Well, for me this is a little confusing xD I feel the old one is more simple...
And why new.ppy.sh not osu.ppy.sh :/ ? Like the topic starter said that jizz is the slang for sperm... I think it's not safe for underage children :3 and I feel a bit disgusted reading osu! website's address has "jizz" :'v

Edit: ouch it seems like someone has asked it already xD

Yes it does? Clicking a thread will take you to the last read.


So according to peppy, the option to go to last read post is already available, but I don´t seem to be able to find it. Anyone care to enlighten me?

I did what peppy said on his post, but it takes me directly to the first post, so what am I doing wrong here?

ONE THING: wish that forums were more condensed view, for more clarity. Especially for mobile devices.

Due to people being too immature to handle the jizz, I'm renaming the new design to https://new.ppy.sh. Please update your links, or continue to use jizz.

ey, while you're here: your current concept of page navigation is perfect; had I known this would have been the end result, I'd never have made any posts involving forum pagination because yeah, what you have here is great. Once the ability to type in a specific post number is added, I mean... it doesn't really get much better than that, haha.

I like the change to the pagination, but it was a little weird scrolling to the bottom with the ticker register the post number at the top of the page instead of saying I was at the end (like right now while typing the post, it says I'm at 121/122). Just a minor thing though.

Its seems to be better day by day. Actually I already liked it when it was firstly available. The font is kinda hard to read at first but can get used to it. You did a great job.

It's being improved a lot, even if I don't use it that much, I have seen a lot of improvements later on which are appreciated.

One more thing I wanna add is the fact that some flags are barely comparable, in a sense that they look too similar to each other, when it should not be like that. USA flag is similar to Malaysia's, and the same goes to some others. Also coloration could be better done, as some countries have literally THE SAME flag as other one, but with darker/brighter colors.

Also, this version looks a lot better on the cellphone, so that's something really really good, but it consumes a lot more of RAM for some reason. Maybe you can work on that, as well, I am having some freezes sometimes.

Good job overall!

Instead of ease in drop shadow for hover why don't you make it the animated triangles at the top of the page?

Dunno if it's known, but here's a quick heads up:

Clicking on the "view this blahblah new design" on the top of the page leads to (picture) when youre not on the last page (ex. go to page 7 and click the thing)

It also breaks if you move to another page and then head back to the last page. First page always seems to be fine though.
This is likely because the new forum design fetches pages differently from this one, but still tries to use it in redirecting the link. Like how the url will have start=105 or start=120 at the end of it (the number goes up by 15 per page), compared to the new design which goes by post number, using ?n=129 (or whatever post number you're looking at) to reach that post.

The only easy solution I can think of for that is if they remove what page/post it directs to and just redirect to the first page/post of the thread you're on. Since those will always be the same as each other with only a topic ID, not leading to any specific page or post number.

I think page navigation is way better now. The bubble used to get in the way of the post button on my tablet. As Kurokami said:

I actually love this change. It's something new and I enjoy this change. After coming into osu 2 years ago and getting into it back and forth I've seen countless changes and haven't been disappointed once! I douibt this will change that streak when it's fully finished and implemented.

different color of posts of users that bubbles / qualify
noticeable status of someone is BN or not
badges (charts champoin , osumania champion , elite mapper , etc.)
note codes like 01:17:749 (1) - 01:20:572 (1) - still appear as unclickable text / code

well that's what i can found...

The new forum design looks even better now the body is wider and takes more screen space. I use it all the time, except when I have to check my PMs.

However, I found something which might be worth looking into. The "tiny" font size:

In the old forum, the tiny font size looked like this:



However, in the new forum it looks like this:



It's barely readable! The other font sizes look fine, but the tiny one looks decompensatedly small. Please look into that.

Just previewed my post in the new forum. After expanding any boxes, I've seen that there is an extra blank line inserted between each of the lines of code in the bbcode section for CODE /CODE.
  1. I hope the devs can remove this extra line.
  2. I hope the devs also decrease the font size within the code sections such that it does not exceed the normal font size.

