I think the old forums look far better.
1> that graphic in the background is too much and a step in wrong direction. It feels like i'm loading a 100mb bitmap. I shouldn't be worried about graphics issues when loading message forums.
2> The column widths are much smaller than the current, making it hard to read.
I do intend do give credit where credit is due and mean no disrespect but what's wrong with the current layout?
You're making a lot of changes to things that are working fine in my opinion. Are you alienating your players? |

considering how much of a pain the new one was before they made changes its good to see CCP atleast take it offline and use the old forums while they changed it to something that is more usable.

The new forums are dull to look at, and yes, hard to read.
I would have preferred a duplication of the current forum with the new feature/improvements added in.
Cosmetically speaking I don't find the current forum an issue, but things do look depressing and sterile in the new ones.
One other thing I noticed is that it runs much slower than the current forum...and that is with just a few people logged in.

I haven't checked, but adblock (or any ad blocker) might be able to help with that.
EDIT: I just checked, it worked a treat.

Maybe CCP will charge the authors of adblocking software $99 a year for improving the new forums with 3rd party apps. (I also banished the pegi rating info... )

Im with you.
The only problem with the old forums is the silly "New Topic" button inside threads. Its very silly but only a small problem.

Nope. They're horrible.

Wait until a Stylish browser extension becomes available. Save your energy, it's pointless giving feedback to CCP on the new forum designs.

Stop failing then. CTRL+scrollwheel. Granted it disrupts the design somewhat, but you actually *can* change text size/area.

CCP says "stop helping me".
P.S. If you are sitting on the side of the road waiting for something with no intention to cross, I forcefully drag you to the other side of the road, should you be appreciative of the fact I helped you cross ? _

Not even seen the new forums, not in any hurry to either as I don't actually see anything wrong with the old ones.

You missed the bazillion page threadnaught the first time CCP attempted to go live with the new failforums.

Edited by: Syphon Lodian on 17/06/2011 12:15:08 I don't get the drastic change.
They should have kept these forums, and added more functionality.
I simply do not understand the layout. It seems like everyone, everywhere, is trying to conform to this narrow-width "contemporary" layout, and I think it sucks. It reminds me of Kotaku's abhorrent layout change. No personality, no flair, no artistic merit or originality. Really, Kotaku gutted themselves on that one. Their layout was almost perfect, and easily recognizable. Now it's disgustingly bad, and minimal.
There is nothing inherently wrong with it, but it's definitely too 'narrow'.
I remember CCP was hyping the new forums around the same time they were thinking about changing the UI layout in EVE, and I remember the new UI proposed was bad also. It literally looked like your standard Windows workstation layout.

I, too, can post a topic containing my opinion on a contentious issue in a poorly disguised attempt to entice a lot of people to post in said topic, thus increasing my e-peen.

They're fairly ok now that I have tweaked my custom js and css to make it look and function (somewhat) properly.
However, it is still as slow, bloated and cumbersome as ever. Information that should be immediately available is buried five clicks away. Viewing options are non-existent or not working. Links to relevant pages are nowhere to be found. Posting functionality has been drastically reduced. Accessibility is non-existent due an overuse of javascript and standard browser behaviours are broken for the same reason.
None of that can be fixed through local injection, and therefore, the new forums are still not ready for prime-time. 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 |

I know this is slightly off topic, but have you noticed the new Eve account management pages, seems to me they're altering things as to appeal more to the younger players.
