New Website Design and Navigation

    The theme is great. I just have a few odd bugs:

    - the avatar images aren't loading (this isn't the bug of new layout, it's been for some days). I only see my own and basic Ouroboros avatars, all others seem to have image missing. I'm using Chrome. Anyone else having this? Nevermind, this isn't the issue with the website, it's something else, maybe my virus protection or something...

    edit: though, when I try to open avatar-images of others to a new tab, I get error message. And then, when I change the image address from https to http, I can view the image in new tab. Wierd.

    - When clicking "Sign In", the sign-in area goes under the header. I have my information saved, but if I hadn't, I could not fill my user name, as it is under the header (password part is visible). This was only issue in Chrome, in Firefox sign-in area was much lower.

    • Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
    • Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
    • Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
    • Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
    • And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

    unnecessarily large header & footer, far too intrusive

    if feels like i have accidentally 'zoomed in' on the web page

    more time & money wasted by a company making unnecessary changes instead of addressing actual issues

    GG on the continuity of terrible service!

    I to have missing pictures and avatars. Firefox and Edge on win10. And it IS a problem on ZOS's end. Although https://, Firefox claims parts of the website are not secure, like pictures and therefore isn't loading them. Padlock in front of the address isn't green as should be on https but is showing a yellow exclamation mark.

    Language flags would probably be better off at the top rather than in the Forum strip, since the language choices are not a forum-only setting.

    Yeah that would work. I was thinking on the right next to the Buy Now button, but since you put Server Status there, the left would be fine.

    It's okay overall, but the slight delay on the drop-down menu every time you change pages in the forum is really bad for my eyes. It pushes the entire page down when it drops and then back up when it gets smaller. Please take pity on people with tired eyes, make the menu of a fixed size and do not make it change the position of the entire page.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Hey all, thanks so much for your feedback! Just wanted to let you know we're looking at options to change or adjust the top navigation bar/header. Stay tuned for updates...

    - When clicking "Sign In", the sign-in area goes under the header. I have my information saved, but if I hadn't, I could not fill my user name, as it is under the header (password part is visible). This was only issue in Chrome, in Firefox sign-in area was much lower.
    Try doing a hard refresh of your browser or clear your cache; this issue was fixed yesterday afternoon.

    Too much flickery stuff. The header on forums is always jumping/readjusting when I open a page, and checking the store showcase last night had the side bar flickering while I scrolled. This is very annoying. Things were fine the way they were before. Now I kinda dread even viewing ESO's various pages :(

    Why not center the footer content? - For some reason it always annoys me, then they aren't centered...

    All you need to do is add text-align: center; to the CSS file (to the footer element).

    I don't like it. My scroll bar has disappeared and it now takes forever for me to scroll to the top or bottom of a page. Could be my crappy browser... I'll try my other browsers and see if that fixes the problem.

    EDIT: okay, scroll bar works on alternative browser, but I still don't like the header following me around. Just a personal opinion.

    This new design is useless.

    A forum is for reading the forum, or writing to the forum.

    The billboard is ZOS selfserving glitz treating us like we're too stupid to know we're on the forum, or placed and animated in such a way as to make the forum less efficient to use by reducing the readable forum screen and replacing it with unimportant blocked out area that is useless to readers.

    What a load of junk the forum design has become.

    I suspect it's just designed to chase more people off, or chase us to twitter where we have less ability to ask/respond/interact.
    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.

    If the top bar stayed permanently collapsed this would be a great overhaul. As it is, the dead space when I first visit a page drives me nuts.

    It's CLEAR the forum is way less efficient now, and I always liked to read the top area before, NOW THEY BLOCKED IT MAKING IT USELESS TO READERS!

    What a load of junk.

    Despite the fix and clearing my web cache I am still unable to access my account icons/buttons. The banner is smaller, but it still blocks access. I can scroll down to see the icons/buttons, but as soon as i release from scrolling the page automatically scrolls back up blocking the buttons.

    Im using safari on ipad. Hopefully you are working on more changes to make it functional.

    I can't believe I hadn't done it before, but I downloaded Adblock on Chrome just to get the stupid header to stop collapsing and expanding constantly. I cannot fathom how this behavior would in ANY way improve the user experience on these forums. A baffling choice.

    I can no longer login to manage my account. The account login page simply refreshes with no error message. This has been tried on several updated browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) with minimal, standard and custom security/privacy settings with fully flushed history/cache/cookies each attempt. This is a serious issue.

    Your real humans largely did a good job - the restructuring of the main site looks great - just want to put that out there. Sometimes you only hear the bad but you have to know what you did right. too (:

    I still think the icons along the bottom should be smaller - they're larger than the forums avatars, and even in the footer they're kind of overpowering the page when you go to write a post.

    As an example, when scrolled all the way down, I have about 50% of the screen as the actual body. If you shrunk the icons and made the footer two columns wide or shrunk down the icons - especially the ESRB one - it'd look a lot better.

    I still have the same opinion as on the first page concerning the header, though.