Hi. I'm here to report a bug. Marking a forum as read in the old forum makes it entirely unread in the new one.

I don't know whether this might be already planned or not but it would be splendid if you could manually pull one of the languagespecific subforums out of the "Other Languages"-forum and place it on top of the language-forums to improve the accessibility.
Having to scroll to the very bottom and having to precisely aim for "Deutsch" is not very appealing and discourages me from using that subforum.
If pulled up I could also see the latest post in the subforum which would be great to check for new posts.

(and I still think the subforum-navigation when scrolling in a thread is too small)

Apparently, I can't find it either yet, so there is none I guess.

What I noticed just now is how you diferentiate the thread listing and the posts on threads: in every thread we have infinite scroll from first post till the last while in the various subforums (ie. FR, G&R and so on) there still is the normal pagination.
Is this intended to be like this? Becuase imo this is what makes it still weird to have the infinite scroll for someone (at least for me)

It seems to take longer to load pages such as the beatmap listing, compared to the one on the current website.

The only thing that I don't like now is the quality of beatmap background preview. It's not the best but I hope it will be fixed

Is it just me or the audio preview is gone from mobile site?

Also, why we can't hide our favorite maps on profile like using a spoilerbox? It takes so long to scroll.

First of all, what i like is the whole design and its features. Since the new design of webpage is unique however, it consumes huge amount of RAM for long periods of browsing and may causes lags on other opened programs (maybe some users has 2gb ram or below experienced this). Especially on mobile devices. i tested it on my iPhone, the mobile design is good however, it feels kinda laggy when scrolling.

Visually it's looking good, but i guess i'm just more used to the old (current) one. Also it's lagging but i guess it's to be expected on test server.

As a pretty new user, I was a little put off by the homepage and its design since it's in an older style. The new forums (and other pages such as profile) look much better in contrast. Since I've never had a long period of time to habituate to the current/old pages, the newer designs look great in my opinion.

One thing I did notice is that there is no account settings button in the new design (or I completely missed it). But I'm sure that this is known and on the to-do list.

Overall, I like all of the pages from a visual standpoint quite a bit.

... Best "No results found" message ever.



I don't know why everyone dislikes the blur on the beatmaps page, I personally don't mind it that much. The only thing that bothers me for the moment is the low quality of the pictures. I suppose this will be fixed soon. Everything else looks nice.

Damn so saltyyy

But honestly it doesn't matter if it's slow. I really like the new website design and I am just so confused on to why so many people hate it? I remember when it first came out and then this forum came out and it had so many negative feedback. I guess some people just can't appreciate new things...

I dislike the sans-serif font used for the forum messages.
It seems really out of place compared to everything else. D:

We opted for this because the font used everywhere else is shockingly unreadable for long prose. That said, I believe we are still looking for a font that suits the osu! style better, just haven't settled on one yet!

Thread covers are waayyy too huge (half of the screen, seriously?)

I really like the new forum design; I would probably have no objections to always use it, because everything fits on my screen. Though, my monitor has a much higher resolution than most computers are capable of projecting. So I couldn't say the same for every one else. Maybe adding a setting to make the thread area shrink to fit people's screens more properly could improve the overall feedback.

I actually shrunk my resolution from 1440 -> 1080 and I don't really see anything too negative about the size, maybe aside from the fact that you still can't see as many posts on your screen on 1080p. I really don't think this is a problem, though. But not everyone has the money to make sure their computers can properly run QHD/UHD. :?

I also like how much more you can customize your own user page. As well as the page jump function and how it displays as kind of like a loading bar.

Imo it's seriously too wide. I mean, "usable space" is like 2.35:1 on a 16:9 monitor because of the bars at top and bottom (or I'm just used to every other website).

and it's mostly empty space but it surely will get dealt with
