I cant find "server status" anymore.

Why are you trashing the users own pages? It is an unacceptable approach that the administration voids access to the users own creations without any notification in advance.

What are you talking about, I missed something here I think.

Why did you remove "Mark all Read" ?

I think they posted earlier in this thread it was for technical reasons or something and they're planning to bring it back, not 100% sure on that though I could have imagined it. :P

Just so long as they put it somewhere I don't keep accidently hitting.
O:)

I kind of miss "Best of."

i think the new layout is much better and i dont understand why people are so annoyed about the multiple laguage issue i just read past the bits thats not english not hard realy and least not forget its a eu server and eu forum:)

@Aldrorius I'm not entirely sure that users deliberately avoid the staff informative posts, nor the Known Issue threads, though personal experience leads me to to think that it is only if and when they have an issue they tend to swing that way.
Also threads that are of the same nature should be merged, moving them to another board without a notification is unheard off. Deleting a users post is a last available action and should only occur if the post/topic is of a nature not in line with the current forum ruling.

@ZOS_AlanG I sincerely/sadly* must say that the answer was not a surprise/revolution* nor that it elevated the readers insight as to the reasoning behind the administrative action. And so since there was nothing new under the great blob in the purple haze above, I feel inclined/intrigued* to approach this from a different angle: Does ZoS approve of removing users topics/post without notifying them of their content being marked inaccessible for their current permission level? In connection to this, that is if/when such action have been taken, can the user be given a complete copy of their creation by request?
NB: This is not meant as a flaming/furry* comment, but rather stemming from a user whom still is a little puzzled/confuzed* of the administrative decisions regarding the site. If its not wanted to address such delicate intelligence openly, a PM or E-Mail may satisfy equally, really, yours truly is that easy to satisfy. Then again we, as the silly meat-bots** we are, surely are entitled to ignore/praise* as it pleases.
*Delete which ever seems inappropriate.

@ExiledKhallisi Somehow I believe its an available package, moderately modified, though I can't quite recall where I've seen it before... aH!! Marvel Heroes uses that format too, its based on the http://vanillaforums.com/ me thinks. The width of the post window (along with the rest) should be a percentage (if possible) of the browsers current dimensions and not a fixed 642px iirc.

Excellent improvements, and thank you for listening and taking what us players have to say, at least those that convey ideas in a civil and respectful manner; all other types of posts should be totally ignored or better yet - instantly deleted.

Hi there!

I was one who very early, in April I think, "suggested" quite harchy that the forums needed to improve on several points. The main was to separate English / French / German, so when you clicked your language at the top, you only saw english for example.

Someone stated that you can not do that because of legal reasons within EU.
Is this true? Then we simply have to live with that. I just like to hear this info from a DEVS

The DEVS news section is great!

Also you have proven that you listen to us with the new "general section".

And I have changed my mind a bit. I been browsing forums longer then I've played games. And after you get sort of used with this style, it IS nice to have an ESO style type of forum and not a copy from somewhere else, even if I agree the structure could use "some" improvement.

I'll take it back that I'd like to see another type of forum. Keep working on these. It actually adds to another point that makes ESO Unique.

I do have a question regarding the "points" and "stars" we get. I understand the basic that it will show how active a poster is or not. Is there any other reason for them?

Another suggestion thats been going around is to add another button like "agree" with "disagree". Is this something you are considering, or would such a button server no purpose?

Thanks for listening.

MAN!

Do you guys give any positive feedback? Do you complain IRL everything all the time? You gain more with positive feed back than negative. If someone all the time nags everything you do, how do you feel about it. Even dogs are trained with positive feedback, human does not differ from that.
Did you ever learn the you'r own way of seeing things isn't the automatically the right one? There is a difference giving an suggestion and saying that, this my opinion is the only right way to proceed.
And the language issue. Open your narrow mind a bit, get outside of you'r comfort zone, go out and see life. Then you just might notice that English isn't the only language in the world.

It's a way of seeing things, not always demanding but giving.

I agree with you. Its way to much negativity.

But you ask for more positive feedback. I'll give you:

@joukomalkakorpieb17_ESO this is a thread for making the forums better, there is little point in us only giving positive feedback if there are issues with the functioning of the forums. We're not being negative, we're pointing out flaws in the current working of something so they might be improved upon.

There has been some positive comments from ZOS regarding forums changes though so looking forward to seeing them. I want that dev tracker update so bad... :P

We need a specific bug forum. Just for bug reports.

Perhaps a Sub Forum section in the Customer Service Forum?

@ZOS_MichelleA‌ Preliminary suggestions:



The structure currently limits the user overall experience and at worst will limit the user happy-browsing-time. The width of the actual area that can be interacted with is not justifiable since the unused area does not add any contents to the browsing experience.

Navigation Bar/Menu: Shifting this to the right is an illogical approach to me that the user is forced to switch from one side of the window to the other. Design-wisely this is a no-no that it breaks with uniformity of the page layout.
Extending the Navigation bar with the content from the Categories panel as well as having the Categories logically named (they already are to the extend of what is needed) as well as compiling the various categories with a dropdown menu respectively would eventually free up space that can be given to the Topic/Comment area.

Recent Discussions: This is redundant to have lingering on each and every page the client opens. Most of the content are available via the users Profile anyway.

Announcements: These messages, even though that the user can remove those via the little "x" is obscuring the actual content of the page, e.g. dropping the Topic etc. hundreds of pixels down the page. The only logical reason for this is to assure the user actually reads it. Its redundant in the sense that the data needs only be located "Official News & Patch Notes". If and when the user is in need or doubt of certain content regarding these intelligence, the user will surely head to the said page in their quest of enlightenment.

New Discussion: This block could be moved above the search window and set on the same line as the title-bar. This will free up space for the Content Window.

Content Window: Id est the Topic window. This window, as well as the commenting area etc., that are constrained by the value of the contents window, needs to be much wider. Currently it is a cramped area, both to read as well as to comment within. There is no logic in constraining the user with a limited area, that it consequently will cause he user to spend more time browsing, e.g. page amounts will go up the tighter the commenting area is. It neither is justifiable in connection with having large images etc. displayed since the site truncates the content to the width. Only reason I can see to have the contents in such a narrow area is for easy of transfer to mobile devices, but alas, are the majority of the users on those devices whilst on the site?
While we are on the subject of confined spaces, the Commenting area itself is shifted to the right in order to make use of... the users avatar, which cuts below the commenting area. The comment area needs equal spacing on both sides, and have the area run below the users avatar.

Only visible hint to that is the Green snake logo on the topic title in the boards, though its not the same as with PoE or other sites...

I see that, I click it. It takes me to a page in the thread, but doesn't take me to the first post by an Admin. I tried on multiple threads, it just takes me to a page with no responses from anyone from ZOS most of the time. Not even sure on the significance of the page it takes me to.

Thank you for the info, phaneub. Have you tried the staff post jump in multiple browsers, and/or have any sort of extensions that may be prohibiting a post jump?
