@Korneel, that is actually now you name it, also how I feel. @SandervG we are trying to get a core message/feeling across, to warn you guys for what we are feeling that is happening, and the replies really don't address that. I mean I know how to open a new topic, or that the how's your day been topic is still there. It's not about that, or the things we miss or dislike, it's about the vision and how I think it is backfiring on you.

Will check later when I'm on my phone again. For now, since I'm bored with studying, some of the specifics that you asked for that might help. My flow used to be like this: 1) go to umforum.ultimaker.com and be logged in already. That can be replaced by https://ultimaker.com/en/community even though I have to login again... Now the real problems start 2)I used to be able to see the colored UMrobots in which sections there were new posts. Can't see a thing now. 3)The sections that didn't interest me(languages I don't speak etc) I clicked on the UMrobot to mark all as read. For the others I could see the latest topic that was posted in. Now I can't bulk mark as read. Also I don't see the last thread. This was especially useful for UMevenings as you could see if there was one coming up or not. This was moved down one layer having to click on the section first. 4) I would middle mouse click all sections with new posts to open them in new tabs. Again I would see the colored indicators saying there was a new post yes or no. I believe I could (middle mouse) click the colored button to open the topic on the last new post. I did this for all interesting topics. Then I pressed mark all as read to dismiss the other. I can't see which topics I've read, participated or if there are new post or the same since my last visit. Nor can I open them on the latest unread post, I actually have to search page for page until I recognize what post I read last. Nor can I dismiss all topics as read if I don't care about those. Alternatively 5) I would open the my posts page if I didn't have that much time, and I would see all the topics I've posted in and if there were new post to read for me. I hope you can see that 2), 3), 4) and 5) make it so that I need significantly more time to read new stuff, I also need a better memory to filter out what I had read and not. It just hurts my work flow by at least 350%, on something I cannot justify spending time on at all. edit: where did the full page edit/write post go, now I'm trying to structure my post in a 100px or less frame...

I know about those things sander, it's just that when I see this forum I don't see the information dense breeding place it used to be, I see a unclear design that has a low information density with notifications that don't work as I expect them, don't take me to the new post in my topic, so I have to search for the new content by hand etc etc. Also I feel like the community I knew isn't really out there reading everything for now, due to various reasons. This ofcourse is a vicious circle that I'll be happy to break when I start feeling comfortable with the layout and notifications and all the things that have been mentioned already

‎On my phone on the forum for the first time, it detects some playable media gives media errors and also always opens keyboard

@korneel I totally agree with your feeling. I haven't visited the forum except the feedback topic, while I used to check every hour or two. I said the same as blizz, this close interacting structure you tried to build should appeal to new non-technical users. Search, ask questions, get answers leave. Kinda like yahoo answers. I doubt those people will stay and be contributing users more than 10% of the time, but that is OK! Those people need our answers and expertise. The forum needs those people that answer the questions and for them to be there, they need to have reason to be there, their own posts and discussion that go into depths and explore our own dual extrusion etc. But that is the part where I feel this forum is missing the point. They don't feel like it's their forum anymore, just a place where you can answer questions. There were quite some news articles and products and methods I tried that I wanted to discuss, but opening the new forum made it seem so hard and not use full that I didn't share/discussed them. I'd love the old forum with problem fixes, I don't feel at home here where I can discuss all about Ultimaker and 3d printing. I hope your upcoming patch helps or the one after that, but for now the same as Korneel, I'll just keep visiting the feedback part every now and then. I hope I won't miss too much.

@SandervG @TheGuyKnownAsDim3nsioneer

What's the point of the global sign next to my name and shop. If I click on it I cannot change the language or the currency. Oh and middle mouse clicking on shop goes to https://ultimaker.com/shop/ Yes I understand it was made to click, and semi pop up, but people don't always do that. That's the feeling I get from this forum in general, it was made to be eye candy all over. Attractive for new inexperienced off the shelf UM2(family) owners(Nothing against those!) But the hardcore users were here for information, dense and with nice shortcuts to get to your information faster. And THEY are the ones I assume that should help those new inexperienced owners out as I understand the philosophy of the new forum. When you edit a post, the button that finalizes the post says post comment, rather than edit post or so. Are there no resellers, or does the page not work for me: https://ultimaker.com/en/resellers Had more feedback, but clicking on notifications to dismiss the new one delete my draft post. I wonder if more users share my thoughts on this next thing: I'll continue to read this topic, but in the current state I can not use the rest of the forum to my liking.

