I like it! The only thing I miss is being able to see the most recent thread without having to click into each profession. But other than that, I think its great.

Ok, I just found the vebrose.. but... it still isn't the same old style, we've got all that non-relavent junk sitting there. Get rid of that stuff or give us another option so we can switch it back to the EXACT original format!!!

I want my subscribed threads and bookmarked forums at the top, what's the point with the feature then you need to scroll that much to see it.

Garva:


You just removed the recent links info on the bookmarks section so you could jump to the most recent message in that thread (ie the new message instead of the first page). Could you please put that back on, i loved that idea and found it very usefull.


Also, bookmarks up top

From fiddling with the options, I believe the following are needed:

1) A way to hide "top boards" or at least limit the number. For me, I don't browse servers that I'm not on, or professions that I don't play, so even though these boards are popular, they are useless to me.

2) A way to hide all friends, all bookmarks, etc. Setting it to zero shows ALL rather than none.

Freaked me out at first but after I changed a couple of the options, I kind of like it.


One thing I would say remove is the "Top Boards" section. That's pretty useless as most people know what board they want to look at and have no interest in what is the top board.


The rest of it looks good to me.

Hmm... It's more compact so that's nice.


In the left area (Forum overview)I thinkit needs more contrast between (forum) section headers and the actual sections. So I'm guessing no dark blue backgrounds there.

Not making it all so blue will go a long way in smoothing it up I think...


If you then keep the right section as it is, it will be better..I think


I just love the fact that you can display everything on such a small area now though, and the viewing options in the preferences of your profile. Overall, the boards are more easily accessible now.

Hint:


If you want to have your favourite boards on top, change in your preferences the board to "verbose" mode, then you have the possibility to float boards to the top. The floating boards will be shown on top of the board in compact mode as well.


Garva, how can we make boards "floating" on top in compact mode? An option in "board options" at least would be great, so we don't have to switch between compact and verbose mode.

Hide all users...and Hide top 10 boards.

You put those in and I will like it 100 percent after taking a bit to figure it out

Time for constructive (and destructive) comments.
Get rid of most recent users online (who cares about that)
Top Boards, well i'm not interested in everything Bria or Jedi (i guess if i was then it would be important - but i'm not, so would like ability to switch it off)
My server is set to starsider, so why don't i see starsider galaxy trade as one of the quick links for the galaxy trade ? (prolly because the new post count ain't high enough)
Why is the section with private messages called 'Notes'
Dev Tracker is not apparant any more
Anyway, can you get them to fix this damn post editor, as you can get style tags inserted into it by using the indent etc and then you can't post because of the forbidden style tags.

I agree with most of this - get rid of the top ten and expand the galaxy and profession lists.

overall, not bad


I want my bookmarks at the top. Often I flip between 3 different boards and I'll like to be able to access them quickly and easily without scrolling.

I like it, BUT I could care less what the top 10 boards are - does anyone? lol


I'd prefer to have my Subscriptions and Bookmarks at the top of the portal like before - they were how we customized the board before and now they are 4 screens downt he page and not prominant where they should be.


I'd like to see the most recent messages for at least the Game Updates section and probably Core Systems too, but I suppose the Dev Tracker can suffice for that anyway, as long as I keep up on the tracker daily anyway. I just fear the day I am gone for a week and have to 'catch up' hehe.


I'd prefer Professions were just a link, not a section - like before. I bookmark the professions I am interested in so the rest are just clutter.


Ditto on Galaxies and Trade - unless I bookmark them of course.


Why list Announcements in the forum listing and have its own section on the side? Redundant and unneccesary - remove the forum listing completely and maybe have a small link in the new Announcement section to the forum.


I love the new Announcement section, quick links, and info on the right side - has a real cool feel to it. I think it might work to move the 'Search' over there too - to clean up the left side listings some more.


A Friday Feature (part two please - hehe) detailing the new features and explainng the underused Subscriptions and Bookmark features might be in order too - I bet Lithium could provide a decent tutorial for ya'll.

Don't really care for it.


Although it looks nice you cannot browse new threads as easily as before I find myself clicking more links than usual to check up on forums I attend regularly.

I dont want subscriptions and book marks on the top, but on the side bar would be really sweet! So that they show up with no scrolling needed.

I am not happy about this ...

I miss "My Subscriptions" on the screen if i open the forum ... i have to scroll and scroll ... and the "news" about this threads have the highest priority for me ...


It is possible to incl. a "setting" for the forum-blocks?

for example: i wish me first the "My Subscriptions, than "Bookmarks" and than ... ... ...




- I support a rollback and keeping & balancing the old combat system.
...and making SWG a better place to be.
