User blog:Flightmare/Introducing the new Wikia forum.

The Elder Scrolls Wiki has been providing forums for quite some time. This old system proved very difficult to use for the average user and (even in our eyes) is quite an abomination. Blogs show how alive our great community really is, but blogs have their limitations as they are quite hard to navigate.

Wikia has recently launched a testing version of the upcoming forum feature. We decided to implement this feature early so you all can benefit from it right away!

The new forum can be found at Special:Forum, or at the new shortcut in the black navigation bar. It uses the new bubbles-icon found in the top-right corner, which houses updates on any threads you follow. Some of the features you missed out in blog commenting can now be found on the forum, such as quoting. At the top, a breadcrumb trail can be found. This is used for quick and easy navigation through the forum.

One of the main aims for the forums are to move all game or bug related discussions out of the article talk pages, into the forums. The forums are much more suitable for discussing and helping each other out. The article talk pages will remain exclusive for talk about the article itself. Feel free to start threads on any subject you like, that lies within the Elder Scrolls universe.

For now, every article has a footer with relevant forum discussions. This is a test as well and may not prevail in the future. But by then, you all probably know where to find the discussion board.

''Remember: This is a test version, we might disable it at any time. But of course we wouldn't want to see that happen.'' Go ahead and try the new and improved forums and leave your opinions in the comments.
