apart from Service Unavailable - Zero size object fix
1) spoiler tags
that would allow to hide larger text/images when quoting, would reduce number of quoted sheets of text
2) support section - there are a lot of ppl here who are either working in IT IRL or simply have dealt with same problem and can help much faster than support, freeing support ppl for other issues. and it would create a knowledge base so ppl can search before posting/submitting a ticket, at the very least ppl could help with properly describing the problem saving support from "OMG i haz lagz" tickets for reporting performance issues

Official reply:
PRO-TIP The forum system that Swordsman uses is SUPER-SUCK OF THE MOST HIGH and ten times worse than these forums, usability-wise. If Cryptic moves to that system I'll likely drop Neverwinter forums hence forth. yes. really. It's currently easier to just deal with the occasional "service unavailable" issue than to use that steaming heap-o-crappola.
Ouch that's a scary opinion on it. /gulp
So I thought you were exaggerating, I went there.
What has been seen....................
One of the many Control Wizards that misses Shard Of The Endless Avalanche. RIP Shard (Beta-Mod3)
I just did too.
It burns it burns.
That is an even worse forum...........
Doesn't seem that bad to me =/
Edit: well seems to take longer to load, and editing a reply seems out of position so I guess it's not great.
It's crowded with a severe lack of categories, has recent discussions instead of new posts, which seems to function like today's posts does for those that don't sign into the NW forums. Recent posts does also NOT sort by language so even though I can only speak english there are a ton of posts listed in what I think is Russian. There is also no dev tracker that I can find. To me that is a drop in functionality so extreme that I'm honestly at a loss to explain it.
...wow
please please PLEASE don't switch to those forums...
Talk about the worst piece of crapware on the internet...

^This. All this.
Especially the parts I've highlighted.
I *live* by these two current features of these forums.*
*This is why I'd rather deal with the occasional "Service Unavailable" than to lose these major features.
it's a popup. If you block pop ups, you'll never see it.
Forums, Forum Layout, Dev Tracker, New Post Highlight, PM Notifications, and so on are all cosmetic at best. To judge a forum system on the lack of seeing these is quite silly as these are elements that almost any forum system has, whether used or not.
Moving to the Arcgames.com unified forum system will be better not only for you, the Community, but also better for us Moderators and other Forum Staff as well on so many levels.
These, among many other things large and small, are all also things we, the Community Staff, would also like to see. We most likely won't have any changes in these regards until after the switch to the new forum system.

If not then can I post my suggestion here? And will it be read - at least if it gets alot of +1's ?
Precisely.
Such a suggestion forum works best in the earliest stages of MMO development, not in established MMOs with an insurmountable amount of possible topics. In established MMOs, feedback is found much easier when sorted into appropriate forums for their specific topics.
However, what we could use in this regard is an Official Forum for feedback that doesn't allow new threads to be made by forum users, only allowing replies to threads already made by forum and game staff.

In the settings menu there's an option to turn it on. It pops up a dialog (as stated above) when you get a pm. It's not great, but it's all we got. But yeah, I don't really understand why some companies seem to struggle with a fully working forum.

The lack of a dev tracker would be a big loss indeed, I didn't really look out for it.
it could work if devs asked only about a single, specific thing/topic not about all class like on preview, else theres too much spam
And offical reply thread would be nice.
Because a forum area spammed with player threads won't be any use either, no one will read them.
