Oh, TRIBBLE. I just discovered that I need to re-bookmark all my fav bookmarked threads.
Tomorrow. I'll start digging tomorrow.
No kidding. I've got roughly 2 dozen of them.
A redirect feature or keeping the old forums as a read only would have been nice.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
I'm old, this new forum frightens and confuses me.
I have to agree. It's rather bland looking imho. Anyone know if we can customize the look or background at all?
The Targ agrees.

"No. Men do not roar. Women roar. Then they hurl heavy objects... and claw at you." -Worf, son of Mogh
"A filthy, mangy beast, but in its bony breast beat the heart of a warrior" - "faithful" (...) "but ever-ready to follow the call of the wild." - Martok, about a Targ
"That pig smelled horrid. A sweet-sour, extremely pungent odor. I showered and showered, and it took me a week to get rid of it!" - Robert Justman, appreciating Emmy-Lou
What bugs me the most is the different structure/other games and HUGE funny images and videos, which make text pretty much unreadable sometimes.
A customization of background looks would be helpful. It looks a bit too foggy imo.
Although we can now post huge images, the funny thing is we still have a very limited amount of smileys at our disposal (why are they called emoji suddenly? lol). And their tooltip only shows its character string but not their actual meaning... (yeah i'm a old geezer *giggle*)
On the other hand, i hope the bookmark function really works, because the old forums didn't bookmark anything since the first forum change several years ago.

Kind of annoying that the pagination buttons are only available at the top of a thread and not at the bottom when I.. want to click to the next page because I've reached.. the bottom.. :cough:
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
Press "Ctrl" and "+". It should make things bigger.
Then all your other websites are now wrong. A forum with missing core features and that requires you to click 5 or 6 times between each use to resize is a terrible forum. This change is going lose them a lot of players and money.
That may depend on your browser. I find that when I pinch zoom on Firefox (even my laptop is a touch screen) to get a website set where I want it, it does not carry over to other websites.

Hrmm, for some odd reason - it feels more like the forums are in a coma than back...so to speak. Just feels like with the myriad of issues, folks just can't be bothered to bother. Course, it's something that started before the changes; but it's difficult personally not to feel like PWE kicked the forums while they were down.
Though it is pretty nifty that after everything else has been hidden, hitting the "Discussion" link works like Today's Post did. Have to say, going through and hiding all the rest makes being here a wee bit more tolerable...not having to see posts from folks talking about things I don't care about in the least.

I tried that Discussion link but all I see are junk posts from other games I have no interest in. These forums seem like a massive step backwards. Don't they care about all the players they will upset and money they will lose?
Alas, the quoted text is still barely distinguishable from the rest of the post. I was kinda hoping they'd look at that during the migration.
Reminds me of the webcomic Use Sword On Monster, when Oz and Osira are discussing "that ridiculous throne". Someone in the comments made a Game of Thrones reference, to which another user posted Oz's probable instructions: “The Royal Hiney-Holder is going to be comfortable, got it? Lumbar support, reclining back, and a nice headrest. Also, I want a larger cupholder and a folding table. None of this ‘forged from the swords of your enemies’ goofiness.”

It was literally a case of going through and hiding every other forum outside of the STO forums...then they no longer show up when hitting "Discussion" up there.
This is what my Arc Forums looks like with everything else hidden...
Which turns my Recent Discussions into STO only...(example)

Kind of makes my Pinhead /facepalm less interesting.

My sympathies. You may have had more fun waiting on the Vanilla switchover.

Forum PvP is going to go the same way as in-game PvP.
I just realized that you're on there 4 times.
