Welcome to the new Chaos Forum! We’re incredibly excited to finally have this platform live and active for our community.
As we navigate this transition, we know there will be a period of adjustment, and we’re committed to making this the best possible experience for all of you.
This dedicated thread is where you can provide all your feedback regarding the new forum itself. We want to hear about:
Any issues or bugs you encounter (beyond those covered in our specific merge request thread).
Ideas for new features or improvements you’d like to see.
General suggestions to enhance the forum experience.
Please be as detailed as possible in your feedback. Screenshots are always helpful!
Before you post:
Please check if your issue or idea has already been raised by another user in this thread. If so, consider giving their post a like or adding a comment to support it.
The goal of our new Unified Login system is for each person to have one single Chaos account for all services, and the best long-term solution would likely be to merge your old forum history into your main Chaos license account.
Here is how that process works:
Log in to this forum using your main Chaos license account.
In that thread, create a post requesting that we merge the post history from your old, forum-specific account into the main account you are currently logged in with.
Once the merge is complete, you will have one single login for everything, and all of your old forum posts will now belong to your main Chaos license account.
Would that be a solution for you?
We are actively looking into this, but I can’t make any promises just yet. We’ll be sure to announce any updates here as we have them.
This is actually still on our agenda and ultimately our goal. We will also share further news once available.
As a helpful tip in the meantime, you can customize the category list in the left-hand sidebar to show only the categories you’re interested in. Just click the ‘pencil’ icon next to the “Categories” header to create your own personalized navigation list:
With that said, we will look into what’s possible for setting a more default sort order for that list, so naturally, one that matches the same order and structure you see on our main Categories page. We’ll also investigate any additional useful custom sorting options.
Hi @Mamun92, I’m sorry to hear the new forum is a frustrating experience for you right now. Thank you for being honest about it.
We know the old Corona forum was very familiar, and a big change like this can be jarring when things don’t feel like they’re quite in the right place, or at least how you were used to it.
Just perhaps you could tell me a bit more about what feels wrong? For example:
Is it the visual layout (colors, spacing, fonts)?
Is it finding specific topics or navigating the categories?
Any other specific problems or hindrances you encounter?
Any specific examples you can give, even small ones, would be very helpful for us. Thanks in advance for any additional feedback.
Hi @simon_weel, please try making use of the “Dismiss” button, which you can find as seen here on the right side next to the “New Topic” functionality:
Let me know if that does the trick or if you’re looking for something else, perhaps.
Thanks for the clarification. I’ve looked into your account, and it seems like your old username was “tuami”? The new system assigned you “konorg” based on your login details.
I can fix this for you right away if that’s the correct username you’d like instead?
One more question: Since your name changed, any potential old posts from a previous forum may be on a separate account. Are you missing any of your old posts or threads? If so, we may need to merge that old account into this one to bring all your content together.
If that’s the case, let me know or simply leave a quick comment in this official merge thread,and I’ll pick it up soon thereafter.
Hi @simon_weel, to find your personalized “Unread” feed and clear out any old notifications, simply follow these steps:
Go to the Forum Homepage:
Navigate back to the main forum page (e.g., forums.chaos.com). This is where you see the general overview of “Latest,” “New,” and “Unread” posts.
You should see the “Unread” tab (or button) at the top of this overview.
Important Note: The “Unread” tab is dynamic, meaning it’ll only appear if there are actual unread posts from categories you are “Tracking” or “Watching” (hence why it’s hidden in that screenshot). If there’s nothing new for you to read, the button will temporarily disappear to keep the interface clean.
Dismiss Old Notifications: Once you are viewing your “Unread” feed (which should still exist for you), look in the top-right corner of that “Dismiss…” button I took a screenshot of prior:
I hope that helps, and let me know if you still run into any further problems.
Thank you so much for the additional input. I was able to reproduce the behavior you described at the beginning (missing category), and this will need to be adjusted, of course. I’ll forward this to the vendor to be resolved very soon.
When it comes to the rest of your feedback, we are now reviewing it to determine the best path forward.
While I don’t want to commit to a specific solution or promise just yet, please know that this feedback has been logged and is being taken seriously. Thank you again for the thorough report.
Thanks for your report. The Wishlist sections are (currently) set to read-only, and that is a deliberate choice.
To ensure that all product feedback is properly tracked by our development teams, we have a centralized way to forward feature requests into our official Chaos Ideas Portal.
Please submit any feature requests you have through the portal, as detailed here:
With that being said, we are evaluating ways to potentially integrate a feature request and voting system directly into this new forum. I can not offer a timeline or any definite promises yet, but we’ll certainly announce any updates once a decision is made.
