When I posted a message in this forum, I was shown an error page ("we got ganked") ... but the post did actually go through.
EDIT: I got no error when submitting this post - but it was VERY slow. Took 30-60 seconds! And clicking the EDIT button also was very slow. |

The amount of forum settings is very limited.
Where is something like getting to select date and time format? I have no problem with the current format, but some prefer the mangled USA style. Another example could be addition of which weekday is is. Generally an option to pick a date format string of your own.
Selecting timezone (if you dont want UTC/evetime)
Where is the Block Images and other non-text content?
Where is the Don't show signatures? The "Signatures - show [ ]" seems not to apply to other peoples signatures, only your own, i.e whether to include yours in your post.
Where is the base fontsize option? (oh happy firefox: zooming with CTRL+mousewheel, optionally with 'zoom text only' checked) Really not a good situation we are in. Unzoomed, the text below this editing box, which displays "last 10 posts", is using a font where the capital letters are slightly less than 3mm tall. Counting pixels, a H in that window is 8 pixels high... The text in this window is not much better unzoomed. You can get away with that on a typewriter, but not on a computerdisplay at a reasonable distance from the screen.
Where are the avatar options? Large, small, OFF!
Why must it be impossible to use the forum without javascript enabled? You can read it, but not post, the reply/post buttons dont even show up if you dont have it on. Old forum delivered, if you could live without the style and smiley buttons working, this does not.
Why a bunch of other stuff, that is going to get a bit of time to prove itself.

img tags for posts and signatures need to be top priority.
Ideally some way of widening the default forum width as well.
all a bit of a shock to the system moving to a new forum and losing some important functionality.

Does the forum have to be fixed to 1/2 my screen width? I really hate it when sites do that. |

Don't know why I'm bothering posting here since CCP has ignored almost every last bit of feedback on these forums during the 2 phases of testing. -However, clicking a thread title while not logged in takes you to the last page of the thread, regardless of whether or not you've read it. -giant tooltips on threads and subforums obscure the thread beyond them making it a pain in the ass to click anything. -godawful waste of of vertical space means more scrolling with an already beat up mousewheel. -there is much more I could ***** about but since every other customer complaint and suggestion has been summarily ignored, who cares? You're gonna do what you're gonna do regardless of how bad your players hate this piece of crap software. |

Well one way to get rid of one's customer patch outrage is to bury the old forums. New forum's? Just more Marketing window dressing. Yet another diversion of resources from fixing what pays the bills. |

No, they said in the test rounds that this is as they want it.

Where is the list of complains with 100+ items from the first "feedback" thread? This devblog is obvious copypaste from "test forum second version change notes". In two months NOTHING have changed. Only 10 major flaws was fixed. Why you need to write new forums from scratch if they are so primitive and their security is questionable? Where is the IGNORE button which is a basic one even for student written boards? Why we should post our feedbacks or test this forums if you even don`t react on feedback? You just ignored our feedback so the curses and torches are deserved
I appreciate all the work you guys done, but this is not the forum i like to see in the 2011. You can`t just turn the crap into a candy wrapping it in glossy paper, and then say to people "Eat it". Or can you? |

Yes, they can. You won't quit over it anyway. And even if you do, the next generation of players will grow up with the new forums anyway. As for the rest, yes that is a disappointment, but one can always light a candle for CCP's web cell understanding the difference between presentation design and usage design, at minimum for simple operational and commercial considerations (as more and more the EVE forum activity has been going down, with activity shifting to seperate online communities and independant media). After all, it is an element of the virtual world which exists for the customers, and not for the validation of "look I made an awesome design that looks good, what does it matter how it is used - by extension the bane of EVE's gameplay continuity).
So, iteration once again becomes a topic. But without much hope, as indeed virtually all the acknowledged feedback, was discarded. Interestingly, not just the technical angles, but primarily those design elements where people provided feedback on the basis of their daily use of the forums - and not how it looked as a picture.

What's up with the massive gaps to the left and right? The forums are taking up what 20% or 30% of the screen? See screenshot http://img685.imageshack.us/f/fourms.jpg/ it looks terrible. Apart from that everything else is great. |

That's called an awesome design, for making the presentation look good. This is not about actual use of forums. Similarly, it's a bit silly now that the forums are here in EVE Gate, but the actual site with commonly used things like Customer Support, Account Management and such are now fully seperate.

Don't give them ideas or web programmers might actually decide to re-make those parts next... it's not like they have anything else to do - new forums and failbook are perfect |

think it takes you by default to the last unread post in a thread.

I cant stand the new design. I browse the forums for information, not to see someones avatar, not to see loads of real estate that has pretty pictures of eve space in them. I agree their is a need for progress, but surely you arent telling me this is the best that you could do? |

The report post confirmation popup has the OK and Cancel buttons swapped around so by default you are likely to click Cancel instead of Ok. Consistency with the rest of the world is a good thing. |

The RSS feeds are giving links to https://forums.eveonline.com:447/ when I add them as a gadget to iGoogle, which does not work for me. (at least change the number to 443 from 447 or make the webserver listen to that port)

The forum (and EveGate in general) is alive much the same way a brain dead patient in a vegetative state is alive. It's there, it works, but don't expect much action.
Performance on both Gate and the Forums is painfully slow. I put up with EveGate because it's a convenient way of accessing my mail when not at my home computer. However, I tend to avoid using it because it's so damn slow to load up anything. The old forums performed remarkably well considering the quantity of data it served up. This one is painful to use.
Please, work on either server performance or untangling the spaghetti code. There's no reason any modern piece of forum software, whether built in-house or purchased, should run this slow. |

Looking good, nice, crisp, good spacing. As a web developer I like (I'm sure i'll get flamed for that). Few bugs to iron out, but isnt there allways!
Edit: I've seen some peeps complaining of speed issues, they seem faster to me. |
