That is mostly because of the log-in issues, one would presume.
One can hope so, but I wouldn't be too certain about it. There's been enugh people talking about the new look hurting their eyes to make me fear that it might also just be people going elsewhere.
Plus there's the risk of negative feedback loops too where people start disappearing which makes more poeple disappear as there's less activity and hence less reason to stay.

Not sure if it is covered by "Fixing issues with incorrect permissions for users on certain forums", but the current "Group Forum" is a mess when it comes to permissions. I can access threads I'm certain I shouldn't have permissions for (I tested it using WTWSMS's dev discussion thread (WTWSMS team, the only thing I really looked at was whether I could open it; if you feel like it I'm sure you can figure out how to look at something of mine in return...) as I couldn't use anything from my own groups to test it as the forum is inaccessible when logged out and I obviously should have permissions when being logged in), and though I don't believe that the things I'm involved in that now are out in the open are highly problematic to have visible for a short while I would imagine that there are groups that might be discussing things they really want to keep secret.

Though it might be a little disruptive in the short term, perhaps it would be best to take the group stuff down until permissions can be set up properly? Mod teams can probably use PMs (or external tools, e.g. Discord) to communicate in the meantime.

No, that would be bad since it would mean we lose access to existing content. Making it inaccessible to everyone isn't a solution, that would just complicate transition.

Some feedback:

The gargantuan banners for game fora on the /forum/forums/ page are unhelpful and take away space that could be used either to list more fora or to list subfora for each game. I think anyone accessing the forum for games as fairly niche and text-heavy as PDS will be able to recognise the particular games' forum based on simply naming it for the game, so there's really no reason to insert humongous pictures.
Furthermore, thread height as seen in any subforum has been increased, which means (On my screen) that the CK2 forum for instance is a screen-full of stickies before I get to the non-stickied posts. That is poor design.
In addition, game fora has a large banner on top that is cumbersome and should be removed. Unlike the login feature, I won't suddenly forget where I am within a timespan of 10 minutes and need the banner to orient myself.
Subfora are inadequately marked. It took me a while to find them (Partly because I scrolled past all the inane clutter that you have added).
The right part of the /forum/forums/ main page and subfora ("Can't find what you need?" - links to buy games - members online etc.) cannot be disabled.
"Remember me" is still non-functioning.
Toggle width is not permanent, leaving absurd amounts of empty space around.

So far the update has been a setback for functionality and ease. I'm aware the software changes may offset that for you, bur as a user this has been a shitty experience and I frankly expected more to work or for the update to be delayed until you could get it to work. Suffering through an update that is worse on every visibly changed parameter is not taking good care of your customer base.

Go to Account > Preferences > Toggle "Collapse postbit by default" on. That'll remove the badges entirely until you collapse them out manually on a per-post basis.
You shouldn't have to be logged in to maintain a reasonable information density. In fact, it stands to reason that readers that are not logged in might actually care less about how much DLC someone owns.

Why disagree with me just pointing out an option? Never said I like it the way it is. *scratches head*

They are still working on fixing badges... i presume we may be getting the plaques back afterwards ? maybe ?
I hope so! Some of these are badges of games I bought just for the badge. CK1 and Vicky1 come to mind in particular. I paid a lot for these! Still, I don't want em to take up too much space; I just want my number back :(

Maybe it corresponds with the ones others have when they shouldn't? I have randomly received two distinct icons of "Park Life pre-order", for example, which I can't get rid of.

Actually, when i look at icons, i'm missing 8... but if i look at the owned items bellow, i have 212 of them... missing ony Craddle of Civilisations DLC, for some reason.

Same here, I don't have "Park Life" amongst my owned items, but I do have these two additional icons I don't own. For some reason "Park Life" is detached from both Steam and the owned items, existing on its own.

@pdxfreddy , @TinyWiking , would it be possible to have the icons center-aligned, please?

Also, things are looking up regarding icons... but there are apparently some remaining issues like those mentioned in the few posts above.
