I would not expect to see in game Eve Mails integrated into these forums. At least not anytime soon. You can access your evemails here: https://gate.eveonline.com/Mail/Inbox, or using any of a number of cellphone applications written by third parties.
Now we need an assist tuto for a forum. That make sense to you ?.. Gosh there is something wrong in that way⌠We need brain implant to use a forum now⌠Oh Wait maybe⌠Can we have one CCP ?
I donât find this anywhere near the pain of a Facebook comment thread. I can jump back and forth between posts and replies painlessly here. I have confidence that it will keep my place here and go back to where I last read when I return to a thread, I can easily bookmark an exact position within a thread, and when scrolling through all those replies finally does get painful because of a threadnaught, I just jump back to the top and fire off summary mode to get a feel for the conversation without having to read all the âme too! reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeâ posts.
Paged forum shape is useful for finding posts/discussion.
CCP Falcon commented with some useful information on Page 6 of this thread.
You donât get such benefit on continual scrolling. So basically, if you want people to read something and never come back, scrolling is a-okay. But if youâre treating the forum as reference material (and thatâs what Dev posts are), then pages are a very useful thing to have.
I believe the poll was made by a player, not CCP. That being said, I personally expected there to be some kick back as people donât like change. One of my personal favourite complaints that I saw was âWhy isnât my likes carried overâ. But anyway back to the important point, personally I was not a fan when I first saw these forums that opinion has changed
This whole paragraph feels like a big, inconsiderate, F-YOU.
Is that CCPâs stance?
Or just your personal opinion?
Iâm not talking about communicating it to others. If you happen to require some information that you remember being in a specific location (even for curiosityâs sake). Even if itâs not the exact page, you can jump to a location (page) close to what youâre looking for then refine your search from there.
This doesnât work with the infinite scroll. If - at the time - the comment/post in question was a quarter of the way down the thread, thereâs no guarantee itâll still be a quarter of the way down at a later date⌠thread length grows with time. Page 6 is always Page 6, even in a 100 Page threadnaught.
TLDR: Pagination makes informal searching easier for the end-user because itâs coarse-grained.
Not really. 6 weeks is pretty short timeline, especially when no other alternatives were even offered. A thing like this should have really taken at least 3 months, with only the GD section being made read only just on the off chance that the forums just didnât work.
Except CCP jumped the boat, threw everything on to it and went âPOST ALL THE THINGS HERE!â without realising that âWhoops, we need to make a new wide theme. Oh weâre going to have to get 3rd parties to do scripts for itâ. To be fair, the forums have been stable, but just their implementation has been a bit of a train wreck.
