PC l0adletter	Posted - 2010.09.14 06:04:00 - [1] I'm not talking about the overall quality of the posting, I mean the forums themselves and the software that runs it. Why does it never remember whether or not I want to see signatures and images? Why does it never remember my default posting character? Why does that search box to the right suck so badly and search the entire website instead of the forums? Why do I have to go to eve-search.com to search these forums? Someone else has to build another website to search the forums? Why do they not have an automated dev finder? Instead, every week or so some intern posts the blue posts in their "dev finder" section with date/time stamps that reflect when the intern posts the link instead of when the dev actually made the post. Could no one at CCP think of a stupider way to aggregate blue posts? Let alone the inability to send private messages, or integrate with evegate/ingame mail. These forums basically appear to have come from some angelfire page circa 1997. Take your PHP twits away from spacebook and have them bring this **** into the current century, please.
Ogogov	Posted - 2010.09.14 13:49:00 - [2] Supported - this forum is horrible. And no, don't use the upgrade as an excuse to install something even more ridiculously annoying like captchas.
De'Veldrin CareBears on Fire The Obsidian Legion	Posted - 2010.09.14 13:54:00 - [3] Better solution: Quit writing your own forum software and customize one of the excellent ones freely available on the internet. Then you can focus on what you do best. Making kick ass games. --Vel
Bagehi Association of Commonwealth Enterprises R.A.G.E	Posted - 2010.09.14 15:45:00 - [4] You had me at search box. Does anyone even use that thing? This signature is useless, but it is red.
Ardamalis Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2010.09.14 17:10:00 - [5] Do it CCP. These forums need an upgrade.

CCP Navigator C C P C C P Alliance	Posted - 2010.09.14 17:26:00 - [6] New forums are actually in development. Unfortunately we have no fixed date as to when they will be deployed but they are coming and work is already under way. Navigator Senior Community Representative CCP Hf, EVE Online

Unfortunately we have no fixed date as to when they will be deployed but they are coming and work is already under way. Can we get a sneakpeak or do we have to wait till it gets implented?
wr3cks Reliables Inc Majesta Empire	Posted - 2010.09.14 22:47:00 - [8] Good to hear. While you're at it, it would probably enhance your social media strategy to make some sort of dynamic 'front page' to the forums. Show the most popular/talked-about threads in a particular forum within the past day/week/month/whatever, or the most supported items for the month in the AH. Maybe you could even let spacebook users specify which forums they were interested in, generate a dashboard, and let community reps or ISDs or CSMs or whatever have some ability to help push stories/threads into the 'breaking news' or 'hot item' or whatever areas. But, yeah. I'll settle for not having to go turn on images every time I want to see them, or having a search that actually works and doesn't require me to visit another website.
Sakaane Eionell Intaki Liberation Front	Posted - 2010.09.15 01:01:00 - [9] Supported. I hope CCP isn't trying to reinvent the wheel with the new forums in development... It takes about 10 minutes to install phpBB or similar software. The only hitch would be importing all the existing thread data, but I'm sure any one of the existing forum software developers out there would jump at the chance to assist in such an endeavor in exchange for the prestige of having their software used.

Arklan1 Dunedain Rangers	Posted - 2010.09.15 21:05:00 - [11] all i want is a notification of thread response. maybe i'm just blind, but i've never been able to find a way to actually follow a thread and be altered to new reponses. usually, on forums elsewhere, it's a simply checkbox that then triggers an emal when a new response is posted. why the heck don't we have that?! in other words - supported.

ChrisIsherwood	Posted - 2010.09.16 22:05:00 - [14] Edited by: ChrisIsherwood on 16/09/2010 22:06:00 Yes Please RSS Support Remembering my font size/"show images" choices should be a cookie; it should not require a login. Don't try to pretend it is 2005 and only support IE. For security I don't think you need to support IE6. But you need to at least support Firefox, Safari (Mac & iPhone/iTouch/iPad), and the IGB. (Hopefully IGB support will also mean Chrome and Android) That means no Flash or ActiveX of any kind. Maybe it is my suspicious and cynical nature, but I greatly fear a lolMSSQL of forums. Search Something better than just a few stickies and "I think there is a Wiki page on that" There are not that many suggestions that cover a lot of posts. Some way for all the "fix lag" and "HiSec insurance" and "tengu or CNR" posts to be agregated.. Keywords - not just for the above but for corp recruitment. Why should a hiSEC L4 in GMT-8 see recruitment for 0.0 all PVP in AUNZ TZ - and vice versa? A few keyword choices could let applicants and recruiters eliminatea large majority of the entries. ----- P.S. let me repeat non-IE support and RSS
Mara Rinn	Posted - 2010.09.17 00:59:00 - [15] RSS support and the ability to subscribe to threads would be wonderful. I would love to get rid of the left and right columns though, they really interfere with the presentation of the forums on a mobile device where screen real estate is a premium. -- [Aussie players: join ANZAC channel]

Turix Interstellar eXodus BricK sQuAD.	Posted - 2010.09.17 11:20:00 - [18] Edited by: Turix on 17/09/2010 11:21:09 Please please please Web 2.0! Otherwise the suggestion of taking an already existing (And thoroughly tested for that matter, as in it will work) piece of forum software and perform the necessary integrations. The essentials include: A working search system Private Messages And Profiles OR Eve Gate Integration (Why else do you expect us to use it?) The ability to jump to a specific (or next) Dev post in a topic - come on Wow had that years ago, we're better than them... right? Use Cookies and Sessions properly - I'm fed up of having to login, find the topic again, select the right character, enable my signature again every single time I want to post on the forums. For a list of ideas, just look at PhpBB, SMF, IPB, hell even VBulletin - they are all excellent pieces of software with plenty of support and a massive range of well design features! __________________________
Xearal SOL Industries Kamikaze Project	Posted - 2010.09.17 12:39:00 - [19] Things I'd like to see in the 'new' forums: 1) Integration with Eve Gate, allow for mailing people from the forum, or looking them up in Eve-gate. 2) Automagic login and remember I'm logged in 3) Better handling of large texts typed in this box, because right now, it's horrible with it's scrollbar pushing up my text all the time so I can't see what i'm typing when I'm making a long post. 4) better integration with Dev blog posts.
Seth Ruin Ominous Corp Circle-Of-Two	Posted - 2010.09.17 18:07:00 - [20] Originally by: CCP Navigator New forums are actually in development. Unfortunately we have no fixed date as to when they will be deployed but they are coming and work is already under way. In regards to not just this, but every other feature that we've been told is "in development" or "planned:" With all due respect, saying something is "in development" is like saying "the check is in the mail." It does us no good. How far in development is said feature? When could we reasonably expect to see results? This Winter? Next Summer? Two years from now? Six years? Will this feature actually see release, or will it get thrown into "The Backlog" (which, for all intents and purposes, should be called "The Feature Graveyard")?
