I like the look, just wish I didn’t have to go through the constant “checking if this is spam” messages before it posts.

Bit fiddly getting it to display the date in the correct format rather than the US one:

Old posts are going to be ported over eventually, it just takes time. Also, 343 actively monitor the forums but they don’t go back looking through archives, no feedback is really lost by the old posts disappearing.
Also how do I view old topics in other words ones I’ve made in the past I used to be able to access it from my profile but I no longer see an option for that

Love the new site. Forums will take some time to get used to.
Looks nice, it will take me a little bit to adjust to the new changes. Looking forward to see where this goes.
If you mean from the previous forum, you can’t yet but they’ll be added later.
I think it is hard since they would have how many terabytes of data to port over, and make sure they are all up correctly

I just wish it DIDNT HAVE TO REVIEW EVERY SINGLE COMMENT I MAKE!
the new website is buggier than a flytrap. WTF? SERIOUSLY STOP SCREWING EVERYTHING UP YOU GUYS! It’s embarrassing to be a halo fan right now.

I’m loving it it looks so nice my only complaint so far is that the forums aren’t a part of the halo waypoint mobile app and instead goes through the lame discourse app which just opens the website in your web browser making the discourse app pointless
This sites exciting, its really a wonder to how fluid designs come in the years.
Definitely agree, some threads with tons of information that I had bookmarked are gone. I’ve started my own site to kind of keep some of those threads up.

I just noticed you can see other people’s edits to their posts. Not sure if I like that or not.
Its fine, still getting used to it and not keen on the profile layout so far
not sure i like it yet, finding it hard to read on the dark background. not a fan of the timeline thing on the side. i prefer the old way of just posts and scrolling.
already used ublock origin to hide the suggested topics box at the bottm of the screen.
seems more cluttered than the old forum, will see what else i can hide…
ahh, now it’s much less cluttered…add the following to ublock origin my filters if you want less screen clutter. (no timeline, no suggested topics, no hamburger next to top right avatar, no clutter under top thread post.)

Not going to lie, I really don’t appreciate the fact that Waypoint is now image heavy. The load times for a single page are HEINOUS. And what’s up with the lack of pagination on forum posts now?? Stupid. Makes scrolling very time consuming; it’s why I give up scrolling on websites like tunglr, twitter, reddit, because there’s no forum pagination; now Waypoint’s taken that away and made it pointless. Not to mention, but the whole “reloads page to view a reply to someone’s comment”? Super annoying. Yet another reason why the site is loading so SLOWLY for me. Y’all claim to be user friendly, but stuff like this is the exact opposite, IMO.
Boo to my Waypoint profile being… well… so plain. Sure, I don’t mind the fact that there’s no more unlockable avatars & banners, but having my avatar automatically set to match my XBL profile, and no banner at all is a bit bland. And why no “about me” box? 
Hopefully the latter paragraph will be rectified; press X to doubt on the former lol.**

UI is better everything else is worse.
I love it. I’m so happy that 343 kept the traditional forum system rather than Reddit-ifying it (like how Bungie did with their site’s forums). The aesthetic change is awesome, too! It’s gonna take some getting used to the new profile look; once Infinite releases and our service records start filling up, though, I know everyone’s pages will look awesome.
