If you look at my previous posts they already mention he has a point regarding Steam.
I see nothing like "read threads with new posts" on the new forums? This was a pretty nice feature on the old forums.
And what's the button for changing back to the bright design? Actually, would be great to have switching button somewhere at footer.

I like that I can have a dot in my name on the new forums
How does the leveling system work? Like I saw a dude with waaay less posts and threads than mine (and I hardly have any) and he was ten levels higher than me.
These forums have existed for a couple of months - maybe he's been using them? Also - I don't think everyone's profile post count is 100% accurate right now, will sort that this week.
So migrating your account doesn't really affect your level? Unless it's the post count issue.
Yeah migrating affects your level
is the shitty favicon intentional?
Help and support and Developer forums should have the ability to lock your threads and mark them as solved like oldpunch

Something weird I noticed compared to the old forum is that, when going to a different page, the entire screen will blank white before loading stylesheets etc. Not sure if this is a bug in general with html5 or something to do with Chrome being bad at predicting from cache.
There's no login button on the mobile layout :V
The migrate account thing doesn't work for me, I thought maybe I needed to make an account first and then migrate, but it still says page isn't found.
I had the same issue, you gotta b logged in on the new forums to have it work
That doesn't work, I still get a 404 page.
works 5 me Facepunch Auth
That link randomly worked for me, thanks.
I don't know if anything's been said about it, but pasting a YouTube link into a post freaks the forum out. At least it did for me.
How dare you - that favicon is beautiful in it's own way.
Love the new forums
bring back box 📦 Package Emoji
i prefer the old one
What is the best way to contact forum staff? I used to just PM mods on the old forum, but I don't see any way to do that here.
PM them on the old forums, or use Discord.
Quite a few links seem to be borked. Anythign that can be done about that? Or do we just re edit the posts?
Can the old forum URL redirects implement support for links to specific post numbers? ( eg https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1434585&p=46461828&viewfull=1#post46461828 ) I have a massive collection of bookmarks from over the years to posts with code snippets/tools/information that are within threads with a lot of pages. Currently it just redirects you to page 1 of the thread.
Yeah I can probably make it so that post links link to the moved posts. If you could post a list of your links that you want to still work, that's be great for testing. https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1434585&p=46461828&viewfull=1
Gotcha. Here's a few different URL formats with some side notes - although I don't think the GET variables have changed much since circa 2011 or longer. Mostly seems to be adjustments to URL rewrites. Anything before then is probably rubbish anyway. Some of these aren't multipage but still serve as an example. https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1569948&p=52422712 (same format as in your post, almost all of my bookmarks are in this format or the one with fragment below) http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1341204&p=43469693&viewfull=1#post43469693 (same format as above, but with URL fragment that brings you to the post - since post #ids are different now it's probably not worth implementing since it'd require JS to parse the legacy one) http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1444245&p=46844020&viewfull=1#post46844020 (same as above) http://www.facepunch.com/threads/threads/826999-Ragdoll-has-no-Physics-Objects?p=17755416 (not a multipage thread, but the /threads/threads/ seemed noteworthy and it does bring you to the correct thread) http://www.facepunch.com/threads/threads/showthread.php?t=979552 (similar to above, but without SEO title in the URL) http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1449139&page=5 (this was bookmarked as "VProf Profiling" but I had saved the page number instead of the post, not sure there's much you can do about that since default # of posts per page changed. Maybe let users adjust posts per page like vbulletin has? It was meant to go with this post by Willox which is now on page 7) http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=32614030&postcount=3351 (this is an ancient URL style, however this post is in the drop dead section and I couldn't find an example that exists on this forum. another one that probably isn't worth implementing) Let me know if you'd like some more examples.
