Honestly, I'm okay with the colors and everything...but I sorely miss the option to navigate back to the previous subforum without using the "back" button, since that doesn't necessarily refresh the thread list. Instead, this navigation brings us back to the category. It's an extra click every time I leave a thread.
Living vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:
"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management." Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir." Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!" Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?" Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop." Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!" Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp." Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard." Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT." Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun." Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..." Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said." Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!" Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time." Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people." Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight." Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"
they'll focus on ingame quest bugs first than the forums
As it should be.
"If danger doesn't find her, she'll seek it out and invite it home to dinner." ~ Prince Naemon
"Such despair! Richer than a cheese sorbet!" ~ Sheogorath
heh I'm the opposite. I find the multi-language setup is fine. I rather like being able to quickly check the french sections for info. English is always on top and the sections are clearly labeled EN, FR or DE. Just click on EN, poof english only.
It`s the awful colors I don`t like, and the fonts are a bit big... *shrug*
For a game that feels like it's worthy of the money I spent on it (I love playing!), the support, and the forums, are far below even the Free-To-Play games. These forums are a nightmare to find anything (why isn't it divided into more logical categories?) I still can't change my username. Whoever thought brown on brown was a good colour scheme needs to go back to the 70s.
They're off to a great start with the actual game, now they just need to fix everything else, since currently this is a far worse out-of-game experience than any other MMO.

The lay out of the forum does not bug me, I just don't the colors. I like a black / dark background with light color text. The color theme of the Bethesda forum was very good and wish this forum follow the same pattern.
Just bumping the thread with hopes forum improvement will become a priority. With this being a new game, forum navigation is paramount since we will all be headed here to see why the servers are down.
The lack of a general discussion makes most players post in this section instead.
There is also too much categories with sub categories, too much clicking before you get to any threads.
The design is pretty horrible. There is a reason classic forum designs rarely change; It works. This design looks confusing, and ugly, in my opinion. The lack of important sections such as general discussion goes on top of that.
Finally, the multiple languages are... silly. There is a reason you have to pick a language in the top right corner, filter languages through that, rather than making all languages visible for everyone, further adding to the confusion.
