What will this new forum give us that the old one could not?

Okay, we've seen (at the time of this posting) the locked-out-of-old-posts, the User/Display forced name changes, the removed avatars, lost PM's, the inaccessible to making posts from the wizard class' "The Library" section,
I'll put that all aside and ask the title thread question again:
What will this new forum give us that the old one could not?
Tell us what things about the Cryptic/PWE Neverwinter forum are better? Please, give us something to work with.
the typos on the display of "The Thieves’ Den" class section and other places, the "bear minimum" if tolerated Smilies, the lack of reporting posts and said errors links anywhere on this site, etc.You may not post new threads
You may not post replies
You may not post attachments
You may edit your posts

Frankly i will not be posting much anymore, these log in shenanigans have pretty much made me feel "meh" about all this, if they can't do this easy stuff right i shudder to think about the game.
That said GL guys, i will try out the game but ya not holding my breath and in the mean time back to DDO and will most definately be checking GW2 out.

You will be missed (at least by me) Asm0deus. I understand your decision, and hope you choose to change your mind. If not, I thank you for all your contributions previously. b:cry''
Dangit, I promised I wouldn't cry! Wait, I'm not a freakin' BEAR so guess I'm NOT :P That one's for you As.
They HAD to integrate it. Maybe it was unwanted for them too, but they had to incorporate Zen. So it would have be sort of inevitable. Now they have done it [ Rob Schneider gets up and says - You can do it!] so they can make changes to it and make it better.
in life change is inevitable (except from vending machines when you should consider it a bonus!)

Just makes me sick to know that they will eventually do this to the CO forums.

- check who is online
- see all posts/threads made by a particular person
- chceck Dev's Tracker, which isn't working anymore
from the things you didn't mention.
So yeah, I doubt these errors and things were a "hell yeah!!!" in Cryptic studios. However, I hope they'll fix this as fast as possible since it's REALLY discouraging to post on the forum right now.
I think they are already working on it. They are probably fixing spelling mistakes first as they are easiest to fix, then probably they will work on design a bit (the uniform black background) and change it in shades of dark-grey. Then they will start working on logic and make stuff like that.
Old website also had options to join as a group (though I never used it) maybe they will bring it back too for static and semi-static groups. Also auto-sorting of posts for an account (latest first) would be nice if it comes back.
But they do have time as most crowd will come (and also come-back) just a month before launch or such.
You can still post your thoughts and opinion's. The dev's are still reading all the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> we have to say and seemingly trying to implement the things we all want most into the game.
Yes the game has been delayed for a long time. Do we get alot of info about what's happening in and with the game? No. Do we want false info or a bunch of promises that they can never hope to achieve thus getting our hopes up only to let down upon the release? I'd say not.
So let the information come at a slow trickle as long as it's accurate and quit complaining about it. We've all waited this long, so what's another 6months or so?
Judging from the videos and interview's we've all watched and read about 1000 times by now the game looks amazing and I personally can't wait to play it, but I also have a realistic view of what's to come upon the release. It's not a "Perfect World" just the company is named that, there will be bug's, hiccups and stumbling blocks in the game there always is.
So buck up and buckle up! The next 6 months should prove to be very interesting!
C'mon and ride the roller coaster that is: NEVERWINTER!!!
This forum update was probably just the first of some more. They certainly needed to do the account stuff before the beta gets any closer. It should had been donde before PAX though.
The devs at Cryptic have MUCH more important things to do than staunch whining over cosmetic forum issues. I'm assuming, by the way, that the Cryptic team even has control over the appearance of this forum. It's possible that PWE simply hasn't assigned anyone to maintain this board. Yet. In any case, they (Cryptic devs) have a game to develop -- have some patience (and faith) that once they're able to delegate some labor into making the forum all pretty, they will.
Devs don't frequent here. Show me the last post that Andy posted here outside his lil Me thread in the introductions. The staff you see posting here do so because it's their job.. their moderators or PRs or whatever title they want to use. Their job is to read every post that's here and respond as they see fit.
People who do web design do just that, they are not your programers or your coders or your Devs. They have a team specifically for web designs as once a game goes live there is a whole <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> load of updates that constantly needs to be updated. Chances are since this is linked to other PWE game sites I would venture to say that the PWE staff will likely be handling most of the legwork. Like look at our smilies... do you honestly think Cryptic would had coded that?
There is a whole separate team that does the web stuff who are in no way related to the dev teams. Those who are on the web design team really do need to fix whatever it is that needs to be fixed on the website.
