poll Personally, I love the functionality of the new forums. I love that we can include images in our post, that topics can be arranged in order of size, activity, and views, that polls can be embedded in posts. However, I’m not a fan of the design. The old forums had a very simple and uncomplicate…

[image] Sgt_Ocker: Can I ask why 1/3rd of the page is taken up by a thing with dates on it? As I understand it, the base design comes from the Discourse message board creators. That being said, I believe it may be possible to adjust the size of the side bar. That is a question that needs to…

To be honest new things take to get used to. As much as EVE players seems highly averse to change, the new forums will probably work out alright.

A way I could think of to make actually use of this timeline is to mark e.g. Dev-posts on it, so that you can click onto the mark at the timeline and get right to that post made there. Would be great to recap a therad this way - since there seem to be no pages ever…

There was feedback on the old forums but it was ignored. It will be probably ignored also now. These forums look like the discourse forums around the web and I dont know how much they can customize it. Maybe its where the problem lies. Going for discourse was bad in the first place. EVE is not a mo…

Nora Maldoran - That could work if it was relevant to a majority of threads but as Devs rarely interact with the forums it would still just be wasted space. Now if it showed my posts, posts I had quoted and or responded to then it might be useful but would still not require 1/3 of the page as it do…

The same could be said of pagination. I utterly abhor pagination, because it means that I have to take my finger off of the scroll wheel that works anywhere on the screen, and go searching for the right button to take me to the next page. It’s a jarring change in the interaction with the page just b…

[image] Morrigan_Laima: Discourse is actually more usable out of the box and extremely intuitive to people who haven’t used a forum before Idk, this seems a lot more complex and overwhelming at first than the style of the old forums. Sure, the prompts are nice, but navigation isn’t as simple. …

too soon to tell, but so far looking good. :sunglasses:

That’s the whole point, we can say a few times more we don’t like Discourse and we want pages instead of infinite scroll, but it was the very first thing CCP decided and they didn’t ask anyone…
