There are times when a week or two passes between Dev Blogs and there are times when we post two Blogs in one day. The moderation team and I like to keep Blog and News announcements stickied for two or three days before taking the sticky off. We also try to keep the number of stickies to five or less for each forum so the first page isn't cluttered. Occassionally, there are posts like the FanFest and Store order processing, that need to hang around for a while.
Then there are times like the past eight days. Five Dev Blogs and five new News items hit the EVE Insider page and to post stickies for all of them would push other threads down even further.
What does this mean? For the interim, the displayed posts per page has been increased from twenty to thirty. This will allow us to add an extra sticky or two to the top of the forums without pushing other posts to page two and beyond. In the future, there will be other forum changes made that will make your forum experience more enjoyable.
I will also be consolidating some of the Blogs and News Items into a smaller number of posts for the next few days.

To Balance things out why not allow us to make longer topics?
Faulty testing kept me from delivering the "Logic Editor" earlier.
I was using my own post and it kept blanking everything out.

That's one of the things planned for future coding. We're looking at ways to make an 'Announcement' forum that is 'read/reply only' for players, but 'read/reply/new post' for the Devs, GMs and ISD staff. Increasing the posts per page by 10 is an interim step. We will most likely retain the 30 posts/page after the coding is complete.

30 threads a page is good dont change back :). And an announcement forum wouldnt really work, its like when you visit a forum and theres the "Sticky: Read First!", you ever heard of someone reading it? Keep them in General i say or they wont be read.

But, as you mention yourself, even in General they don't get read. At least by ignoring a post that's in its own Devblog section, I can see more of what's being posted by the players. If I ignore the sticky threads in here, they still take up half the first page

as we're talking forum features i'd like to make a request
could the forum be changed to put a seperator before people's signatures? on some occasions it's difficult to tell when post ends and sig begins |

It sounds like this is a change that will be changed back from what you are saying.
Personally I'd like more posts to show up. Perhaps it could be made into a selectable feature under the settings? I'd loved to see the options to have 20, 30, 40 or even 50 threads show up. |

From the feedback that's been received so far, it looks like the posts per page count is going to stay at 30. As for adding a user selected default posts displayed, forum search feature, and other goodies, the forum software is in need of replacement. The current version is not as robust as we had hoped.

Good news on the replacement for the forum software , any idea when this might occour ?
On a seperator for the sigs - perhaps a dotted line above showing the users psots and below showing whatever signature they have.

Because as they said just a few posts ago, that they are going to be chaning the forum software anyway, so there isn't a lot of point really is there..

Is your ISD corp part of the game?
And if it is can we the players join it and rob it?
