@Riot Feedback on your Community Beta

I don't like the new Reddit-like format. It is hard to find any threads or continuation of conversations and I can't even organize the posts by date found, summoner name, or upvotes or even downvoted comments. I don't see how making the Beta forums like reddit any more productive to the community. Are you planning on enhancing this format anytime soon? Will you have a FEK like feature?

Given that not evrythign is negative. I do like the champion /item icons and how I can check my updated posts and see my summoner icon{{summoner:9}} . It is just the flow of the threads that baffle me and the fact that I can't find what I want so easily as the old forums.

When an update happens in a discussion that you initiate or a reply is made directly to you in a thread you visit, you will get a notification at the top right of your screen. Your profile gives a listing of any discussions you have commented in as well as all of the ones you started, giving (relatively) easy access.

To sort by date, use the "recent" sorting or type, "?show=flat" at the very end of the website address (after the discussion title) to put the discussion into flat mode -- not currently endorsed as an official mode. To sort by upvotes, use the "Hot" sorting list.

Currently, there is no way to search posts by summoner name or by downvotes. We haven't gotten official word yet on the former, though many people have suggested it over the last few months.

If you wish to see the all-time-most-upvoted discussions, use the "best" sorting from the dropdown. Unlike "hot", "best" does not decay over time.

This format does take getting used to, but it is already much better than Reddit.

i complety agree, but i do like how riot has relized something needed to be changed on the forums.
