to let such stuff slip out. And then on top, switching off the old Forum while this new one is still in such poor shape. Who took such a decision and why??? Truly mindboggling… ---

^ I’m at a loss as to why they’ve made the decision to do this. Have they given a reason, a basic reason as to WHY the forums had to be changed, and essentially reset to forums version 1.01 with essentially no crossover functionality to profiles? WHY is Battlefield 1 being made OUTSIDE of battlelog, anyway? Is it confirmed that battlelog is being abandoned? This is all so odd and daft. ---
