Are images showing for other people? When someone posts an image (eg: Geoff above) I just see a triangle shape, like an empty roadsign.
To DSTV staff:
Any word on whether we're allowed custom avatars or not? Things seem to have gone quiet on that after first telling us we are allowed them - and us discovering we don't have that option.
Also, thanks for your efforts to help us so far. I know we're sending a fair bit of negative feedback your way, sometimes for things you may not have been personally responsible for, but I hope this isn't all written off as the usual griping and resistance to change. Because I also really hope you rethink some of the design of this forum/community. I frequent a number of online forums, and have designed a few myself, and I can honestly say that this is the most uncomfortable experience I've had in many years. I mean, I'm only really following this thread and even that doesn't work smoothly, sometimes the same 'notification' popup keeps happening, and clicking on a new post notification seems to be a bit random in terms of where in the thread one ends up.
When I'm using a forum, I need a way to quickly and easily get to the first unread posts in threads I'm subscribed to. Then I need a way to quickly survey what new threads and posts have been made that I don't subscribe to yet, preferably without having to see the same large images and news articles every time. I need a way to manage my instant messages with a good degree of control, and I need to see a decent amount of content on a page - something that is not the case right now with these huge expanses of white space. A lot of people are interested in custom avatars and a decent collection of emotes too... something you may want to get a handle on before the full launch.
That's it, that's the basics that most sites provide, and yet this is where this one falls down. Other bells and whistles, trophies and pictures of Jessica Biel... we know they're coming, we know it's 2018, but please first prioritise the ability to navigate and communicate with some degree of comfort.
My 2c. Thank you.
