I think they're great on new wikis; they're sleek, seperate from wikis, and have a nice modern feel, but please leave the old wikis with forums. If we're going to have to switch over to discussions, though, I should probably send in some feedback to FANDOM staff about some features that could be added. I've rejoined this wiki half a year ago and I've been on ever since. I've also been on originally since last year in Febraury. I've been using mobile the whole time and I've NEVER had any issues with the forums! Also, only one highlighted discussion makes no sense. What if people who aren't admins have something really important to announce that needs to be highlighted all at once? They'd have to fit in everything on the same thread as one highlighted discussion? Think about it. Threads would have to become super long, topics would be really disorganized, advertising is more likely to happen, necroposting could start, and it consumes way too much time. I'd agree with the idea 100 percent if we could customize the discussions, (backgrounds, colors, fonts, etc), be able to use markdown in posts (bold, italic, new times roman, etc) and have (at the very least) 3 discussions at a time. The forums made our life easier. Basically, the only thing that the discussions is doing is preventing spam highlights. Other than that, it isn't doing anything else. The new update just really sucks, you know. Wikia is just adding a bunch of unecessary updates that's making FANDOM even harder to use. Thus, the mobile features aren't really useful when most people are using desktop mode. Its not only people on this wiki that are complaining, its other people on other wikis, too and a lot of people are already looking into leaving fandom and saving all of their articles to switch to somewhere else or start their own website instead. Let's face it. All of our hard work is already ruined on this wiki. Also, if the chat option ever gets phased out, I'm quitting FANDOM. What's the point in staying? If this is going to be the case, I should have just stuck to Wikipedia itself because honestly, FANDOM is a burden and only adds stress to everyone's lives. Yeah, I agree. I agree.
