Can't wait, hope the site conversion goes well!

Super duper hype mode engaged!

What do you guys think of the new update so far? We can use this thread for feedback and suggestions as well

LETS GO

I dig the new layout for mobile a lot! One thing Ive been wondering though, why isn't there a section on the forums page for fh site related stuff? Like announcements or a customer service/recommendations page?

Im having issues uploading maps from phone and tablet, dont know about PCs. Its something to do with requiring download link and banners?

<3

Im trying to add a new map to the site but it is asking for an exteral download link and im not sure what that should be since 343 didnt give us a true file sharing sytem like bungie did, any help would be greatly appreciated

You can pretty much put whatever you want there. I'm about 99% sure it doesn't even need to actually link to anything, so you could even type gibberish if you want to.

yea that's what I tried and it just keeps asking for it I'm very confused by it lol this is what I get

download url:
please enter a valid url. ( I have forgehub.com as the url and even tried putting my 343 profile neither worked)
and you must upload a file to create a version or map

am I just missing something I feel like I must be doing something wrong but I just cant figure it out

Hmm...could be a glitch with the site update. It was tested ahead of time and was working correctly, but sometimes strange things happen with updates. If/When we figure it out, I'll let you know.

Edit - I just tested it myself. I was able to get past the download link by putting in a valid URL. However, I'm still unable to post a map because of a 'bannerimage' error, which several other people have mentioned.

We'll pass this on to the tech team, and try to get it resolved.

cant download any maps is it cuz of the update?

There's no online file sharing in Halo 5, so it's impossible to download maps directly from a forum.
To download a map you have to:
- Add the forger as a friend.
- Select them from your friends list in Halo 5.
- Navigate to Map Variants and find the file you want to download.
- Press in on the left thumbstick to download it.

It should then be available in your 'Bookmarks' in either Forge or Custom Games.

I tested this myself and I'm getting the same error. Map submissions were tested prior to releasing the new site update and everything worked fine, but sometimes unexpected things happen when you do updates.
We'll notify the tech team of the error, and work towards getting this resolved as soon as we can.
Sorry for the hiccup guys.

Yeah, I just tried and got the same error.

Ok I thought I was going crazy because I tried to post like 10 times lol

ok awesome im not crazy I did forget to mention the banner issue but I only got that one when I used my 343 profile as my external link thanks for getting back to me so quickly you guys are awesome

Right now, submitting a map requires you to provide a download link. Halo doesn't support an online file browser system at this time so you will just have to provide a working link to a site, can be anywhere. We will remove this requirement after the holiday soon. Thanks for reporting this issue and if any others come up please let us know.

This new design looks fresh! Only thing I don't like is the font used for the map names. It is kind of uncomfortable to read. I think an increased letter spacing (just a tiny bit) would help the legibility.
Another thing I recognized was that the little signs (map box) for comments and views are not being updated. Only the 'downloads sign' is being updated.
