  • In all honesty, I would tell them to keep that feature in. It prevents users from editing what they said earlier and making others look like they are not making a grain of sense. Just an opinion, though.

    That should be removed in the future. That was a *super* early feature when the new site launched in 2013 that accidentally reemerged for this update I guess.

  • I don't remember it from 2011

  • I still got a page of the old site loaded. I am looking at it right now and feeling the nostalgia and longing....

    Not to be a downer, but this looks... ugly. :(

    And what the...?

  • I'm not the biggest fan, but I'll probably get used to it.

  • I did not get a notification!

    And I bet that you didn't, either. @JordanNPopee is having the same issue, so this is possibly a feature of the update.

    Right? MUAHAHAHAAH best feature ever.

    I like the old design more.

    • 1 hour limit for editing (FIXED?)
    • unable to name/rename/designate spoiler tags as you were able to do earlier under 'Other' this may look like a minor issue but for forum games it can be huge if you designate spoiler comments like (Rules)(Characters)(Skills)(Factions)
    • not a bug but please double the avatar size/scale
    • BUG: empty lines on list should not show the dot
    • Private Messages are bugged out, instead of sending a message into an existing discussion it 'respawns' the whole discussion once more (sorry Liquid), this resulted in a discussion of over 30 comments getting a duplicate spam
    • BUG: empty quote line breaks the whole quote, makes clear reading/design/penmanship harder
    • BUG: apparently lack of notification when someone replies to you (notification bell symbol indeed is missing)
    • BUG: clicking videos now opens another page instead of just playing them on this forum, pretty bad for those like me who like to add background music to stories in forum games (please revert this to how it worked earlier)
    • BUG: unable to follow/unfollow threads properly
    • BUG: games pre-zombie stuff don't show up listed in 'all series'

    test video implementing:

    well this seems to still work, hope it also still works for Private Messaging (once its bug free) EDIT: scrap that, video is not working as it did, it just shows an image from youtube and doesn't let you play the music in the forum here...

    testing quote testing quote dance dance all around

    Quite a few issues

    Just a heads up, some but not all of the issues are just probably errors and bugs that need ironing out from the initial site transition. In

    I really hate not being able to zoom on mobile. Why the fuck? It's a disturbing trend that's really hurting my ability to enjoy the Internet.

    It's also ugly and bland. It was better before. The new age sucks.

  • I can't even find the search bar on mobile.

  • Try to make a better contribution to the thread, please.

  • They seem to revolve their branding around "Telltale" instead of "Telltale Games" now - even in the URL.

    Also, no games before Walking Dead Season 1 are listed on the games page. :'(

  • [removed]

  • I would prefer if it was black background again. That I did really like, this is to white. But I do like the choice thingies and all. The update is nice but the colors, not so much. And I do miss the thumbs up button, I prefer that over a box with a number inside.

  • edited July 2016

    Ugh... I honestly hate the new design... like... why, Telltale? :'(

    I'll probably get used to it by time, though lmao.

  • Replies don't show up.

  • I actually can't flag you. It says: Table 'prod_vanilla.ttgshop_categories' doesn't exist. So I can't flag you for spoiling The Wolf Among Us, sadly.

    My apologizes but this is one of the worst updates i have ever seen for a website in my life, there is legit no point to any of this. This update honestly is more of a downgrade, it really did make me angry as the old one looked better and was more efficient and so i generally do think this is cancer as like the Itune updates and stuff like that heck i cant even go to the correct pages it always puts me in the direct middle page of each thread, why?!.

    Try to make a better contribution to the thread, please.

  • Nah I think they should allow editing, people can still edit things if they are having an argument, all this will do is cause problems

    I like the way it looks, though, I believe it would be nice if there was some grey or background designs, as someone state earlier. It's a little strange on mobile, but no doubt in my mind that I'll adjust. I don't believe I've seen any bugs that nobody else has called out. Oh, except maybe this.enter image description here Totally understandable, though, it's just the best day of the year, why not make it everyday?

    Edit: M'kay. Maybe I was wrong. The message thing is going to kill me before the person I just resent a whole conversation to does and for some reason I can't mark comments as read, even though I've clicked the button a good five to six times now. And after posting or editing a comment, the discussion is unfollowed.

  • You are lucky, I don't even have a 0 on the day that I joined. (For now)

    In all honesty, this is weird.

  • I can't do this anymore. Too much white.

  • Worth noting that you cant unfollow discussion, it just sends an error message

  • Mine is stuck at 99+ notifications, no idea how to get rid of it

    Yikes. I'm sure Liquid wouldn't like getting duplicates of every conversation he has, so I might have to hold off on resuming my message until that gets fixed. Total bummer, though. Hope that gets fixed.

  • I hate when sites are changing their design, I have barely gotten over the Youtube or Facebook changes. I'm used it now but, why? Why would you want to change a quite good-looking-designed (yes, that is a word, absolutely), to... Nothing. It's just white, why??!??

  • Well at least its only really the look, nothing else seems to have changed. Its not like when they changed the old blue format

  • Which thread is it? Send me a PM with more details and I can assist you.

    I'll just pop up and mention that I still can't unfollow a thread that got closed and hidden two years ago.

  • I urge everyone who has characters sent to, or discussed together with me copy-paste them from PMs and save them as text file, in case we may lose all the prepared story/characters.

    videos don't work as they did before

    quotes work but only as long

    you don't leave an empty line because that breaks the quote format

    edit: seems that got fixed now, one line doesn't break it, two do but that doesn't matter

    Anyway test Image Quote Seriously though I had problems logging back in. Edit: Okay everything looks fine, no real changes formatting wise

    Eh, I really don't like this update, to say the least. It looks like something is missing and the result feels just bland and far too bright, with all this boring white. It looks more like the website of a hospital than the website of a company known for their colourful and uniquely-designed games. Not going to say it's terrible, but its terrible. Don't even know why we needed a new design, since the old one hasn't even been in use for a year, if I remember correctly. So, all in all I am not a fan of this update, not at all. Hopefully I'm going to get used to it, but right now, I'm seriously missing the old design.

    What I noticed and which really needs to be fixed soon is the current inability to update the main post of a thread. There are countless topics on here, from general news about the games, to discussions about recent events, to fan work, that require a constantly updated main post. I just checked, and while I am once again able to edit comments I made without a time limit, I am still unable to edit the main post of my fan story, which is something I absolutely need to do at least twice a week to keep it up to date. I don't think I am the only one who is going to have a serious problem with this inability, so please, if the mod team could inform the staff about this problem, that would be great :)

    Also, I noticed private messages don't seem to work either, though I guess that is a known bug.

    To say something positive about the update, the Emojis are a genuinely nice new feature. That's about the only positive thing I can say about the new design until the pretty severe problems get fixed, but it's something.

    Don't worry, we're getting the editing thing fixed. It's a one hour thing.

    Glad you like the emojis.
