It's that giant button erroneously labelled 'New Post' on the right side of the forums above the Quick Links.
Yeah, you'd think a button for starting a new topic/discussion would actually be CALLED 'New Topic', but clearly whoever did the labelling either failed to graduate from Web Design and/or English school or did so through some combination of nepotism or bribery.
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.

I got the theory that the person who did this was an intern who didn't got paid for the task (even if they got paid at all) and had to do it in a hurry, so they did the absolutely lowest amount of effort that was accepted, so you the resulting quality speaks for itself.
My only problem with it is it's one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no-one had a chance to interrupt; it was really quite hypnotic....
would be nice if we could at least tell the signatures apart from the posts.
ive had sigs hidden for years...
Huh. I honestly didn't know this was a thing. I wonder how many other folks do this. Perhaps that would explain why some don't seem to see the info provided in my signature.

the "New" tag for posts should be orange like Cardassia though
It definitely needs to be a different colour as it just disappears into the blandness of the forum making it difficult to see what posts have new replies.

Seriously, who designed this? its complete hogwash and thats my opinion. Please change them back
I'm relatively "new" here. I've only been playing Star Trek Online for a handful of weeks.
I do have severa years of experience with the World of Warships game and forums, though.
So, when comparing STO with WOWs, ....
~WOWs forums appearance is much more user-friendly.
~WOWs, as a game, is more user-friendly to learn and to research (thanks to their wiki pages and years of forum posts and youtube videos posted by WOWs official youtube channel and others who were either community contributors or are fans of WOWs).
~In fairness, many people have created helpful content for STO. But STO's complexity and vaguely defined terms are hindering it more than helping it. I've been a Star Trek fan for decades and am familiar with prior Star Trek games and the Amarillo Design Bureau concepts of game play.
~Star Trek Online's best feature is its' story content.
~Star Trek Online's offers the potential to explore several quadrants of a galaxy and "... to boldly go ..." in a manner that games which focus on "arena battles" simply don't have the capacity for.
It would be a mistake for STO to rest on its' laurels.
The STO game and the forums and the user-interfaces for everthing could use a serious overhaul, in my opinion.

Likewise. It suddenly went poof.
