Posts from Bugs in the new site interface Auto-translated

Just started using your new interface and immediately ran into glitches.

 In some threads with my maps, the preview images disappeared. Well, I figured no big deal, I'll fix it right away. I clicked "edit," inserted the images, and clicked "save." The images started displaying. But after that, in all my map threads that I edited, the thread titles stopped displaying. All these maps started showing without titles. I try to insert the title, click "save," and it just won't save.

Also, my signature isn't displaying, and in the new interface I couldn't find the button for editing the signature at all. Does it even exist?

Please share a link to the post with the issue so we can clarify the problem.

At the moment, it has been discovered that many posts still have old attachment links, meaning the images were moved, they just have incorrect links pointing to them.

We kindly ask you not to manually fix anything for now — the image issue is likely common across many posts, and it will be fixed automatically for everyone at once.

Regarding signatures, for now signatures are only available in the profile; they will soon also be added to messages as on the old forum.

In my profile, under the "threads" tab, some of the threads with my maps show up without a title.

Here in the list of threads https://heroesworld.ru/forum/section/159/7/ my map with 19 replies has its title completely missing, and you can't even click on it.

From what immediately "caught my eye":

1. There is no preview before sending messages.

2. There is no "reply" button for your own message (and sometimes you need to quote yourself). You can do this from the menu above the avatar, but there's another problem there (see below).

3. There is no button to influence the database with a comment (that was a useful thing).

4. There is no option to open a message in a separate window.

5. You can copy a link to a message from the menu above the avatar by selecting "share," but if you miss, instead of "share" you'll get "report"... Previously it was much more convenient by opening the message in a separate window.

6. The indication of the date and time of message posting used to be better than the current vague "some number of minutes/hours/days/months/years ago"...

7. The user's last visit time on the forum seems to have broken...

8. The old smileys are missing...

Perhaps over time the "list" will grow.

Among the positives, one can note "nested quotes" and the presence of a link to the quote.

I don't know where to write suggestions about the new site interface, so I'll write here.

In the attachments, due to the background, the download text, file name, and file size blend into the background and are hard to read.

It would also be better if files were at the top and images below, because right now it's a jumble of files and screenshots.

Thank you for the bug reports; some issues have already been fixed and will be deployed to the forum today. The rest will follow shortly.

We'll add the missing features.

In addition to the "Reading content in Russian RU" and "Reading content in English EN" modes, I would like to have a "Reading content in the original" mode.

Forced translation into one of the languages can be inaccurate and even confusing, especially if during a dialogue a term is reused in the second language and then translated back into the first language.

With the ability to see the original, at least there would be a chance to understand what's what.

And in my thread about depression, there's such beauty.

Should there be images there, and if I reload the page they still don't appear? Are there any errors?

Is this only in this thread or everywhere?

There are two options here: you could add a checkbox for prioritizing original content, or simply add a way to view the original next to the "Auto-translate" label.
The two existing modes simply redirect to heroesworld.ru for Russian or heroesworld.net for English; a third mode would be hard to fit in here.

Seems like images are present in other threads. Reloading the page didn't help here.

Do the images themselves open? They aren't attachments at all, just external images.

They don't load.

Could you bring back the green monitor indicators under usernames? So we can track who's on the forum and who's offline.

Under the statistics, the "today" user list seems to be making things up — sometimes it shows the same names as those online, and sometimes people who visited during the day disappear.

Maybe it makes sense to open a message window at the bottom right away when entering a thread (like it used to be before), so you don't have to search and click "post new message" every time and load the form. This could also help with the bug where a submitted post ends up on the previous page.

I'd also slightly increase the zoom in classic mode — in Chrome at 110% it looks much better. The database icons could be a bit bigger, and the avatars seem to shift slightly to the left instead of staying centered. I think their size used to be 155x155.

And as I already wrote in a private message — something seems off with the fonts, from size and style, and in styled threads also the colors. Plus the line spacing seems a bit too large. Also, the multi-line skip doesn't seem to work — it forcibly removes empty lines.

Once the message preview is available, I'll test the post editor.

I can see these images.
