Why is this forum soooo buggy?

I can surf round every other forum (any web page in general for that matter) i visit just fine on both my work pc (which as a member of an admin team is beastly) and my laptop / pc at home (again, im pretty lucky to have good machines) yet when i come to this forum i cant use the icons next to last posts, i find it hard to navigate around in general, the page doesnt load, page doesnt load fully and its generally just terribley slow?

Is it just me or has the community accepted the fact that this forum is pants!?

**Procurator**

Have we accepted it? Yes. What else can we do? It sucks more than anyone can say. It's a disgrace to the profession of Web development and SOE's Web Presence team are the most incompetent 'professionals' I've ever witnessed (not to mention the department with the worst name ever).

But we can't do anything about it from our end.

I suggest we raise a petition to get it fixed then because this is terrible.

Ive never seen such a poor webpage/ forum from such a large company!

As a paying user of this website, the SOE Web Team's attitude towards the MxO website seems pretty disgusting. Virrago has already told us how he would like the website (making the News Page the main page), and Rarebit has sent them all the details they need to make a CQ leaderboard... nothing happens...

It cant be because they cant do it as Monolith didn't wrap the Sony Website Database in lasers, its because 'they have more important things to do' ("You do realise the red in the Everquest II logo has to be 1 shade lighter than THAT! CHANGE IT NOW!" SMILEY Or they just sit in an office doing nothing, and occasionally turn all the websites off for a while saying they are doing 'maintenence' as to make it look like they are doing something SMILEY

Either way, free forums work better than this, and it needs sorting.

I could not agree more, It's slow and buggy as... well nothing is more buggy than this is it?

I always found it REALLY slow especially with IE i recent made the move to Firefox and its faster but still shockingly rubbish. yet again MxO is the bottom of the list for SOE.

As customers we have the right to complain and see something done about it so why dont we? don't anyone tell me to be "happy with what we have"

Note: I realise that someone will now tell me to be "happy with what we have" and no its not clever.

Now are you talking about the website or just the forums? Because if your talking about the forums then I hate to say it but it's like this for all of the SOE games... we are all blessed with this wonderful forum program!

But if you are talking about the website... then ya... I agree SMILEY

I meant SOE's general attitude to MxO so i mean everything to do with it.

but as i only play MxO i wasn't aware that the other games used the same format for their forums, so thanks for that information

**Fickey**

Yep, all of SOE's games and a few other things have been converted to their custom in house made version of jForum. I can say that the forums today are a hell of a lot better than they were when they first released them but there are still things that could be worked on...

It kinda brings back memories of the "Unofficial" forum I started using vBulliten... it didn't last long but it was fun!

As a matter of fact, I think Infantry receives more monetary allowance than MxO...

That's funny... entirely false... but funny nonetheless.

We should be getting a Forum Update anytime in the next couple weeks (can't narrow it down more then that) that should alleviate some of your problems with the forums and some of mine as well.

As for the Web Page, I'm still pounding on that wall SMILEY

Just blame virrago, and everything will be okay!!

That sounds familiar.

Maintenance periods never result in anything. They're just Web Presence having a laugh. 'Make them think we're doing something!' they bellow across the tumbledown, cubicle strewn wasteland that is their office.

Anyway, good to hear you're still doing your best, Virrago. SMILEY

After 90 days you will get signature rights, and after 300 days you will get Avatar rights.
