I hear you, but there are times where I don't want to read everything. I just want to post. Consider the story contests. They go on and on...I don't care what the other stories say, I just want to post my entry.

Then for those very rare threads where others' posts are irrelevant, hit the "End" key on your keyboard.

Giraffon · March 2015

Ah! Why didn't I think of that? It's not a mouse click, but it gets the job done. Thanks!

Keron · March 2015

Can we get the "Participated" view on mobile view? Or, if I'm just too dense to find it - were is it?

ZOS_AlanG · March 2015

At the moment we don't have any news on mobile updates for the forums. Although the revamped structure did fix access issues that some people were encountering.

Our options for mobile changes are more limited, but this is something we've looked at in the past, and will be investigating again in the near future.

There's no button to bring you to Participated, although it does work if you want to bookmark it: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussions/participated

Perfect, good to know you can access it via link, thanks for the heads up.

Is there a way of deleting a drafted reply on the forums without it re-appearing every time you load that topic?

Once a thread is open, I have to scroll to the bottom before I can see the most recent post. Is there a way to "jump" to the bottom with a single mouse click?

Clicking on the thread title should automatically take you to the first unread post. If you want to go to the bottom, just press "End" on the keyboard.

On this subject, I have noticed that in some moderated threads, clicking the title takes me to the top of the last page instead of the last post in the thread. Is this intentional or a bug in my mobile viewer?

Slurg · March 2015

Also are the revamped forums open to everyone now or just users with game accounts? I ask because I saw a thread started by someone who says they are thinking about getting the game next week, but I thought you had to already have the game in order to post on the forum.

@Tandor "My Drafts" in the Account Options dropdown (the cog wheel in the header bar), or directly to http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/drafts.

@ZOS_AlanG ...

I just noticed that the ESO Live - Ask Us Anything! thread is pinned but does not appear in the Recent Discussions view. It is pinned in the General Discussion view.

I am not sure if this is related to the revamped forums, but thought I would mention it here.

P.S. - Neither does this thread.

just got back and i would say the forums had a very nice update to it! i love it

ZOS_AlanG · March 2015

As I'm sure you've noticed, the forums got a new coat of paint today. This also includes a number of tweaks and bug fixes, such as larger font size for post text, and the ability to access older posts in the Dev Tracker. As always, we'd love to know what everyone thinks!

Color/contrast is terrible. The "paint" must have been on sale eh?

Xupacabra · March 2015

My eyes cant handle this bright, can you please make an option background colour?

MissBizz · March 2015

The white background is too... White. The blueish color seems to give it enough brightness. I do like the posts with their grey color though

Elsonso · March 2015

OMG. Put it back.

GT_Schorsch · March 2015

Could you please provide us the option to choose between the 'old' style (as of some hours ago) and this new style in profile settings? Many discussion boards are capable of doing this.

Reason: I have to agree the white is too bright and also, the 'old' brown colours are matching way more to the Elder Scrolls series, in my opinion.

Elsonso · March 2015

I am just wondering how long it will take before some at ZOS realizes that AlanG's account has been hacked.

Enodoc · March 2015

Very... um... bright. And blue. Would you consider making the background darker than the foreground? That would ease the glare somewhat.
eg (this is #CBD4D4):

Genius!

Now if only I could save this to force my PC to do this every time I opened the forums..

GT_Schorsch · March 2015

@MissBizz: Try the Stylish addon for Firefox (no idea, if you use Chrome). If you know how to code CSS you can edit almost all modern websites to your liking.

If you do not know CSS, ask Enodoc what he has changed.

EDIT: Argh, sorry for spelling your nick wrong!

We don't have the option to have multiple skins, but we will pass along the feedback about the brightness.

Runhent · March 2015

Please, let us choose a forum color scheme by our wish

It's the bit at the far right end of

.Container {
          background: url('http://css.elderscrollsonline.com/img/page-bg-b.jpg') no-repeat scroll center top / contain #FFF;
}

I changed #FFF to (in my example) #CBD4D4.

Snit · March 2015

I like most of the changes you have made to the forums, but the color scheme induces eyestrain. If reading them late at night, the bright colors are also more likely to screw up our circadian rhythms. Both issues amount to too many white or nearly white pixels all at once.

Zershar_Vemod · March 2015

Stop making these poor changes please!

Now this color scheme makes it hard to even read anything!

Tandor · March 2015

The text is a great improvement, as is the change to the Dev Tracker and the ability to forward in a topic through ZOS posts.

However, the white borders on a decent wide monitor are a nightmare and seriously bad on the eyes.

ZOS_AlanG · March 2015

We wanted to let everyone know we're currently investigating options for the white forum side bars, as well as improvements for the mobile theme.
