It certainly has plenty of modern features and quality of life stuff, it is nice in that regard. The sidebar forum is more confusing than anything else in my opinion and it really made a big deal of the first bad impression I had. The forum navigation itself is mostly handy.

Good call, I cleaned that up a bit and restructured categories. Is this better?
Yeah it’s cleaner for sure.
Now i can edit my old post, it is good news! And, how about pictures? They will be displayed again (somehow) or I should fix i t manually?
Thank You, Spirit for Your work!
P.S.
I confused a little bit, why there is no link here to main site “quaddicted.com”.
Or quaddicted.com becomes now discuss.quaddicted.com definitely?
Thanks, I forgot. Added a header now.
Pictures should work, do you have specific posts where there are issues?
Both my threads
and
does not show any pics, just links on it.
Ah poop, those weren’t converted properly by the migration tool. Sorry 
Do they appear if you edit your post once and save?
I cannot add demos either.
Yes, it works:
https://discuss.quaddicted.com/t/texture-wads-never-used-in-quake-before/2995/25?u=qazzaq
Now I should fix all of the post step by step. Wooh!
Where exactly? Demo uploading to map review pages was removed some weeks ago, after having been announced months before. https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1325
It will be back, some day and different.
Yea, I read the announcement. The feature remained a decent time afterwards that I thought the cancelling had been cancelled. 
Wow, Spirit! I impressed of some good-new features while posting. External links now has a little preview, its great! And (finally) users can post images direct from theirs PC - woohooo!
By the other hand changing the way to rate/discuss a maps is, hmm, so unusual, that some time is needed to get used to.

Yeah it is definitely not ideal. I hope someone will write something that works right on the map pages.
I have now “muted” the files category so that it’s cryptic titles do not appear in the latest posts list anymore.

The new forum looks great. But I’m worried about how the new rating system works now.
I had a dream to play every map on the site. And the old ratings were handy to find new maps for that.
You rated 661/1802 releases, 1141 to go.
Is there any chance this counter will work in the future?
Yes, that feature is absolutely crucial and will be back for sure!

In terms of suggestions, I think the non-cryptic Recent Activity ought to be fixed sooner than later. It’s nice to check the front page of quaddicted and clearly see what people are playing, rating, and commenting about on the releases, and was always something to look forward to when visiting quaddicted.

To be honest, after the forum was moved here, it began to die. Now I’m generally bored on the forum. There is almost no activity on the forum. Bring the forum back to the old site.
Definitely! The frontpage is quite useless at the moment. Unfortunately I have had zero time to work on the site in the past few weeks. Maybe there will be some progress during the holidays.
If someone wants to help build an interim frontpage (using Flask) please shout.
My priority is to re-enable DB additions first and to actually publish the new DB interface.
Dude, please be more nice. I doubt that the forum software is to blame. It much rather is an issue of halted updates to the DB and that is something the new forum actually makes easier in the future.

https://www.quaddicted.com/ has a feed for recent activity again that shows the latest comments on releases.
Changes to ratings are not included because nowadays one cannot post a rating without a comment anymore and thus, showing what new rating was added would implicitly leak the author of that rating (latest rating = latest comment). I am not sure how we should handle that in the future. It would be easier if ratings could be all public.

Hi, long time lurker, first time registering. I appreciate all the work that must go into maintaining this site, not to mention those creating the maps. Thankyou to Spirit and all the mappers.
However, I think that there needs to be some “back to basics” here. The map page has not had any new maps added since Sep 2023; one of the primary functions of the site (at least for me) was to download maps. I think some priority on getting new maps available for download on the maps page would help reinvigorate the user base and start generating some forum activity again.
