As title says, why is the new Battlefield Forum designed with such poor choice of font types, screen element property sizes, navigation- and command buttons, etc??? Never seen any other online forum in such poor shape or form… Sorry for the rant, meant to support it gets changed asap to something better. ---

Going off Topic not even a Battlefield 4 thread ---

Because the thousands of forums running for the last 20 + years on every subject were doing it wrong. ---

> [@Colonel-\_-Victor](#): > > Going off Topic not even a Battlefield 4 thread Exactly to the point, there is not even a topic section for the Battlefield Forum itself. And its not really off topic as its about Battlefield, for all versions of it ! And why do we e.g. need to go all the way out in the root folder to review other subjects about ‘anything BF4’? That should have its onw sub-folder, where in your have all main folders ‘all about BF4’. E.g. ooor guys really with BF3 interests, as they need to go back to home page and then navigate a couple of screens down to get back to their BF3 folders overview. This navigation is just terrible. ---

BF4 was a terrible mess at launch, obviously unfinished and badly broken. But the negative reaction to that from gamers was so strong that we hoped EA had learned its lesson and would not make the same sort of mistake again. But now, with BF5/1 only months away, we see that the new Forums are, well, obviously unfinished and badly broken. But they’ll fix it, later, sometime, eventually. If this is any indication of how things are being done at EA these days, that doesn’t exactly raise our hopes for BF5/1, does it. ---

Since the Battlelog forums are discontinued, what is going to happen to Battlelog proper? BF4 functionality really depends on that. I hope there is no more Battlelog or similar things for BF1, and we can do stuff in-game instead. ---

I hope there is no more Battlelog or similar things for BF1, and we can do stuff in-game instead. No official words about this yet so keep an eye out for that. > [@MorningTimeCloud](#): > > There is a thread you can post your feedback in… > > [My feedback on the new Forums.](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/my-feedback-on-the-new-forums/108847) This. It is so much easier to gather all the feedback from you guys in one place. Therefore I’ll close this thread now.
