Given the advanced (relative to these forums) state of forum board software these days, why is it we are using this archaic board? The EvE-Forums downright suck in terms of functionality and user-friendliness. Are they just 5 years behind the rest of the world in Iceland? Or what? What keeps CCP from upgrading the basic software infrastructure? Its bad enough that we have to have a separate, user-created site just to have a search function..

Of course would be nice to get an upgrade but we have to keep in mind how advanced in years this great game has become.
These forums have within them all entries and information for 7 or 8 years and that is a wealth of information we don't want to lose.

There is this handy command in all windows operating systems called "Copy + Paste". A simple keystroke will duplicate information and data and place it in a new location.
As for EvE Gate, well, some things just can't come fast enough :)

The 'Forum' link on EVE Gate leads to this forum. Given CCP's past performance on these types of issues we may not see the promised new forum for 5 to 10 years after EVE Gate goes live. ...

THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WANTED TO HEAR!!!!
Seriously, when will you fix these forums? I know many forums with sub 200 users that are handled better than this peice of crap you call forums.

Seriously they worked pretty well I thought but having to enter your username and password every time you want to log in is really annoying, especially since you guys can't let me just stay logged in.

Are ccp adverse to FOSS? I think they are lol, as many decent forums softwares out there are sufficient, and would be easily modded to hook into the various fields they need to access.
I think CCP likes to do everything themselves. Be it good, bad, or take over seven years, they just want to do it all themselves regardless of the perceived impacts positive or negative. I'm not aware of them using anything GNU/CC, but I haven't looked that hard either. They are likely afraid that once they open the door to foss and open licencing, that it would open the floodgates and they would lose value in their product. lol

The game client is written mostly in Python as are many, many server-side items.

Problems: 1) Overall look of the forums. Its clunky and reminiscent of when computers first got graphics cards. This is probably because they are from what, early 2000? 2) Account log out timer. Its way too fast. An hour is understandable, but 10 minutes? Or whatever short amount of time it is now? I shouldn't have to log in several times just because I was inactive while reading a thread. 3) Post functionality is extremely limited. Sign up for any other forum and you have a plethora of new functions and coding options for your posts to seriously personalize them. This neo-utilitarian style is very businesslike, but very unfriendly. 4) Post timer. 5 minutes? Really? What conversation, aside from talking to someone on Mars, has to have 5 minutes in between responses? This, timed with the account timeout, can cause unnecessary frustration. 5) No search function. Need I say more?
Feel free to add more.
p.s. The argument here isn't style over substance. The forum has plenty of substance. Now it needs some style to match.

1) Yes 2) God I hate it... 3) There is a lot of post coding, you just have to do it yourself, although you shouldn't have to memorize the bracket codes... 4) They did that after they banhammer's all the Macrominers, who spammed the forums all to hell. You can get around it by logging out and back in... But, it should be shortened to at most 30 seconds... 5) There is a search function... Upper right corner. It's just laughably terrible, and sucks so much balls it's scary.
Anyways... WE NEED NEW FORUMS!!! Or at least something easier to deal with... I do, however like the gunmetal gray look... ===

Aside from the timers and the ability to hide signatures I like the forums the way they are. -
Did this sig become irrelevant while I was gone? Let me know! |

4: Then make it 15 or 30 seconds. 5 minutes is practically an eternity these days. 5: Right, yeah, its so insignificant I forgot it existed =P
6: Personal color schemes, anyone?

I'm sure CCP could upgrade the forum all they like.
But they can't upgrade the quality of the threads started and the posting in general, so why bother?
The only thing this forum really needs is a block function.

I wouldnt mind a new forums, but all the new web stuff CCP has been doing involves a lot of flash and images, how am i supposed to post a rant from my mobile if i cant load the page
I would be happy if they just upgraded these forums, and there are alot of relatively simple things they could do to make the forums more user-friendly Support chat filters in eve |
