Hey everyone,

New forums means room for growth and improvement!
What are some suggestions or feedback you have regarding the new forums?
It could be anything from "I don't like the color" to "Can you implement X feature?"

    top banners good, could use a fancy background though.
    Also wouldn't mind titles coming back, those were pretty fun.
    maybe even a shoutbox, or integrating a discord chat -if that's even possible-.

    The color is different than what I feel it should be. The main website's colors are dark orange/red, gray, and white. On the forums, purple is added into the mix (with the background). Gray might be a bit too plain, so maybe some background image would be appropriate? Maybe some textures or something going on like in the LawBreakers or Icarus forums? Would be great if the background and color theme updated with every major patch like the old main website, too.

    Is there also supposed to be a huge gap between the Nexon logo and the copyright/support/legal info?

    PS: I think you guys should add the Instagram & Twitch icons onto the main site like you guys have here.

    Could we have the option to use custom avatars in the near future? Also titles. :)
    Edit: Just read the walkthrough post. Still, titles would be cool to bring back.

    1. Make the home button bigger so it's easier to see/access

    New forums are sexy.

    It would be nice if user login was connected to the main page.

    Also, rip my post count.

    I think they could change the background at least, this black make me think it's kind dead(a old bloger named Shakar96 ended his blog with a black background), a more bright color could make this more alive just maple is(full of colors).

    Getting this error when using the "Go to Main Site" on the top-left of the Forums:
    403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
    You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
    EDIT: Resolved.
    Can we also get the feature to "Preview" Post when editing?

    Might have missed something but... no more moderator contact section?

    Oh also I'd love a "To top" or just another forum link at the bottom for easier navigation.

    I'm of the opinion that the plain background actually looks quite nice for these forums. If the decision to add an image in the background is passed I'd just want to say please make sure it's compatible with monitors that are higher resolution than 1080p! Far too often I see websites that make these awesome backgrounds, but forget that 1080p isn't the only resolution and they abruptly end.

    As for my own suggestions - a page to see all the available badges, and the ability to choose which three badges show under your avatar would be awesome!

    (I've perused my way through around 60 of the different badges to get an idea of what goals there are, but it was by no means a streamlined task)

    Another suggestion, for the "LATEST DEVELOPER POSTS" the link should actually go to the comment instead of some next random place in the thread. It's rather confusing. o_e

    Like going to Profile -> Comments -> and viewing a comment actually goes to the post you want to see.

    The plain background looks really nice with these forums. The new forums are looking amazing, huge improvement over the old forums.

    If I had to suggest something, perhaps a bigger icon for editing your profile? I couldn't find where to edit my avatar for the longest time. (yes, i am quite blind)

    wouldn't mind a section dedicated to videos, so fan art could be all just pictures art and what not.

    These new forums are pretty sweet looking. One of the main reasons I wouldn't visit the old forums was just how bland it looked.
