Oh, and your sig is limited to a specific pixel height - a lot of the longer ones will need to be edited.


I have 3 suggestions there:
- Give us some more pixels
- Give us a WYSIWYG signature so we might know how much to cut off. (except that doesn't quite work.)
- Shorten our signature lengths to the exact size so we don't have to worry about getting them cut off.

Minus those few little things, this new place is epic. :D

SHINNY buttons would make this way better. Blue text is like 1991 internet jazz....

Oh ya, and my cool little [hr] tag doesn't work anymore. I think the list of tag items is also nice to see since not everyone know what tags they can use.

I disagree. The navigation is in a different place (you don't have right navigation, but you can still get to any forum just by using the forum drop down). The help text needs work (which is why the markup is probably missing). And you still only have 10000 characters for typing because it is the same underlying forum software for the most part, and 10000 is plenty.

Oh, and your sig is limited to a specific pixel height - a lot of the longer ones will need to be edited.


So we're given 500 characters for a sig, but you cut half of it off?!?!

What The Hell?!?!!?

That makes NO sense at ALL!

I like the new website. It was sort hard to read the story about the new website. Bungie needs to be more careful of blocks of text now.

EDIT: And the sigs need to have more space. 250 characters aren't enough.

I favor this new design more than the previous one. It's neater and easier to navigate, though I continue to receive error messages. In order to post this, I actually had to sign out, go to this page, sign back in, then click on reply. Otherwise I'd just get some crazy error message that I'd hardly understand. But most of all, I dislike how the site keeps track of everything. My Gamertag, how many games of Halo 2 I've played, etc. Yeah, it is kinda cool, but I don't want random members of this community sending me Friend Requests. Is there any way I can get rid of that? Under the menu of Personal Customization (that as near to mark as I can remember), I selected everything to be hidden. Yet even after that, my profile still showed all the crap I don't wish to be revealed. I've tried multiple times, too! Can someone please assist?

I don't like the navagation anymore. I just scrolled up to hit "Bungie Community" and one of the navi boxes came down and I hit that on accident, and I was left wondering WTF!?


And the forums should go back to there old names, like the Septagon, the Library, etc.

2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

I'm not really liking how it's so stretched out. If feels like I could get lost in this place.

I think I posted this in the wrong thread, so I'm reposting it here (where it belongs)....

Problems with the site:
Total Medal Count on the game summary page....really pointless unless it's separated by individuals or by team at least.
Game List - need to shade every other line differently....kind of ugly with the bug chunk of gray.
Friends list - get rid of the popup window. That's just damn annoying to have it open a separate window. Same for the game viewer.
Browser Compatibility - well, now I can create a new topic in the forums in Firefox....but the graphics need some work (page navigation in the forums).

I have 3 major complaints.

1. Sigs moved so they are no longer meaningful. Sigs were one thing that allowed me to quickly identify a person.

Then I'm afraid you're going to have to identify people differently. Signatures were taking up too much space on the old b.net, they were drowning out the content of people's posts; far from being meaningful, I saw most of it as spam.

Besides, don't you think it's a bit shallow to identify a person based on their signature, rather than the content of their posts and their behavior?

Yes I would like to see some buttons, not just words, but I am more interested in functionality, and groups. I want to see what new admin tools there are for the chapters.

We aren't absurd. There's just so many things to complain about.

It would've been better to stay with the old forum.

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

While the new site is awesome I have one complaint. Everything on someones post mashes together. Can we make a bar to divide the profile and buttons away from the post.

  • 03.20.2007 1:21 PM PDT

Width, width, width. Other than that well done guys.

I want buttons...not text links in the forums
What they could (should) have done was to put this up as a beta site and work out the bugs before replacing the old one....

I find that the text size is unadjustable by internet explorer annoying. =\

YEAH, PWN THAT FEETUS!

My complaint is that when I go to check my Halo 2 Stats, by going to the Drop Menu, I don't see my stats. It is just some random person's stats, and it is not the same person everytime. That could be a big problem.

I have a couple complaints on usability. I can't see what I'm typing into the reply box. Probably because my desktop colors are dark, but my text shouldn't be. Black text on a dark blue background is nearly impossible to read. Have to keep pressing CTRL+A to see anything (screenshot. There is more text after the highlighted text but it's hard to see).

Also, this one really bugs me. I have a kind of suck computer and I can type a sentence in like four seconds but each character shows up one by one really slow like maybe three characters per second. Don't know if that's the character counter or what. Mad crazy slow.

Everything else is fine so far though, like regular browsing and stuff.

I'm using Firefox 2.0 by the way.

Hot Hot Hot!

Yeah you can use the form drop down but I have to scroll all the way to the top of the page to get to it. That takes time, negating the time gained by removing buttons and such. I think this actually takes longer to navigate now.

Sure it may be quicker to load (noticeably, I might add) but it takes a hell of a lot longer to navigate because I can't get to the other forums/my profile/the home page without scrolling up to the top of the page.

Edit: Also, is the inability of the site to scale down to a smaller window size done purposefully? Because this makes it a real hassle for anyone with other windows open to use the site.

I must say, I enjoy the direction the profile section is going as well as the stats pages and some of the other random pages I've looked at. I also think that in time I will enjoy the signature placement.

Real Custom Games - Breaking the Halo Cookie Cutter One Gametype at a Time

Posted by: GoldenSniper456
He's just a genius in the computer and game world. Enough said.

I have a few complaints, but over all I think it's a greatlt designed site

1) This reply box I'm using looks weird with the white compared to the rest of the site

2) The total medals column in stats is anooying, I'm as a user generally more interested in how many medals each person got rather then the total. It's just annoying as you can only see howmany medals a person got in each rather then thir total. Perhaps you could have the old way, but with a total column. Actually a total column would be great for all the stats, it would be great to see how many total kills and such. So I say get rid of the total medals section, but add a total column for all parts of the game stats.

3) Peoples sigs get cut off by the new system. I've seen it complained many times here, and well it's annoying.

4) This reply box is now shaking every letter I type. Make it STOP!!! (happens when at bottom of box)

5) The game viewer is a pop-up window program. When launching an application in a pop-up the user should NEVER have to scroll, it's just unethical!

6) Again wih the game viewer. I want the option to see all kills, not just those that relate to a specific player. I want to hit all and see ALL kills. Maybe click again to turn off the kill arrows.

7) Having to scroll through the objective path's is annoying, especially in games such as 4-way CTF. Maybe some sort of system to choose a specific one. Anything but scrolling through all the paths only to click the wrong thing and have to start over.

That's it for now. I love the way it looks, and the noticable speed difference. I can't wait until the groups are back up.

  • 03.20.2007 1:46 PM PDT

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

This seems much more disorientating. The pages seem to take longer to load while selections seem quite limited to clicking on arrows and waiting for the set to load.

Aparently you didn't notice the phrase "One way" in my post. Of course sigs are not how I usually identified people. However if I was just scrolling through quickly sigs helped me to more quickly identify which member made the post. I don't see how sigs took away from the "quality" of a post. No one was making you read them, and not all of them were spam. Also I know that Achronos has stated that they aren't coming back, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop wanting them back.
