I don't like how the reply buttons are only links and not pictures.

I just want the groups to be online!

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

I like everything as it is now. I can't wait til groups are re-opened. The New Hawtness is awesome! I still miss the ole' B.net though.

YEAH, PWN THAT FEETUS!

The bolding of words is hardly noticeable. This entire sentance is bolded, but it is ridiculously hard to tell. Beef it up Bungie.

Also, when there is a poll, the title of the thread changes to the title of the poll. Something I posted yesterday changed names, so the name of the thread doesn't make sense.

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?

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.

They didn't take away from the posts, and yes you didn't hav to read sigs, but they did take up space, meaning more effort to scroll, more to sift through to find what you want, longer pages, and more pread out content.

Maybe it is just my screen, but I do have a hard time telling the difference.

Bungie definitely did tone the bold down two notches...Italics too....

EDIT: Just wanted to see what else changed.

I'd like for there to be a link to My Saved Threads in either the Forums dropdown menu or the box with the messages and "Link your gamertag".

Sorry I don't have time to read this entire topic so I don't know if this has been mentioned already or not, but the one design flaw I have noticed is that the tooltips that appear on the drop-down menu links at the top of the page appear on top of the first item in the menu, making it annoying to read. I think it would be best to remove the alt/title attribute altogether on those images.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

It makes perfect sense, considering that the character limit counts non-visible text (link link urls).

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 have another complint/critisism/suggestion.

8) To get to my bookmarks, I must first navigate through my profile page. That's just inefficient. There's plenty of room under the message center link to include a bookmarks/saved pages link. One click rather then an extra menu navigation and an extra page load.

I Don't have too many complaints actually. But the new forums do seem somewhat streached, or wide. But it just takes some getting used to.

* More graphics like the fancy buttons(reply, edit post, etc). But I'm sure they are working on that.
* More avatars to go along with.
* More customizable pages, almost like myspace except without music, comments etc to save bandwidth and such.
* Not sure but, did we get new Group themes? Hope so. Or that's something to work on.
* Bring the search back up when it's ready. Make it better!!! More specifics and accuracy.
* Did we get any new textmark ups?

I am a Floodian

Also, who else thinks this place looks a bit like... oh every other forum out there, and even some websites. Maybe its just me, but I think the place looks UGLY and uninspired.

New suckness thankyou

Oh, and that cool little bar that stayed at the bottom no matter what, as well as top. That would be a good idea.

I think that we can trace the differences in viewing bold typeface down to a member using an LCD and whether they have "ClearType" enabled or disabled.

Without ClearType, bolding is more noticeable than it was previously (at least to my eyes). With ClearType enabled, it is hard to tell if it is bolded or not.

To enable/disable ClearType in Windows XP, right click on the desktop, select properties-appearance-effects-use the following method to smooth the edges of screen fonts. The two choices are Standard and ClearType.

Try it yourself and see which you prefer.
