new forum software.thank you ffg

By richsabre, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

WHAT IS THIS! They took my Beorn profile avatar away! Oh well. I guess I'll have to live with being a Stone Giant from now on. And Rich, how did you get those member title things?

go onto your profile and 'edit profile' then it is where it says 'member title'

as for the rest of the forum, i have had time to think, and i like the obvious - fast posting, member post count and title, subscription to posts....but i really dislike the following:

1- some features do not work. i cannot like things or update my 'feed'. whilst these are little gimmicky things i was sort of looking forward to them. i assume they will be fixed though

2-the warning counter is far to visible...i feel like i am being watched. what exactly would you get warnings for? i hope this forum isnt going to turn into one of those ultra moderated ones...i really enjoyed the fact that this forum was respectful on its own without moderation

3-some of the avatars seem to have dissapeared, thankfully mine has not

4-the preview banners at the top of the page have dissapeared. this makes them far less visible

5- those who have not selected an avatar have a bigger 'image' than when you do

6- the overall look is nice but a bit difficult to see content...not sure why that is, perhaps the font is smaller?

7- you cannot see who posted last on a topic

Hmm... That last point of yours is odd. I could have sworn that when I first looked at the new forums it did in fact say who posted last. But now, it only says replies and views. Strange.

ps- im not particularly liking these warning points, and the fact they are so visible on the side....they surely arent that important to display

They seem to be visible only to yourself, but you are right. I don't like them either.

Come on, don't you just want to earn a few, just to see what you can buy with them :P ? Next time Rich posts about his hobbit-loveins, he'll get some :lol: !

so tempting dam haha.....i tried liking your post but still no luck on the like function....

on a serious note what exactly do you get them for?

Ban of some length would be my guess.

Also, I'm more and more convinced Rich is actually a hobbit. IIRC, he's said he lives in the middle of nowhere (at least as far as other players are concerned), that's just like the Shire was out of the way for normal people :P .

Thanks for the change ... ok slight problems might be but generally a big step forward :D

Hey, at least the "mark threads as read" fuction works in just a couple of seconds compared to the old, which sometimes took minutes.

Likes should now be fully functional. Avatar libraries will grow in time but first we want to make sure the forums are working well for everyone. We apologize to anyone who lost their favorite images, but hope that 1,500+ avatar images are sufficient for the time being.

i like the new forum. just the speed of it alone makes the change worthwhile i reckon. no more sitting waiting for it to load for 2 minutes, or watching it hang in the middle of doing something... it's heaven!

i agree with other people that it would be nice to get the most recent news articles posted above the forum again, though. That's the main place where i see them.

Pretty much this. I'm glad the old abomination of a forum is gone.

The new Quest.Log is not structured well. Before, we could see the quest-view list in the right chronologic order, but now there isnt any order. Now it's a chaos.

Should be improved very soon.

I like the new forum, especially the quick reply feature. Thanks a lot ffg.

I think they're still in the process of updating it.

i think people should be able to see the likes fomr the users on the post.. like this post was liked by.. *list, or at least the like count on the post.

Happy with the changes, particularly the logging in time....much improved. Easier on the eye when looking at the posts. Thanks FFG
