I’d like to say that the new Waypoint looks awesome !
And allthough we know it’s probably not done yet. I’d like to add a feedback tip.
Because after a couple of hours I noticed that it would be nice to have a way to jump to the last post in a topic in the popular topics list.
Edit: 10-20-2014. 20 posts per page is back! Thanks Forum Team!
An optional dark theme for easier night-time browsing would be very nice.
A way to identifiy monitors (moderators) would be ideal. Sure, you can see the “patch” to the right of the avatar, but it doesn’t stand out.
Figures of “authority” in the community should have different colored patches. Red for monitors, blue for devs, etc.
Sometimes when I click “submit” for a post, nothing happens and I have to reload the page and copy paste back in to post my reply. Could be an issue with my older version of IE, but I never had this problem before.
Also, it seems I cannot edit posts. Hmm.
I love the look of the new Waypoint.
Only thing I am a bit disappointed with is the ‘Halo Waypoint Career’ no longer showing ‘overall’ Halo MM and campaign stats, achievement total (461/461) & I was hoping for a ‘Halo playtime’ (across all games) on the main screen too. The old Halo Waypoint Career top page had more cool factor / showed ‘what we have done’ overall in Halo a bit better.
That is relatively minor and I’m glad that it still tracks our Halo GS (same thing more or less).
Looks so clean and runs extremely smooth. Props again to 343 for taking Halo to new heights! Can’t wait for the future.
Really digging the new look**!**
One thing I noticed earlier when trying to setup my bio was that my bullet points weren’t working. As in, the actual bullet points were there but what I had written for each point was missing.
So stoked for 11/11/14!

This
Notifications would be also a great thing.
OK, here’s my feedback-
Sometimes, forum ranks on members’ profiles show up in what appears to be Chinese characters. Not sure what’s up with that.
Now, I’m seeing Spanish words instead of English for members’ ranks.
Why is the requirement for Marine-Onyx written as 200 posts as opposed to 500 posts for Marine-Gold?
Since that’s my next level up, I’d like to be able to see how far I still have to go, which leads me to:
User stats. Awesome new interface, but why can’t we view more than one of our old posts, and none of our likes? I’d really like to be able to review my forums activity history, but as far as I can tell I can’t with the new site.
Let there be forum themes to choose. Halo title screens for example would work very well.

Make this happen! <3
So apprently you have to be a specific rank to post links, is that true?

> - Multi quote feature - i know you can already quote multiple posts, but its no fun pressing the quote button, then scrolling all the way back up to repeat the same process. Also, i don’t think you can quote different posts over different pages (correct me if i’m wrong). The Old Waypoint had it down pat.
> - Bring back the highlight feature please. It was very useful.
> - Increase the amount of posts per page? Since the new update, its been reduced by half. This may be a personal issue, but only 10 posts per page seem really awkward.
> - Allow us to see more than 1 recent post in our profiles, 10 is the ideal number.
> - As others have pointed out, a dark theme would be nice. The current theme hurts the eyes in the dark, especially for me who needs glasses, anyway.

You need to be a certain rank to be allowed to post links or images really stupid man.

Yes that is true.
I actually just thought today “shouldnt they change the website to match the halo channel”
343 was a few steps ahead i see

Correct. Need to be a Marine - Iron.
Forum list font type is terrible.
Please consider:
Bring back graphics that clearly identify 343 employees and threads in which they have posted.
Add “wrong section” and “necropost” to the report post drop-down menu.
Add “additional comments” section to report function.
Reinstate the separate section for playlist feedback.
