So from reading through some of your stuff I already gathered that many of you have a lot of ideas and I'm sure they'll be heard in due course.
In this part I'll list some minor stuff that should be relatively simple to implement and make the general experience better even though it's just little things.
The BB Code helpers
And a note to all bb-code haters: Yes a lot of stuff doesn't work anymore. The new bb-code parser is a lot more strict which will be better in the long run, get used to them, you'll probably be stuck with them for a while (of course they'll be evolved, BUT THEY'LL STAY STRICT!)
Albums
I wanted to write that some should be created to move that bogus album by crossfire away (which is only needed for technical reasons), but users have already taken care of this.
So good bye, good night, try to see this as an opportunity rather than a regression.

These headlins
They're huge and creating massive spacing
make them more decent!
The BB Code helpers
- The "Hx" dropdown: it sometimes disappears when you hover between two entries like H2 and H3, quite annoying
- The URL-thing creates [urlnew=x]y[/url], which doesn't even work, it's just [ url ] and they all open in new windows, please fix it.

People don't like it, bring pokals back
- sometimes when using bb helpers nothing gets entered at your cursor, can't really replicate but it happened a couple of times while I was writing this

Great write-up, though.
As I said, I like the site. The lay-out looks cooler and "fresher" (not sure how to describe it).
There are, ofcourse, some things I'd like to see and there are some things I'd like to see removed, but it's impossible to make everybody happy. Change is a difficult thing for alot of people (hence the new map fails, just an example of the ET-Community) and it will take time for this community to accept the site as it is and/or will be.
I'd just like to say, great work guys and I hope you listen to the community and makes changes/updates where needed :).
There is hope for you :D
Thanks ^^
Only the buttons for interacting with the page could be a bit larger on the mobile, but those are easy and small fixes.
If tags would work within [h!de]-tag, everything would be fine or did I miss something?
I think people shouldn't be confused with half-working features. I still don't quite see how this is gonna work at all. when I follow 20 people I bet my inbox will be spammed to an amount that isn't funny anymore and so far it doesnt seem like I can open a certain page where I see what the people I follow did. notifications just dont seem right to me.
what I was gonna say: people are already confused when things change. we as users dont need to be challenged with features that do not work yet.
Your feedback is appreciated though.
ehm... does that mean I only get notifications when they create something like a news post? or journals? forum threads? so maybe if I was wrong, you see you could maybe go more into details how things work, cause obviously dumb people like me dont understand stuff when reading it once if some parts are just somewhere between the lines, if u know what I mean ;)
I didn't mean to just complain, I think I am one of the few that may be critical, but I try to give some sort of feedback that isnt like "everything sucks, we want cf3 back".
For now it's only content you'll be notified of when someone you follow creates it. Not comments. Yet we're thinking of implementing a possibility to opt-in for comments also. Maybe not high priority though.
Notifications should work as intended, maybe a minor bug here and there, but nothing obvious for sure.
I bet if you give it a try you'll see this site aids your life on Crossfire to such an extent it becomes a much more pleasant environment than the third version :)
Also, we're constantly monitoring feedback & implementing bug fixes and feature requests.
can just imagine someone mad saying duck rather than fuck, would make them even more mad :p
Why was there even a beta launch 2 months ago? just for the lolz? You obviously didn't test most features at all. A six year old kid could have spotted these bugs, you would guess a half decent coder would notice them as well.
I must be an asshole now for pointing out the obvious.
On a serious note, are you paying I2Y, 4drenaline and Excite for their work?
Of course I still didn't get used to this new layout, but I'm sure it's a matter of days.
I really like the design, simple & very recent.... it's quite difficult to get one with such large community sites that have a lot of features.
well done to everyone who have worked on the project!
