Please add a shortcut to the navigation bar to access this forum. Most players visit the Event forum for its social aspects, so since most social topics have been moved here, a shortcut should be provided.

Please reorder the order in which the forums are listed for ease of access. Events, Game Help, and Gameplay should all be listed next to each other since they are about the game itself and real-life equestrian talk should be at the bottom. Right now the order is completely random.

"I can add Dr Zigs blupping guides directly in the main topic, if that helps?default smiley default smiley (ow)"

copied from Devs Corner.

Please. Wherever they fit best. As long as we can link or recommend them they are such a help with all the blup questions which disappear then have to be asked over and over again.

Thank you

I think the changes make sense. quite often topics got lost or were hard to find. I agree add this to the drop down bar.

I like this new forum a lot actually; will take a bit of getting used to but I see the BLUP/breeding help is here now (didn't know where it was before) and a lot of the more social threads being moved out of Events and into someplace that's a little clearer will probably be good in the long run. default smiley :)

I also like some of the new threads like the ones to share coat/background combos!

Agree with putting a quick-link and also moving it up on the list so it's not down at the bottom will be helpful because right now it's a bit hard to find and get to.

Like others have been saying, it would be better for the "Gameplay Discussion" forum to have a quick link, since most of the active threads are now here instead of the Events forum. Maybe have the "All Forums" button be a dropdown menu, so when we mouse over it the individual forums pop up and we can select which one we want to go to.

Hello everyone,

I want to share a quick tip to help you easily find your favorite topics.

You can use the "Follow this thread" feature to keep track of them.

Hover your mouse next to the title of your favorite topic, and a star will appear. Click it, and a star will be added next to the title, making it easy to spot.



Also, when you follow a topic, you will be given another feature that allows you to see only those topics, if you wish.



I hope this helps!default smiley (ow)

I saw you found it, but those who cannot find it in this pile of chaos, it's HERE

The "new style" doesn't make much sense to me, sorry to say.
It's more chaos than my desk is o.O
