After some time you will not want to go back to the old forum

I already don’t want to aside from viewing archived posts, hopefully those can be imported.

Unfortunately they can’t. The 2 systems are so different that we’re not able to port the data over. We spent a decent amount of time trying to do this, but ultimately it wasn’t working and we had to decide to start fresh.

I’m glad to see that the old forums haven’t been deleted, though. They’re still around in read-only mode: https://trakt.tv/forums

We just need a way to get there, a link from someplace (I noticed all the “Forums” menu/button entries on the main Trakt site point here) so people don’t have to remember the old URL.

@justin Can you promise us that the old forums will stick around for the foreseeable future, so the years-long archive of discussions won’t get lost?

As long as there isn’t a technical reason, I’m pretty sure we can keep them around for a long time. We have had to hack the old forums over the years to keep them working, but I think read only will continue to work ok.

I like these, definitely different and going to take some getting used to though. I’ve never used Discourse before, mainly used xenForo (that’s what I use for my site as well). But this isn’t bad at all.

EDIT: Actually I think the DC Universe Forums might use Discourse, not sure though.

My first thought (and post) on the new Forum was AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH

I think now that was purely because we don’t like change.

Now I have to say that I am getting used to it and do quite like it and finding it easier to use the more I use it (obvious!)

Just wish my spellchecker would work in here

LanguageTool, an open source app similar to Grammarly works with most web apps, and I can confirm it to be working in these forums. Available as a browser extension.

Excellent, thank you very much @marathone . I have just installed on Firefox and works great
