Hey all,
rather than complaing I want to make some suggestions, many people already posted about problems in different threads. The idea to make a new forum isnt that bad...however it should be an improvement, so lots of things need a fix:

- Search option: no longer there..but a main feature, needs to be here really
- Sorting: sort option are a good idea, but 1. the default should be "last reply" and 2. if there isnt a reply yet the "last reply" should be equal to "date posted"
- Links: View Empire img link doesnt work at all, the PM link is confusing - it works but always tells me server would be "Normal"
- Hopefully the old forum threads will be moved into Archive...not a big deal
- Color/Font Scheme: Either use something different (using the forum in the past gave a rest for the eyes from this dark background) or at least make it to the larger font used here and leave topics in some white/gray instead of cyan
- Forum call from game: I never understood why it replaces the current gaming page...ever used "open link in a new window", I don`t know how other people think - but I don`t want to "leave" the game while reading here...so it could be opened in a new window by default (and theres no need for "back to game" even it would work...). As the new one is more integrated into the game scripts - would be fine to suppress those unneeded "Refresh/Reload"-messages in game while reading posts...
- The forum itself knows what server the poster is playing on..so why not making it visible? It`s even there in the expanded chat...

Hopefully I didn`t miss too much...but one thing left:
As often there`s lack of information - what are known issues, is someopne working on it?....No wonder there are complaints all the time :S

Regards

why have you never applied ot be a guide?

you`ve a wonderfully organised approach to most things on the game, I`ve seen you here since I began, first I`ve noted your name was when ChatoicNeutral gave you credit for fidning some of the artifact formulas. From there you`ve made a popular battle calculator which i dont` understand, lol but I know plenty of others who like using it.

and here you`ve listed precisely what is need on the Forum

Well some of those are already present in UC`s but i think the last reply thing is the best idea there, it`d be incredibly useful plus it`d help us bumping old threads that are important e.g. artifacts etc.
