A milestone for the future of Creator Resources

If you all change the url of the devforum, please have each and every link from the old url redirect to their new url counterpart. Not sure if that’s even possible, but I’d love that so that all the google search results don’t become irrelevant.

Will we ever get a light mode for all creator hub resources?
I generally was using the the old devhub documentation site + Roblox developer stats on light mode and am quite surprised that we don’t have a light mode for the creator site :frowning_with_open_mouth:

This is cool! Please make it easy to traverse though.

Where is the “Create a new place” button (on Firefox) or was it removed on purpose?

When I click the dropdown menu, horizontal and vertical scrollbars appear larger than they should be, very interesting.

Glad to see some of the old interfaces being touched up. Looks very promising! Hoping this doesn’t come at the cost of UX.

8 months and the Docs Site still doesn’t have the proper functionalities for it to properly replace its DevHub counterpart.

Problems it has had for the last year:

  1. A Comically Oversized UI

  2. Useless Buttons (Apparently this is supposed to expand something but doesn’t work)

  3. Completely unsorted Classes and Datatypes

  4. Ludicrously high memory usage (Can’t even open the page on my phone)
    Memory

  5. Did I mention there’s no light mode?

In all, 8 months of feedback and little to no change up to its release is extremely worrying. To think of it, that’s usually the story for a lot of Roblox updates these days.

It seems many things on the old documentation website aren’t on the new one such as this tutorial: Building a Basic Car

I don’t know all things that have been left behind or if this problem extends to the other transfers like the marketplace. Are somethings planned to be left behind?


Additionally, will we have categories on the forum to request features for each website? We have a talent hub category, but where should I go for requesting or reporting bugs regarding the creator dashboard or the marketplace?

Should they go here? (Website Features - DevForum | Roblox)

Edit: could right-to-erasure requests be moved to the creator page?


The new site and unification of developer tools is a good idea, but the new UI is still lacking. One of my biggest complaints the lack of a light mode on the docs and dashboard. There are quite a few other UI issues that others have brought up as well. Overall, good change, as long as Roblox commits to continually improving the site.

P.S: the talent hub portion needs a lot of work.

Not a fan over the domain changes.

I feel like the forum should stay at it’s current spot, and create.roblox.com/talent is a bit more annoying to type out than talent.roblox.com

Talent hub still needs a ton of work anyways, and the creations page isn’t perfect.

alternative title: changing the forum’s url in order to avoid paying $5 a year. Made a worse experience to save what? Like 5 bucks a year? You’re a multi billion cooperation and can’t pay $5 a year on a domain?

Pleeassseee do this Roblox. I’m so tired of being flashbanged by the old page. I don’t see why the old page shouldn’t be redirected to the new one.

What? Why is changing the domain bad?

While I’m all for having everything in one place, I’d much prefer we fully test this one stop solution on all devices, as currently mobile usage of these listed sites (with the exception of the DevForum) is a mess.

Currently, everything from Documentation to the Talent Hub is very hard to use on mobile devices. Sometimes to the point where we can’t access certain sections on mobile. For creators like myself who must have access to these sites constantly for communication, switching from mobile view to desktop view is not intuitive.

Here are just a few examples of what I’ve experienced on a daily basis:



I love the idea of having everything in one place, I’d just prefer that the one place be heavily tested on all devices before rolling them out as our only option.

I’m pretty sure it is sorted
Same order as the old documentation
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/data-types

My bad, I didn’t mean to say Datatypes

I was referring to the user-friendly sorting UI for Classes both for grouped and tree diagrams.

Subdomains are free from post providers actually, so it’s not money. More likely it takes more resources to manage a troubleshoot a subdomain

I think this is a good change because now everything we need is just in one spot. I also think this will be good for new developers so they don’t have to try to find all the links when there all on the New “Creator Hub”.

How will the topbar function on the DevForum? Will the DevForum functionality still be there?

Only the DevForum’s URL will change? Btw I think devforum.roblox.com is the best URL for the DevForum.

I hope not. I personally prefer the old Develop page since that is all that I have known since I first started developing.
