ergherhdfgh Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 202	Posted - 2014.10.10 06:11:00 - [61] - Quote when you guys redesigned the eve website a few years back imho you took something totally functioning and working perfectly and easy to navigate and fuxored it all to hell. I have no faith that this will be any different.
Lurking one AirGuard LowSechnaya Sholupen 6	Posted - 2014.10.10 07:34:00 - [62] - Quote There will never be * An [IMG] tag - no pics here * Good karma system - current "likes only" system is pretty false and deceiving - anyone can get any number of likes for his main with his twinks (any alt will make this twice efficient) * Any polls - we'll have to use likes as before * Just a single "reply" button - instead of "post' button for a quick reply AND "reply" button right beside it, which opens a text editor * The annoying warning of leaving eve-forums will not be removed * Lettercount cap removed Also, when I want to answer a person, I do not want to quote all his quotes, and the quotes that were quoted in those quotes (also, when we remember that this counts against our lettercap - the things are turning really grim). These cascade quotes are bad, and if I clean them manually, there will likely be a broken tag, so the post becomes totally illegible.
Zappity SUPREME MATHEMATICS A Band Apart. 1436	Posted - 2014.10.10 07:42:00 - [63] - Quote Oh, please add the ability to place a bounty on someone! And then fix bounties so they matter. Zappity's Adventures for a taste of lowsec.

Embedded Images and videos with a button to show/hide 5. Just click a link and it opens without that warning. Can't stop promoting it. EVE Infolinks -+-áOld and new-áPortraits
Antihrist Pripravnik T-AFK and counting 755	Posted - 2014.10.10 10:08:00 - [65] - Quote As a web developer I support this product and/or service o.0
Kruk Rollard Aliastra Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2014.10.10 10:32:00 - [66] - Quote Hmmm...how about sorting results by date and whether its CCP member post? If the forums continue to be the primary source of EVE documentation, this is essential to effective use of time. As is its hard to find the MOST Current info on any topic given the 10+ years of forum data (not all online but way too much). And random user comments (especially off topic comments) can bury relevant data. --- what would be even more valuable (but possibly impractical to implement) is a historical list of CCP topic authorities to automatically be applied to results. (e.g. topic Missiles: CCP NewAuthority 6June2014-14:32:32 to current CCP Fozzie 5November2011-00:01:01 to 6June2014-14:32:31 etc Then when users search for rules on missiles resulting posts could limited to the most authoritative or at least those authorities highlighted over CCP posts where non-authorities on missiles may be commenting primarily on some other rule change and only using missiles in an example and perhaps not 100% correctly.)
Hel O'Ween Men On A Mission 96	Posted - 2014.10.10 10:32:00 - [67] - Quote Hel O'Ween wrote: While you're at it, could you also have a look at the annyoning "no HTML allow" for stuff within [ code ] tags? This is a real PITA when posting XML related stuff in the Tech Lab forum. kthxbye Derp ... scratch that, the forum doesn't even support [ code ] tags. But would be cool to have those to solve the above. EVEWalletAware - an offline wallet manager.
Kruk Rollard Aliastra Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2014.10.10 10:41:00 - [68] - Quote Zappity wrote: Oh, please add the ability to place a bounty on someone! And then fix bounties so they matter. Seems off topic. Though I agree bounties and kill rights are pretty meaningless for players only flying ships in high sec costing less than 20M-50M -- no matter how many Billions in damage they cause. LOL - but seriously you might as well complain that EVE doesn't treat habitual criminals differently than single or low count rage violators. That penalties do not get more severe with number of illegal pod/ship kills (longer timers or steep cost to buy off security status).
HuGo87 Perimeter Defense Systems Templis CALSF 10	Posted - 2014.10.10 11:04:00 - [69] - Quote Why not use CommonMark, instead of simply Markdown for the signature editor (and maybe, optionally, for posts too!). It's basically a standardized version of Markdown, you should definitely look into it.
Kruk Rollard Aliastra Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2014.10.10 11:05:00 - [70] - Quote How fixing forum penalty for NEW accounts? This character is about 18 months old. But since I haven't posted much I am restricted by "less than 2 days old". Actually I am pretty sure I posted to forum for newbie and client help before using this toon. So there is just something broken here. Why not just use API to pull account age? Or character age if that is not possible. If needed you could cache that on Logon or forum server for when forums are up but Tranquility and main DB servers are down. Update cached answer at first Forum login if API is up and use cache answer for all checks afterwards.

Dominique Vasilkovsky BFG Tech 23	Posted - 2014.10.10 12:22:00 - [71] - Quote So no chance of getting pictures back in the forum signatures then? From Russia with love.
War Kitten Panda McLegion 5372	Posted - 2014.10.10 12:57:00 - [72] - Quote This thread needs more people whining about CCP not fixing their broken game or the lag or something. What's happened to all the bad forum trolls? In seriousness though, these changes sound cool. I'll all for a forum buff. I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all.

Marian Devers Rage and Terror Against ALL Authorities 57	Posted - 2014.10.10 16:07:00 - [76] - Quote Add a "Dislike" button. Especially for opening posts from CCP.

