A long-awaited new look for the Community forums has arrived 🥰 Take a look at some of the changes made below. 

Be mindful that when we change and implement these new features, the community will break and have unexpected issues. Thank you for your patience and trust that we'll soon be back to working as it should. Comment down below if you find an issue!

⭐️ What does it look like?

The community is now cleaner, and it will be easier to navigate. One of the most important changes is that the homepages of each game will disappear:


And instead will look like this:


Or in the mobile version- we'll go from this...:


...to this:


You will see, the changes are easy to get used to, and you'll get the hang of it very quickly!


⭐️ When will we launch it?

It's out now!


⭐️ What does it mean for you players?

It will take a bit of effort to learn how to navigate the site, but we think in the long run that these changes will make your stay in the community more efficient and enjoyable. We hope you can also give us feedback and report if anything breaks! 🤗

    Hi Fluffy, I don’t really have anything bad to say about the new look, other than the font on our numbers: ⤵️

    The font is so wonky and sometimes hard to read….

    Like what does this even say?! ⤵️

    On a brighter note, something I do like is this: ⤵️

    How it shows when you were last online and things like that. So nice!

    Here’s a major issue though: I’m not able to tag anyone! 😨😨

    The new look is good, but I think the sender information needs to be larger in order to be seen clearly. On the other hand, the screenshots which I posted earlier today and others look absolutely enormous and need to be reduced in size.

    As @CassD posted

    The new look is good, but I think the text and number information needs to be larger in order to be seen clearly. On the other hand, the screenshots posted look absolutely enormous and need to be reduced in size.

    I play from laptop a posted screenshot doesn't fit on my screen and the fonts are small. I don't dare to think hoe it looks on a mobile phone.

    Some additional comments

    1. where can I start a search to find a subject?
    2. you added an arrow to take us to the top of the page, very nice
    3. you must add another arrow to take us doen to the end of the page. With the huge screenshots the pages are VERY long

    It's too late to ask for feedback, really. Could've at least tested it yourself first.

    2 bugs I noticed within seconds are being unable to tag other users and the navigation lane (the one that stays always on top) sometimes doesn't work (can't open profile or press the 3-line button) or 2 lanes appear - one bugged and one working just underneath.

    Anyway, it's impossible to go back to Candy Crush Saga's forum from here. Don't know why you'd want such huge icons at the top which don't even fit the screen.

    There's also an annoying "+" button at the bottom right that won't disappear even when you're typing.

    Seeing thread author's avatar is also pointless - serves no purpose whatsoever; just fills the screen with junk.

    The number on the notifications bell is now miniature, btw.

    Site navigation menu (3-line button) is now empty. That must be a joke


    In conclusion, there is still no PM feature for community members to socialise without going to third-party websites/apps, so this update seems overly useless to me. I'd just got used to the old one, and now this even less functional platform!

    I don't like it at all! The old system worked fine if you ask me. I haven't discovered all of the flaws yet, but apparently @doondie has. Actually flaw #1 can't tag members. It seems to me the community is becoming less of a community and more like a computer program

    Hi reble child. I agree with you. I liked the old one better. I did post l like it. But I'm having second thoughts. When I click on my avatar. To check the posts. It won't let me.why do they change everything?

    I'm not sure of the reasons for the change. This system is all new so I have no clue what is working correctly and what the issues are yet. But still I don't like it

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
