Old forums.
The new ones did have some features I like having, but too many flaws make those features useless.

OLD is bestest. I can see up to seven posts at a time on my screen in the old forums, about three on the new, 'cos all the column inches are taken up with oversized portraits.
I don't want to go 'ooooh' to everyones portraits. I wanna read the posts.

I'm not against the idea of a new design, but I have to admit that the "new" forum was really ugly and not user-friendly at all.

This isn't really very simple thing to answer, but I try...
If question is simply new or old, the answer is old. However the new forum had some nice features like favorites and search. It also has plenty of useless java and visual problems and lacked the sidebar we have here.
If the new forum would keep all the content of old forum, have same font, colors avatarsizes and sidebar, without fixed width, without background picture and without the useless java parts, I would go with the new forums.
Personally I would ditch also the evegate project and link the few useful features it has to account management or left sidebar. These include skill training page (if u could actually modify them) in game mail and voice link. Bio and big avatar could still be linked from forum avatar. Remaining stuff could go to bin. Yes and I know that changes for this happening are from slim to none.
Anyways... after saying all of this... comes the meaningful part...
All the above stuff takes lots of coding and lots of hours to get implemented. The real guestion we needed to ask was "Do you want new forum, eve gate or game improvements?". Now that would be much easier to answer. Couple good examples... here and here.
So... my real answer to the OP's question is: old forums and better game, thank you :) ------------------------------------------------- Play with the best - die like the rest starwreck.com - support the cause :) |

tbh the calendar feature on eve-gate is quite good too. ---

The old one hands down! The new one make my eyes bleed. They can go pod the new forum one for all I care.

The new forum gets my vote. But I do agree that it needs a ton of work done to make it as promising as it seems. I'd say right now they were only about 65% finished, the rest needed major work. But I love the EveGate integration and many of the new features (not to mention the new look!). CCP, I hope you take the time to get it right before you open them up again!!

For you (and probably a very large number of people), it might be just a forum. For some others (me included), it's an important or even the larger part of the actual game. Also, right back at you, "who cares, it's just a game".

Oh come on. These forums are only worth browsing through eve-search and only worth logging on to in order to post. And you say the new ones have functionality issues (besides the obvious one of...er...not existing)?
As far as complaining about images, I'd wager most never saw images to begin with because they couldn't be arsed to re-enable them every damn time they logged in.

...pathetic, much?
And yes, it's just a game. If the eve servers suddenly died tomorrow and were unrecoverable, I would be one of the few survivors out of the (mostly pathetic) player base of this game since I wouldn't have a heart attack from shock over loss of my character and Eve...

in with the old, out with the new. I think the general concensus is the new ones are pretty awful.
At least with the old one I didn`t have to strain my ageing eyes to read it and we`re not confronted by a miniature reading pane.
So. Old ftw.

Originally by: Axon Atom please name one thing the old forums have that was better Functionality wise.
How about five?- Proper link behaviour and accessibility.
- A wider range of markup.
- More settings.
- Direct access to EVE content.
- Contextual coherence.
The problem with the new forums is that they were trying to look "modern" by applying scripted effects to everything. The problem is that scripted effects on everything creates exactly one thing: a UI nightmare, and unless it is done very carefully (i.e. not in this case) it will actually break more things than it fixes.
àin fact: 6.ááGraceful degradation and fallback depending on the user's capabilities. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

So, you basically have no stake in EVE, you just like to be an ass to people that care ? _

I hope CCP doesn't take you ****ing little suckholes seriously there are some of us here that welcome change and are looking forward to, and appreciate all the new content. If your not happy with the direction CCP is taking then simply leave! Your just a cancer in these forums anyway.

Dear CCP,
I absolutely prefer the new ones, but we need also history clipboard there, because I really hate that if I am posting here and want go step backword when I misspelled a word or posting the post after a while afk. Also that here is no function to favorite a thread is really poor.

I actually like them, aesthetically and functionally, but they need some work (and good QA).