Rivr Luzade Coreli Corporation Ineluctable. 788	Posted - 2014.10.10 16:25:00 - [78] - Quote When comes the fix to the search function ... ie. when do we get a search function for the forum at all?
Zimmy Zeta Lisa Needs Braces. 48119	Posted - 2014.10.10 16:50:00 - [79] - Quote While we're at, it, besides the "dislike" and "place bounty" button, it would be pretty awesome to have the "character notes" tab from ingame on the forums, too. So with simple copy/paste you could add any poster's obnoxious posts to the notes and when you meet him ingame, you'd quickly know why this name sounds so awfully familiar and why you felt that uncontrollable urge to blow up his internet spaceship. I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.
DaReaper Net 7 The Last Brigade 1079	Posted - 2014.10.10 17:14:00 - [80] - Quote Milla Goodpussy wrote: wow this upcoming expansion is going to be awesome!.. forum fixes.. wow ccp you guys really put in a lot of work besides content patches you're fixing forums. I assumed the post was regarding new code of conduct rules but hey that's just me. this forum patch will keep me playing for-ever despite the cruel rude trolling that runs rampant on it. thanks a lot ccp you took my suggestions seriously and avoided fixing the real problem... good day to you sir! not sure if trolling/sarcastic, but I assume it is... so i'll respond with... I do not think we want website developers, which are not the same as game developers, anywhere near the game. The forums are a part of stuff that needs to be fixed. They can't make changes to the game, so they do there job and fix the forums/website. So.. yea. I find this stuff funny... "why are you wasting time fixing this when you need to fix this ccp!" its like people think if you say "I work in the art department" or "I work in the web development department" that it measn they can program in whatever language the game is made in, so they should be doing that and if they are not its a waste of time and money. That's the same thing as saying "Oh, you are a jet mechanic? Can you fix my car?" odds are no, no they can't. or "Oh your are chemical engineer? well I have this electrical issue I need an engineer for, can you fix it?" Again, no, no they can't. OMG Comet Mining idea!!! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=331766

Mara Pahrdi The Order of Anoyia 828	Posted - 2014.10.10 17:57:00 - [81] - Quote Links to GM, ISD and CSM posts? That's good news. Remove insurance.

Steppa Musana Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 206	Posted - 2014.10.11 00:05:00 - [85] - Quote There is one issue with signatures that does not seem addressed. The 120 character limit right now applies to the URL placed within URL tags. For instance, if I use a URL that is 40 characters long, but the link itself displays as "Changes to HACs", this will count as 40 characters, not 15. I could be wrong on this; it might be the tags themselves that count as the extra characters. Either way, that example does count as more than 15 characters. Please do adjust this so the displayed amount of characters are limited to 120 or whichever limit you decide is correct. Thanks! Hey guys.
Rosvenir Dro'Allen Novus Nebulae Inceptum Into The Nebula Alliance 1	Posted - 2014.10.11 16:48:00 - [86] - Quote Please make it support tapatalk. That would improve mobile use even more

Unezka Turigahl Det Som Engang Var 329	Posted - 2014.10.13 12:29:00 - [88] - Quote Will the new forums fix the bug where random people have random standings assigned to them here? Sometimes posters that I like have negative standings, even though I've never added them in game. And then sometimes posters that annoy me are set to blue!

CCP Avalon C C P C C P Alliance 1	Posted - 2014.10.13 13:22:00 - [89] - Quote Greetings guys and gals! Now I've gone over all the replies in this thread, and compiled a list of feature requests & issues that have been brought up; that will be presented to the rest of the team. Please understand that we may not be able to abide by every request for various reasons, however there have been some that have sparked our interest and have already received some discussion internally. That having been said, I would like to address a few of the questions that were not directly feature requests or issues. Megarom wrote: This is because the link-tag points to the thread in general and not to the right post. The correct link is there in the content, but the reader I'm using doesn't even show the content so my only option is to click something that takes me to the wrong place. I agree, the RSS feed should provide links in the same way as the forum view. I.e. when reading the search RSS the main link should be to the relevant post, not the original of the topic. Moraguth wrote: One question about that though, is there one button that takes you to the next "important" post, or is there a link for each type of "important person"? I'd much rather have 1 button that works for all of them at the same time (so i don't miss a CSM post in between GM posts for example). The badge links will at this time only bring you to the next post by a person with an identical badge in the thread. Links to the first of each badge may however be found at the top of any topic. See: Sable Moran wrote: This is what I want to know too. Are you or are you not getting rid of the god awful fixed width forums? While the fixed width won't disappear in phase one, it is something we want to get rid of. And we intend on making that happen in phase 2.

Although what we've been working with thus far relates in some ways to Bootstrap, it may be subject to change. CCP Avalon // Quality Assurance Analyst // Team Webster //-á@ccp_avalon

Yongtau Naskingar Yongtau Naskingar Corporation 73	Posted - 2014.10.13 13:58:00 - [90] - Quote Not sure if appropriate, but since the thread gets monitored... the old forums break external links because http://oldforums.eveonline.com/externalLink.aspx is now a 404. Makes it rather difficult to browse old content. Example thread with link Example link: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/externalLink.aspx?l=http%3A%2F%2Fdl%2Eeve%2Dfiles%2Ecom%2Fmedia%2Fcorp%2Fmorium%2Fcallforsupport%5Fh264%2Emkv Also, apparently the link above ^ can't fit in a url BBCode tag, I get a "There was an issue with parsing this post's BBCode" error.
