    Reconsider the content policy on satire and parody. Satire is one of the oldest forms of criticism, and having a policy of deliberately deleting arguments employing satire while keeping angry rants seems to discourage intelligence and encourage emotional outbursts and mindless rage.

    If I block someone I don't want to see their crappy threads in the front page index of general chat. Eso in general just kinda fails at that.

    I don't know if it's been mentioned but collapses threads. Some people just don't know when to stop quoting when arguing with someone and it's just a lot of scrolling.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Can we please have confirmation of whether something is being done about the forums no longer being accessible through the default browser on our Samsung phones? It's just solid black and brown pages with no text legible.

    @Tandor Had this happen on my IE 11 and if I just refresh it all comes through ok. Not sure if this will work for you also and do know that there needs to be a better fix.

    Thanks but that doesn't work for me. The only way I can access the forums on my phone is to use Chrome instead of the default browser, but I have all my bookmarks etc set up for ease of use with the default browser and don't see the need to use a different browser for just one site. It needs fixing (or preferably reverting to the previous forum version which was so much better anyway).

    Why is it always Feed-Back, why can't it be Feed-Front?
    As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.

    Not sure if it was mentioned already, but I feel like polls kind of miss their point entirely if other forum threads just push them off the front page simply because people reply more on those. A poll is a poll, not a stage where everyone puts an additional explanation to their vote.

    It would be cool if the first three threads could be trending polls of that forum in addition to having a display-only-polls (or questions) function.

    Again, most if not all other forums have the ability to search in titles only, and all the other usual advanced things. Here, you search for something and get completely weird and useless results you cannot even filter by date.
    On the search results page, click the little drop down arrow in the search bar. It will give you an advanced search form.

    No, read my post again and very carefully. Also, there's no search in titles feature whatsoever.

    The advanced search function includes the ability to search for something in titles. You put your search object in the title box only and hit the search button. If that's not what you're looking for then you need to clarify what exactly you're referring to because that does seem to me to be a "search in titles feature". You can also set the date parameters and the search results will appear in date order. Note that this is after accessing the advanced search function.

    I have never found forum search engines that actually work. Your best bet is go to google and type "eso forums" then what you are looking for.

    I would love so much if we had an off topic section @ZOS_GinaBruno for players to chat to each other about common interests and become friends through that way that is not only eso.

    it would be great.

    Embedded images like this
    [img]http://www.someurl.com/image.jpg[/img]
    
    no longer display in Firefox after the latest forum update.

    Now you only see image.jpg in place of all images.


    EDIT: This turns out to be something with Firefox automatically setting things to HTTPS and then having the setting to block mixed content enabled.

    I'm not sure what is making it default things to HTTPS (does it in safe mode with no addons enabled), however you can type about:config in the search bar and after loading the configuration panel, search for security.mixed_content.block_display_content and double-click to disable it and images will load again.

    As long as it does not contain religion or politics. These topics can create a toxicity beyond measure.

    Then they'd get locked? Threads contain toxicity anywhere no matter what it is. It's also already on the forums

    There are plenty of other forums covering the sort of stuff that would be on an off-topic forum here, it would just be a time-consuming distraction for the community team and would serve little if any purpose. I'm glad they don't have one.

    How dare a community share their common interests with one another instead of having their posts removed for being "off topic" or "serving no relevance" as we see in every other thread these days.

    Not sure if it's forum related, but if I am signed in and perusing the forums and want to navigate from here (where I am signed in to my account) to the store, I should not have to sign in again. Please?
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    I've noticed in recent days that once I've posted a reply on the forum the draft doesn't always disappear. It has to be manually removed using the cog.

    Incidentally, I would love a "Clear" or "Delete" button below the draft comment alongside "Post reply", "Save draft", and "Preview".

    No sh.. the forum is slow as crap when on every load I see "Waiting for vars.hotjar.com", "Waiting for xxxgooglesomething", and something else. If you want to create the most user unfriendly and annoying place, make the site rely on external data that has to load every time.

    The two more evident flaws compared to other gaming and non-gaming forums, the ones I first noticed:

    - Going off topic (even considerably) is not a problem, it seems a common pattern around here.

    - Lot of discussions are not opened in the right section and seldom they are moved, combat and skills should be discussed in that section, everything related to the store in the store one etc., there are dedicated sections for a reason.
    Those sections have secondary relevance on this Forum since no one enforces the rule by closing the threads in order to make the point very clear.

    Well, they put the Participated button on the navigation bar but overall performance is still woeful. Slow, jerky and most of the time there's no scroll bar. All round it's a pathetic effort. Whatever the old forum's faults it worked.

    The language settings are broken. I use the International English setting but all the links are \en\ so I'm constantly having to reset it. Again and again and again.

    And performance is still GARBAGE. Honestly, does nobody at ZoS actually use this forum?

    The forum doesn't take you to first unread post of a thread when you click on it, but on last post instead.
    How anyone in his right mind can program it like this is beyond what I can understand.

    I said the forum was completely useless and I was correct.

    "Completely useless?" Why are you on the forum if it's "completely useless?"

    This forum is very useful for reading information on patches/changes to the game, and the pop-ups giving information on events are extremely helpful to those of us who wouldn't know about them otherwise.