And how many posts are there on a page, 10 :(

More feedback: I keep losing the page numbers/previous ones. Kinda expecting them ABOVE the post comment. Also would like to see that at the top of the page, now I have to scroll down... Also if you go here, https://ultimaker.com/en/community/view/1467-post-your-latest-print?page=321 You scroll up, and the opening post shows, without it being clear that that is the opening post. No border or something. And! No page number indication. It seems that topic was dead for 2 years or so, but it isnt. Old links to forum topics don't work: https://ultimaker.com/en/community/view/1467-post-your-latest-print?page=314#reply-100949 I used to use the page where you saw all the topics you posted in, ranked by latest post almost exclusively when I just wanted a quick update. Kinda can't find something similar now. When adding a picture of a print, I LOVE the fact that you can incorporate some settings, but WTF @ resolution starting at 20 microns, and then 21-40. Just leave it open to people to fill out their exact value. This is so useless, 21 is something totally different than 40. Icons in the post comment are to small, add external image for example isn't clear what it is.

Hi Sander, I heard some interesting things regarding NYC 3D print show, and Cura. Regarding the feedback, here's some initial feedback I gave: https://ultimaker.com/en/ultimakercom-feedback/view/11734-general-forum-feedback?page=2#reply-104543 To be fair and honest, I doubt I'll be continuing using the forum like I was in it's current state. I'll give it a chance, but it definitely feels totally wrong. Unrelated but related: I have no clue why I was level 1, and now I added my name, became level 27

The tease is real. Let's bite: Yes I would love some boring stuff from R&D, it is my favorite!

Linebreaks are indeed turned off on the forum currently, we will be looking into this and reviewing how this will affect current content. btw: quotes are working fine on my side, I'm a long time firefox user This looks like it works, but the OLD quotes from previous topics, they are messed up like Blizz wrote, with the HTML blockquote

Robert, more old news to share ?

Pffft, just found the new forum. I must say I'm not liking it so far :(

Wow, guys, really? a) you are getting spamed by spammers. b) quotes don't seem to work(FireFox, chrome) c)WYSIWYG doesn't do it's job, enters are not ending a line, causing this to be one big paragraph d)test c) All things take getting used to etc etc, but I am really, totally, utterly, completely lost. I understand what the people were thinking and trying to create, but there is just too much spacings everywhere, leading to a 1% information density.

Weer simpel en doeltreffend het lego blokje Tjsa ik wil voornamelijk kijken hoe mijn type prints uit een tumbler komen. En een Lego opstelling met wat geprintte hacks en onderdelen die ik nog heb liggen heeft dan qua budget de voorkeur. Een beetje tumbler ben je €100 euro aan kwijt zag ik, en dan heb je een kleiner volume dan wat je eventueel zelf zou klussen. Of mis ik de tumbler voor een knaak op de hoek van de straat winkel ergens ?

I've noticed that bronzefill doesn't really care. I've been printing at 0.6/0.2. As soon as you sand it a bit, all the layers are gone anyway!

I wouldnt even dare to try that Nice job!

In die tijdelijke Lego oplossing(ik heb zelf nog een RCX liggen ), hoe had je de binnenkant van de pot zo gemaakt dat het mooi schepte, of is hij van origine niet rond? Brilliant, ik ga mijn Lego uit de kast halen Deze opstelling was veel te kritisch. Print even een verloopje uit zodat mijn normale motor erop kan gemonteerd worden en dat hij hem aandrijft via de Lego, zo kan ik een vertraging inbouwen. Genius! Dan alleen nog een pot, en messing schroeven en dan kan de test nu wel 24 uur worden uitgevoerd.

Also found this on the forum: http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/4479-sound-dampening-ultimaker-original/?p=102240

Welke tumbler heb je hier gebruikt en wat voor polijstmedium/schroeven ?

One thing that bugges me is that you can't manually feed the plastic any more to prime the nozzle. How do you do that? Otherwise I'm interested in building one. The speed and sound level attract me

I rotated at the speed that it was able to rotate, and that it didn't start spinning like a centrifuge. In other words, no clue I ended up letting it rest on my bathroom floor, with some sewing oil between the floor and canister. I didn't add any liquids at all(be careful when opening the canister). I did a run with some polisher in it too. Didn't turn out that well, messed up balance, didn't tumble it that long, print got soaked when rinsing, and broke during final polishing run by hand because I didn't gave it time to dry. I'll build a more reliable setup after the exams, get some brass screws and start the real challenges like the owl and my tank

Even snel iets geklust, lijkt sort of te werken. Helaas wel zilverachtig door de RVS schroeven ipv Messing

Did some proof of concept prototyping today, having a 3D printer that can print out parts for your design is sweet The silver one is the tumbler one after an hour. I had stainless steel screws, no brass :(
