    Polls cannot be edited after posting. I understand why that is, however whenever I try to edit the text explaining a poll, it comes up with an error - something along the lines of "select category"...

    The re-addition of the disagree button would also be useful, however it should not give you -1 point, since there's nothing wrong with other opinions :)

    And ty in advance for fixing the language select.

    This is regarding an RP category as I brought up in another thread.

    When looking at the categories to the right, I believe to have a category for RP would allow everyone to see there is an RP section in the category list. I believe it would really be a boost to the Rp community to see it is supported and not have to go looking through several subforums (personally I would never have thought to look in the community creations section. But maybe I am a bit slow on that one! :) )

    Thanks in advance.

    -Make the forums work for IE users. Not all of us will install another internet OS just to use these forums fully.(you can tell the ones...they're the ones with the defauls ourobourus logo cos we cant change it to anything else)
    -Add the Signature ability, for some of us these are as much a part of us as our Chars our.
    -Add external Avatar option, again some of us have our own we use on every forum so we are easily recognised to our friends.
    -Add abit of colour, after a while these 'grey' forums look depressing.

    They won't add an external Avatar, it was an option during Betas, and it got abused. And no company will instate something that has already been proven vulnerable to abuse.

    My suggestion is to exclude moderators admonishing members from the dev tracker, although this would eliminate 90% of the dev tracker function, it's not like the devs really talk to us much on the forums, but I will take all I can get. I just don't want to weed through moderators doing their jobs when I'm looking for dev comments.

    You sure this isn't how IE interprets the code, that it seems to fall back to the default when saving the profile, doesn't matter which avatar is selected.

    They could let us use our characters face. How difficult would it be to implement a way to upload a screenshot of our character's face? I assume they could make an in game utility that saved it to their servers and then we just select it on the forums.

    As part of the overhaul we are looking to 'flatten' the forum structure, removing nesting and allowing all forums to be displayed on the categories page. Given the large number of forums, there will be other ways to manage what you see.
    The ! sign is seen as an image in signatures :/
    We just tested this and the signature saved properly, perhaps there was something else causing the problem?

    -At this time we are not considering an external avatar option, although we may in the future. We do periodically add to the avatar pool.

    I'd like to see external Avatars bumped up on the "wish list". My example:

    @ZOS_AlanG I have had the issue consistently on one OS (P7P55D-E Pro/r5770) while the other (Z77 Sabertooth/r7970) its never been present, I'm assuming it may be OS related, though the language is the same on both but with PS/2 and USB keyboard.

    @Auldjohn Hmm I somehow imagine seeing more like these

    but I think they'd avoid all the silly stuff avatar_shumi-2014.gif:/

    @RedMiniStapler it may be more suitable to have the Categories floating instead of bound to the top or...
    @Oevaag_Bur an arrow "to top" would be ok :astonished:
    ... besides the Quick Search button, optionally an arrow "to bottom" at the top ofc.

    Based on the feedback we received from the community, we have added an ignore feature to our forums. This can be used to block private messages (PMs) and hide posts from up to 12 members. Detailed instructions on how to ignore and unignore members have been added to our searchable knowledge base.

    As mentioned in the opening post of this thread, a large forum overhaul is planned for this autumn. We may have some smaller updates (like today's) in the meantime, and as always, we continue to gather everyone's feedback and suggestions regarding our forums.

    Will this change how the foreign languages are separated on the forums? I think that's my only issue - navigating through the forums and checking dev tracker has a lot of extra traffic to it because of that, and can make it a little harder to find what you're looking for.

    Other than that, keep up the great work. <3

    A simple filter should handle that easily enough.

    Mods and admin can't be added to the ignore list, you're stuck with us. :)

    The default for Vanilla's ignore plug-in is 5 people. We've had this raised to 12, and may consider increasing it in the future after we see how it operates. In the meantime, you'll need to prioritize the 12 people you most want to ignore.
