I really like the design but 2 things which dissappoint me:

1) You need to scroll down to the very bottom to reply to a post? Makes it kinda weird when a post has 100 replies like this one.

2) You can't click on the timestamps when you get a mod (I hope this isn't intentional)

There is a button that allows you to scroll to the bottom of the page instantly.

I have tried the new forum on my Android tablet. It works well on the default, stock browser, simply dubbed "Browser". However, I also have tried it in Chrome (on my Android tablet, too) and the reply box doesn't appear, only a button which says "Load more". Is anyone else experiencing the same issue as me?

Do you happen to have javascript disabled?

You could also click the reply button on the post you are currently reading (to the right) and then delete the quoted post content if you don't need it.

This will be implemented at a later point.

In my opinion the design is better but funtions are less.

It gives me a more of a chilly feeling with the bright colors on the top of the page but the sides are white (gray) and is disturbing when you read forum posts (as the topic post color is also white). I like the new layout but this is the only thing I've found annoying. It'd be nice if you could change the color of the side of the page from white (gray) to something slightly darker so the eyes can concentrate on the topic board instead.

It was enabled all this time. Nevermind, it seems that problem is fixed now. Thanks.

I think I've forgotten or is it not available to change backgrounds on the new forum yet?

I like it. It looks pretty nice, and I think it feels close enough to pagination that I most likely won't be bothered by the lack of them (since I can fairly quickly figure out where a certain post is in a long thread by dividing it up in chunks in my head, probably).

The whole bottom bar is a bit big, especially when you're not using it and just reading a thread. Maybe make it smaller, and show the whole thing by moving the mouse downward?

And I still think

is the part where you should type to jump to a specific post, and use the magnifying glass for actually searching for words within the thread, since a magnifying glass almost always means searching.

Maybe you can add a reply button onto the navigation bar as well, since you can't post in a thread without either going to the bottom or quoting someone.

Both of these features are already in the final design, and should go live this week.

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.

things that still not 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.
