Things I (so far) like:

  1. Easier to keep track of your threads/discussions
  2. Upvote/Downvote system instead of "Upvotes-Downvotes= x Upvotes" system
  3. You have your own profile
  4. You can use summoner, champion, and item icons (lol I know)
  5. Great search system

Things I (so far) dislike:

  1. It doesn't haven't a forum ring to it- it feels a lot like Reddit.
  2. Red posts:
  3. While it's easier to keep track of your own posts, it's not easy to keep track of Red posts despite the Dev Tracker being available.
  4. In addition, red posts don't stand out the way they used to on classic forums style, which substracts a lot of the "trust me I'm a doctor" feel.
  5. There is the Bold and Italic style, but no Underlining style :(
  6. You can't combine many formatting types together.
  7. I can't seem to find any emoticons :/

PROVIDE FORUM FEEL:
I'd like it way better if you could give it some of the visual details that the forum has.

  1. For example, I'd like it better if text would stretch across all over the screen instead of about 3/4 of it.
  2. Another example is the "First Post Alienation": The opening post always is seperate, giving the feel of an article. It looks like only that post is important, and the rest of the people are COMMENTING on it instead of DISCUSSING about it. If you just kept the title seperate, and threw the opening post in with the rest of the posters, I think it'd give more of a forum vibe.

That's all for now!

Excellent feedback. Thanks Borand!

Out of curiosity, which formatting types were you trying to combine that didn't work?

Would love to see the options for Polls or maybe making it possible to have a vote tally next to an idea. That way if someone is proposing a list of things or is trying to consolidate other wish threads together to make one massive wish thread and keep the main post updated with suggestions you could allow people to vote on the idea without making a poll.

Format idea:

Paragraph about topic

<Vote arrow> idea 1 <Vote arrow> idea 2

more random stuff

end Format idea;

Obviously can use whatever coding conventions they wanted but it would be nice to add the voting to an idea.

Also the awesome background art is awesome. So why is there all this white space here? -->

Maybe slim down the sidebar a bit and the post area as well, and then allow the posts to take up most of that space. There's a little beige overload and it's more or less all wasted space.
