I quite like the new forums. They're not bad, just different. I'll miss the old forums but that's only nostalgia talking. Very sleek and modern looking forum, thanks CCP.
EDIT: Though I do agree some very minor tweaks and customization options would be nice. |

Yeah, there is quite a lot of scrolling now :( I don't mind a bit of space for aesthetic reasons, but it's a bit too much. It's going to make long technical posts a problem to read. Makes it harder to scan as well.
I believe all the space is to hide the fact that without the wide-open formatting the forums would actually look quite threadbare in design. There needs to be more.... stuff directly accessible from the forums, I think that's my biggest concern. Right now it looks way too "social media" for my taste (as if the term itself has any value but that's a whole other kettle of fish).
Can we edit the size of the avatars to cut back on the vertical space issues, especially with one-sentence posts? I'll have to look over the site a bit more. |

I'd just like to see the quotes of quotes of quotes of quotes begin collapsed and are expandable. If you're keeping up with a discussion you're not seeing everything repeated over and over. If you're new to the discussion and don't want to go from the beginning you can still see the context that people are talking in. |

Back on topic : It's not like we have not complained about most of these things for months. Yet somehow, the forums went live with everything ignored.
This , this and this. Two rounds of testing and feedback yet they still went live without taking into account much of that feedback. I would say none, but that would be inaccurate.
I like my textbox to be variable to the size of my window. I like to have more control over what (if any) images that are displayed in the forums that I read. Allow us, through user forum options, to choose our skin and some functionality. Other, lesser, forums have this... I don't like seeing a lot of wasted screen space on un-necessary border images and padding
Functionally, the forums seem ok (the ganking thing is just annoying and seemingly random)
Visually, it's not that it's different as I didn't really like the old forums. It's just that after all this work and still you come out with a product that is lightyears behind "normal" forum UI and functionality.
I'm just flabbergasted.
Edit: 16 pages for what could possibly have been only 8. Just wow |

Its not always that everything new sucks. This reminds me a bit of the new Turbiner's lotro forum that was horrifying when it was released.
I would say the readability is clearly worse than it was. Especially with zoom and larger text. :( I hope it will improve!
PS. no one complained when Lotro europe forums were renewed. |

BTW, out of all things to complain about you forgot the fact that when you click on a topic to read it, it takes you to the last page instead of the first post. Now THAT's a design failure that makes no sense at all. |

Without a dislike option the system means nothing as there is nothing to compare your quantity of likes against.
For example; If you get 5 likes you might think your post is good, even though only 5 out of the 200 readers actually thought so. Without giving the other 195 the ability of dislike the entire system is nothing more then phase 2 in CCP public image campaign, this entire forum is filled with people who only get positive responses to their forum posts
Edit: I forgot; to prove this point i've only been giving out likes to forum trolls |

This kind of stuff happens when eyecandy and fancy features become more important than the content itself. It is a common problem with many things nowdays and unfortunately even eve client hasn't been unaffected.
I just wish that people who are pulling the strings realize this at some point... |

Yes, it's new and yes, I'm not keen on change, but I've been trying to read stuff on this new look forum for over an hour. It's making my eyes hurt and giving me a headache.
I've used various forums, loved some, hated some, but this is the first I've found where my eyes just want to look anywhere but the forum itself. I read half way through a line and then find myself having to look away from the page!
Not good... not good at all. |

@ Akita: I'm not missing the point, because the point is that you want CCP to make this forum children-under-the-age-of-5-proof, since you're obviously bitching about something that isn't even a problem if people just use it like it's supposed to be used. Instead you're acting like a little kiddie that doesn't get his way, so you keep spamming your tower of letters to show what terror a tower of letters can do, despite no-one is ever going to put that much effort into trolling for more than 2 posts. |

Hi there !
Thank you for your comme nt.
We are not compl aining about being able to type text into the forums .
What we are compla ining about is the massive waste of horizon tal space on these forums.
Not every one views the intern et on an old 640x 480 telev ision.
Some of us have highe r resolu tion monitor s .
With these new monitor s less than half of it is taken up by the text.
Most of it is the backgr ound picture.
While it is neat to see ships flying in format ion i would rather see the text.
Well ok not the current text , but assumi ng they let us switch to a font and size that doesn't burn my eyes it would be nice to see. |

I'm looking at the forum on 1920 x 1080 and I'm not seeing the issue. It looks like just like any other forum that has a fixed width and the readablity of a post has nothing to do with the width of the page. Doesn't hurt my eyes either. Maybe you shouldn't sit 2 inches from your monitor... |

Oh look now we have to sign into spacebook to even post on the (eye hurting text colour) new forums.....
Not enough that privacy on that is opt out instead of opt in ? Now they make us sign into it to even post on a forum.....
Guess that's one way to get the statistics to show how much of a "success" spacebook is eh ?

Posting to confirm, these forums suck. Visually, they are much better. features seem cool, but not migrating the content was a really poor decision.

Open this to new tab http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?
...and compare it to this current tab...
Unfortunately at least I like the old layout, font, linking system and colors better.
I get a feeling that this forum update was sponsored by EVE Gate team... Sad day :(
Why you couldn't at least import the old forum database... ? Anyone could code that kind of script in a week from scratch.
/me is unhappy.

I VERY RARELY POST here, but I DO like to read/lurk....
I applaud the effort, but there are many many problems.
Something is messed up with the font/background. It's hard to read. I'm getting a headache, and it's causing eyestrain. This is on a 26" Professional monitor. I've never been to a forum where it's as bad as this.
The OLD forums had fonts much much smaller but that were EASIER to read.
There's too much whitespace. I come here to READ, not look at avatar pictures. I would rather not have the pictures, or have them be 1/4 the size.
On my main computer, the fixed width is too small. On my tablet in portrait mode, the fixed width is too wide. Get rid of the useless spacing, and let the font auto wrap to MY window size, not some arbitrary size you picked.
'Like' is useless without a 'Dislike'. Both can be gamed. You should probably take it out altogether.
'Search' is still a joke. I can't search by date? What is this the 1980's?
'Dev' tag should show you the first, or optionally 'all' dev posts in that thread.
Need to have a 'new' tag to take you to new posts in a thread, don't automagically assume I always want to go to the last post I read.
Unbelievable that the post color doesn't change for something I've read so I know I already looked at it.
The smily faces look like a child drew them.
There should be better navigation bars at the top AND the bottom.
I could go on, but I doubt you'll do anything to fix this terrible new forum anyway.
Did I mention the EYESTRAIN the font induces?
Looks like this was created by the same group that did the terrible Planetary Interaction UI.
I would be happy right now if you rolled back this abomination, and reinstituted the old forums until you fix this piece of work.

You know you're going to grow tired of your childish words tower eventually. That's how it works with little kids, you let them rage until they wear themselves out.

I don't post as much as well, but I do agree with the opinion that the "new" forums are a major step back and not good. The fixed width for the side graphics at the top are not worth it, as the sides go to black for the remainder of the page.
I am not sure what makes it so eye straining to read, but I have tried it on 3 different computers with multiple screen resolutions and I feel headaches coming on after just a few minutes no matter the settings I use.
The old forums were better than this is atm.
