Second, this. <gets crate of rotten tomatoes>
Careful, mate. I got in trouble last time I posted that ASCII piece of genius.
Not impressed.
That's... really all I have to say on the matter. I keep discovering new and scary things that are unsettling me (the absence of a C-point purchase option, replaced with Zen... it goes on)

*Lots* of wasted space at the top. Is it really necessary to have the header take up half the page?
Blue on grey (still no choice of skins?)
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] "I weary of the chase. Wait for me. I shall be merciful and quick."
NO ONE comes to the forum to look at an image. There's no reason for it to be larger than 300 or so pixels, anyway.
Removal of avatar customization in lieu of a few static choices is something that I hope is temporary as they continue to transition to the new system.
The "reply", "preview", "advanced", "quote", "multi-off", etc. buttons need to be edited to both match the color scheme and get rid of the extra white pixels around the edges.
It's a shame the upgrade didn't pull from the previous database to keep folks' threads and junk, but *shrug*. That's not too big a deal.
Really, the STO header in addition to the forum header makes the top of every page ridiculous regardless of a user's screen resolution. It's just wasted space before anyone can get to the actual content, which is poor UI design for the web. Please look into smaller options for that.

really don't like how our PWE names are our forum names, had no idea it would link them like this. :mad:
I preferred the old forum layout, don't really mind the new layout though.
In a word, - NO.
In a series of smileys, - :eek:
(EEK - ?confused? - /frown - /MAD)
If you've ever been to any other PW game's forums, they look exactly the same, only re-skinned to suit that game. It's degrading, really.
All good things....
Furthermore, the above response can be applied to the question:
Do you like the idea of having a Perfect World account to play / post?"
Where are my subscription options?
And fixed width? I'd hope that no-one was running at 600x800 anymore...
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] "I weary of the chase. Wait for me. I shall be merciful and quick."
But I'm not exactly surprised. In my short tenure playing STO, Cryptic/PWE have repeatedly released half-finished updates to accompany their half-finished game.
So why not update the forums with a new setup that has half-functionality?
If this is season 2 of the forums, maybe by season 7 we'll have avatars and access to mail again.
'Coming soon.'
The buttons are all artifacty and ugly.
The quote buttons are at the top instead of the bottom of the posts. (why?)
The header, while pretty, is too damned big.
Signatures seem to be broken and more constricting.
When editing a post, it automatically goes into quick reply.
Quick Reply doesn't work, giving poster "No thread specified" error message.
NO CUSTOM AVATARS??!?!?! WHATTHEFUARGEGBELBGEEGBLBGEBLE?!?!?!
All this discovered in less than 20 minutes.
Yeah, its pretty neat how it took all day long to come up with a worse board than we had before...

I don't like it at all.
Bleh.

Bland...just bland. But hopefully...there will be improvement.
That's standard operating procedure, though, right?

More concerning is it seems C-Points no longer exist and its now Zen? What happened to the C-Points I had? Would also be neat I suppose if that Core connect worked with STO, but I guess that's coming.
And give us back "mark forums read" somewhere.

have to figure out everything again.
Al the threads look "big", i don't know, it takes longer to scroll thru them and they are harder to tell apart than before.
Thanks to a few other peeps, i got my sig figured out, but still...
Worst of all:
Since I had to merge accounts, i now can not log into the game...
