Well said.
Here's one more suggestion, There's a lot of space between the 'timeago' and 'number of likes' fields so how about putting them both there.
Mind you if CCP really is going away from the fixed width forums this might not be possible. Then I (again) suggest giving the players the ability the make the choice between time formats.

Wow.
You lot really are full of yourselves, aren't you? In what game have you EVER had input on the timestamps on the game forums? Why would you think CCP had to check with you before they changed the way they worked?

CCP, the timeago stamps are fine. The very small percentage of people who don't like it will learn to adjust. |

Because they are already putting both there. Showing them side by side at the same time would look too cluttered, not to mention your experience of "there's a lot of space" doesn't necessarily hold up for people using different window resolutions and text scaling.
You already have what you want, you're just asking for it to be made so you don't have to move your mouse to see it. That's pretty lazy.

Small suggestion / complaint
In the old notifications window clicking someone's name took you to their eve gate page. Now it just routes to the post. So when I see "XXXX liked your post", I usually think, "Great! ....who is XXXX?" Would like to see something similar to the old system where you can click their name OR click the post instead of just the latter.
Apologies if already addressed in the thread. (TLDR!)

Some 'cosmetic' things:
- in the top bar the notifications like "you have a message" or "someone liked your post" and "someone post in your thread" used to be in the "forum orange" until you hover over the bar or click
- the bar uses a very "dark grey" #0d0d0d I believe it is. Please use #FFFFFF or commenly know as white or a "brighter grey" intstead
- the "up there" arrow used to be on the left
- the forum threads you were clicking on used to get marked as "read" (the orange star indicating that some posted disappeared) opening them in a new tab

Can we please have long names of threads, if you are not online for 2 days or more, you have a lot of double threads, the only way to find out atm is to open all unread threads and close doubles. Wouldn't it be nice that you see the whole topic so you wouldn't have to open the doubles anyway ;)? |

Your reply should actually be reported for flaming with intent to incite rage - as per forum rules.
Seems to me you haven't been playing this game very long. CCP use to consult with the playerbase before making changes, very much so until Incarna which caused the Summer Of Rage. Since then CCP has just gotten more and more distant from the core aspect of this game, making changes because it sounded good then later having to revert it because in actuality it wasn't good at all.
Anyway, in case you don't know this, most players in this game want specific details, not generalized info that's easily misinterpreted by everyone.
Main problem with the timestamp is it's been dumbed down and presented as basic generalized info, it's insulting and demeaning towards the community's intellect. In real life when someone asks the question 'when', they expect an explicit answer, not a generalization.
But if you really need a reason why it should be changed back, having to hover the mouse over the Timeago stamp to view the actual date and time prohibits the ability to copy and paste that info when needed. Not to mention CCP having to write and install extra code in order for players to view the actual time and date is just another example of incompetent programing that's been turning this game into a memory hog, constantly eating more and more Hard Drive space with each little patch that's being done every couple of days.
I'm sorry but this isn't 'Hello Kitty'. This is Eve Online, a futuristic science fiction space game about spaceships, computers, clones, etc. If people can't handle an exact display of time listed in these forums because it requires a little bit of brain work, then they definitely won't be able to handle this game.

Have you made the signature character limit smaller? My signature used to fit with the linking code, now when I try to link to my public roams forum in my signature, it does this weird footnotey thing [1], places the link below the signature, and removes the descriptive text for the link because I've run out of characters. Pretty certain we used to be limited to 500 characters in our signature, now it seems like it's limited to 250. My signature is 245 characters (if I remember right), but with the weird linking code, it exceeds it.
Any chance you can up the character limit for signatures, and/or not count formatting/linking code in the limit?
Thanks in advance!

GG The character limit was decreased by half, as the Markdown code takes significantly less characters for styling than BBCode, or 4 characters instead of 12 to form a link. If the markdown helper is taking up too many characters for your taste, please try the following format.

So? why reduce it? I assume people had 250 char signatures that didnt contained any url's, so now they will get truncated?

Forum profiles are now available on SISI. Profiles show character's date of birth, last 20 posts, etc.
Feel free to try out on SISI: https://forums.testeveonline.com/ Here's my profile: https://forums.testeveonline.com/profile/ccp%20rarara
We also removed timeago on posts, however timeago is now shown when hovering the mouse over timestamps.
This will be deployed tomorrow if everything goes as planned.

The problem I was having getting my existing signature (which was under 250 characters) to fit was caused by how the new system counts characters. Since you now have to use two returns for a line break, that was adding four characters, plus something else weird going on that I've not figured out yet with how it counts characters.
I got it to link by doing a bit of rewording.
250 characters including counting for formatting/linking/etc code, line breaks, etc., is too small. While I totally understand not wanting huge signatures, the inability for existing signatures to fit without hassle is somewhat irritating.
I do hope you consider raising the limit back up, if not to 500, at least to 350.
Just my two bytes, thanks for all that you do!

interesting thing about the date of birth, it brings some value back to 2003 characters who failed to join NPC corps.
(there's debate when those characters are sold, regarding their value, as their employment history shows nothing)

This is a bit outside of the box, but you're reducing the usefulness of the forums as an intel tool (by removing employment history). again, outside of the box, but a move the other way would include bounties or war dec functionality in the forum interface. The notifications are simplified a bit much, imo, but I feel you. The new interface is easier to grope with a smartphone touch screen, and that's just getting with the times. [totally neutral comment, but this burden is shifted to evewho.com/pilot/CCP_Rarara and logging in to the client.]
totally should add a tweet button esp. for dev posts. but also for general spammery because exposure
Hi,
I believe you're mixing up EVE Gate profiles and EVE Forum profiles. The EVE Gate profile still shows employment history while the EVE Forum profile shows more forum related information. Previously you were always taken straight to the EVE Gate profile.
I'll see if we can do something about notifications for phase 2.

In the old system all I had to do was click my profile link at the top of the page. Now I can't find it anywhere (except via your link). It certainly doesn't appear on my Evegate profile page.
I have been using the Gallente background, like Salpun, and, just like Salpun, it has switched back to default at some point during the past 18 hours (without any action by me). It has always behaved like this since I first started using the forums. |

Only if you specify which forums you wish to receive Dev posts from, regrettably there are no exclusion rules for this search.

They have at no point been moved from your EVE Gate profile settings. What you're experiencing however is that we've decoupled the forums mostly from EVE Gate with the only setting remaining there, that can affect the forums, is the custom background.
Current route to change background: 1. a) Hover over EVE Universe b) Visit your or any forum profile 2. a) Click on EVE Gate b) Click on "View EVE Gate Profile" 3. Hover over your character name ( EVE Gate header ) 4. Click on Profile Settings 5. Click on Personalize 6. Choose a background 7. Save settings

That isn't quite how I remember it, and considering I've been doing it on an almost weekly basis I'm sure my memory isn't faulty.
Anyways - setting it is one thing, keeping it is another thing entirely. Could you please fix it so that the background persists until any future adjustment?
P.S.
And as mentioned above, please put back the Dev Blog link. |
