Instead of the current doom and gloom over the new forum I intend to try to show how to fix problems or how to get to things that are not immediately obvious when coming from the old forum
Broken Links
For this I will just quote an earlier post I made
To get to where they are go to the page it redirects you to and you take the part of the url that is /en/ and replace it with /forums/
Example
Inferno of the damned guide (redirect: 404 page not found)

Hope this helps
Edit: Turbine if you are reading this change your redirect so that it automatically has the /forums/ instead of /en/
Forum Homepage
Some people really say that they dislike the forum homepage compared to the old one. However, the problem is they see the community homepage which is currently bugged to show if you go on the top with community: forums. The actual forum homepage is
https://www.ddo.com/forums/forum.php
If you get the "We are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again later."

submit

Having already gotten new display names
Honestly I don't have a new fix for this but will just direct you to a forum post made on it by tolero

3rd post down is the direct link to the ticketing system.
Subscriptions
To get to subscribed threads go to "Quick Links" click on it, and in the drop down menu is subscribed threads. If you see the "Welcome, [username]" below it is a light grey bar and below that is a dark grey bar, Quick Links is in that bar. You can also find quick links by using word find (Ctrl+F on most PC's and on chrome and firefox) and type in "Quick Links". That will direct you to it as well.
Dev tracker is currently down until turbine fixes it
If you have any other bugs or bugs fixes Post them in the thread and lets see if there are any work arounds until turbine fixes things.
