You have a button on the bottom right that takes you to the top… I would just get used to that until they figure out if you can even have it on the bottom of here

There needs to be more interactions here

Apparently, my account is on probation, i have yet to receive a reason why, or how long it will last..

Also why are you now deleting threads instead of closing them? half of mine got deleted instead of closed, because other people derailed it, there seems to be no warnings, no nothing

sort this out please

Something that has definitely been suggested a fair bit, we will pass it along.

This was (or still is) common on the SWBF forums. Instead of locking a thread and providing a reason they would simply remove it from existence. I hope that isn’t common practice here.

Edit: Is the old layout showing up for anyone else? Is this an intentional change or a bug?

We don’t delete threads.

Literally, there are only 4 people that have the ability to do that, and they don’t. Threads can be SUNK or MOVED. Sinking a thread means it goes to the bottom. When a thread is Moved, it’s moved to an Admin-Moderator only section, out of public view.  
RE: Probation. Probation is a restricted access rank. It’s not permanent, but the next step after it is a suspension/ban. As we do NOT discuss moderation on this forum (just like on Battlelog), you can PM - not post on the wall - of a moderator and they can look into why it happened. (Will ensure that a Warning is sent when someone is put on Probation from now on.) Thanks for the heads-up.

How about you just try to follow the rules (that govern all Forums) and just not get banned? LOL That being said, if you get banned from here - there’s a pretty strong chance you’ll also be banned from posting on Battlelog - including your feed, presentation, etc.

Will we be able to have a country flag beside our avatar, like on Battlelog?

I was also hoping that these new forums would not permit alternate accounts (although I see that isn’t the case currently since some alternate accounts on Battlelog have already made their way to these new forums).  
Since the new forums will eventually have a mechanism in place that will restrict those who don’t own BF1 from posting in said forums, I thought it would be a simple matter to tie each forum account with a BF1 game key (thereby eliminating alternate forum accounts).

In the right menu it says I have 2 “my discussions”, when I click it tells me I have none.

Seriously though, when will you guys make it more appealing to the eyes. This is one thing that is keeping me off here and on the Battlelog forums.

If you could make it look more like the Battlelog forums, while still keeping the advanced interface and features, this forum would be pretty sweet.

Is there currently a problem with the avatar’s “change picture” link? When I click the link, a small white window pops up but nothing happens (a small dialog window used to show up, etc.). Thanks.

the change picture link is still part of the original forum code, that has been superseded by gravatar. all avatars on here are now your gravatars.

My first impressions are that the new forums are a bit cumbersome to navigate through, just need to get used to the these I guess.  
Also, I know this is a work in progress but these are really ugly looking.

Go to your Preferences \> Change My Picture \> Choose File. Once you’ve selected your picture spam-click the Upload button. It will be uploaded even if you get the red error, just refresh to confirm.

@Vespervin  
Thank you. That worked perfectly.  
I had a feeling that gravatars were still not needed, contrary to what Starscream had written.

I don’t know why they would want to use Gravatar when this forum already has it’s own avatar system.

I don’t know why we are allowed to post multiple comments in the same thread in a row, seems like an invitation for spam, or people constantly reviving their dead threads. I accidentally posted 4 in a row trying to edit a comment on a GD thread.
