    The new Forums are Awful

    Why would you guys (Redlynx) switch over to the Ubisoft Forums. This is awful. No one has control over their own threads anymore. (Track threads, live streams, competition threads, etc..) this forum is a billion times harder to navigate. You have to make a uplay account to use the forums. It's not organized at all. This was a ****ty move on your part Redlynx. Very ****ty. There is nothing good about the change.

    I have to agree. This has nothing to do with hating Ubi, i'm not on such bandwagon or something, but the Redlynx forum was working fine as it was. I'm trying to get used to this change, but it's not working so far. If only you could keep the old layout, colors, everything and put a big fat Ubi logo on top. I expected something like that.

    Active topics: click the What's New link at the top left
    Captcha: Hopefully once you have logged in a few times and your post count goes up a little it will stop. It's an anti-spam measure for new-ish and / or inactive accounts.

    The forum theme for the Trials group might yet be updated. Let's wait and see what happens on that one.

    I agree. I can't glance at the pages quick to find what I want. There needs to be more use of bold type to make the text clearer etc. Can the background be disabled? It's really distracting!

    To me it seems like everything is far too complicated and makes it too much of a chore to scroll through it all. Don't fix what isn't broke. Blah blah blah, not hating etc...

    While the "What's New" thing is cool and all, it is utterly useless for me. I am here for the Trials forums, and really don't give two figs what people are saying about other games, and while there is a filter icon to the top right, I cannot seem to filter by game.

    As it stands currently, the swap to these forums is likely to kill any desire to spend time/contribute to these forums.

    Ok I am to say the least, pissed.

    You take my username and don't even offer a new one. I don't even know what happened to my post count, but to be honest it doesn't matter, it won't be rising much anyway.

    Well done guys, Solid job.

    I completely-fully-5000% agree with this thread. Why is it so HARD to navigate into these new forums, for god sake ?

    On the old RL forums, it was so easy to find a thread where you often go.

    Plus... What the f... happened to my Redlynx account ? I was forced to do a new Uplay account in order to post here... What did you do with this stupid migration ? Congratulations, you won the prize of the worst forums I've ever seen, Ubisoft.

    Sorry if I go too far with messing up but I can't stand all these bad changes.

    I linked my Redlynx account with this = Loss of My old account name, and this image verification to post, I don't even.

    This forum is just aids.
