This thread is ONLY for Forum bugs and suggestions. Only post if you are adding something, please. I'll start off with my list.
1. It's too hard to tell when you've completely read a thread or not. Unbold the threads you have completely read, like the Lith boards. 2. We NEED an EDIT button. 3. Divide the stickied threads from the regular threads. Icons aren't enough. 4. Bring back our old sig size. 5. Give us a column that gives us the number of how many replies in a thread that we have not read that is also clickable and takes us directly to the first reply that we have not read yet. 6. I, personally, liked my purple name. Can I have it back? The green matches the Character names too much. 7. There is no indicator icon for threads that you have replied in. I liked the green arrow (lith boards). 8. The Search function needs dire improvement. 9. The Last Message column in the Forum Index was better when it showed the last THREAD made, NOT the last REPLY to a thread made. 10. Where have our macros gone? 11. Why can't we have our nickname the same as our station pass? That was a stupid feature to begin with. Take it away...please. 12. There is no way to get back to the Forum Index when you are looking at a "Messages Posted by" thread. 13. I much prefer the term "Locked" instead of "Blocked" IBB (in before block) doesn't really work....not that I do that. 14. It needs more customization. ex. Thread views per page, replies per page, etc. 15. No one really cares about the views column (at least I don't). Replace it with the How many unread messages suggestion. 16. Censor is screwed up. It let damnit slip by yet censored a mental disability that begins with R and ends in a D. 17. The Trackers need some love. 18. Quoting needs dividers like the last boards. Right now it's hard to tell whats a quote and whats the actual post. 19. Handles that match the station name should be allowed. 20. Avatars may be too big which starts to look sloppy and unproffesional (just my personal opinion). 21. Preview post option needed (lith boards). 22. We need to be able to quote someone after you've clicked the Reply button instead of having to go back to the thread and click the quote button. Just put a Quote button in the editor. 23. Just forget about the sticky icon, it's not enough. Seperate it with a prominent line from the stickied thread and the regular threads. 24. We need lines in the thread view so you don't have to follow it with your eyes to get to the other side of the screen. People with widescreen monitors will be thuroughly annoyed. 25. Take away the "World Forums" link in the Forum Index and just put the World Forums on the front page. It's just another extra click that nobody needs. 26. "Forum Index" and "Top" are the exact same thing. Why bother? 27. To they take away a clikc for the abilities forums but add one for the World Forums? Seriously rethink that. 28. When you click the Back button on your browser, it does not update the forums to tell you that you have completely read a thread, unlike the lith boards that updated it when you clicked Back. 29. It sometimes looks sloppy without alternating colors for different threads (lith boards).
That's what I could come up with on short notice. Please, add more. And yes, I took some of these thoughts from other posts, so props goes out to you, whoever you are.
Not sure if it's in there or not, but if your subscribed to a thread and you receive an email from noreply@soe.sony.com you can see all the people's emails that also received the update that that thread has been posted in.
Argh, I think you beat me to this... Oh well. Good game. I concur with all those (Not understanding th Station Pass as your Nickname one though--My name is fine).

Well that's the thing. Your handle can't be the same as your Station Name. So if my station name was BillyBob, then my Forum handle couldn't be BillyBob, it would force me to pick something else.
Some more glitches:
1. Trackers dissapear when in the General section and all sections like this. 2. That stupid bug that doesn't let you see replies unless you post something is pretty annoying. Grr.
So, is your station name PhroG?
OMG my edit button :whimpers:
and... and... SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGS!!!! I seriously do NOT want to re-size sigs that have 25 layers...
and yea... the widescreen people would appreciate some lines or something instead of floating thread names...
I'm not crazy about the whole "everyones email address is in the sony reply to thread notification"... but I'd like the rest of the list to be take care of first, lol.
