<description>&lt;DIV&gt;I&apos;m guessing here, but do forum only accounts exist and if so, do they actually cost anything?&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>

<title>Re: New Forum Likes and Dislikes: Redux</title>
<description>&lt;DIV&gt;forums are forums.... what sony needs to be fixing is the buddy list.... with aim we could type &quot;/ga name&quot; to make a group.. and this was simple and easy for factions to organize and group players on their buddy lists&amp;nbsp; such as factions, orgs, hitlists etc..&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;so SOE, UPGRADE THE BUDDY LIST with:&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&quot;/GA&amp;nbsp; &amp;lt;Name&amp;gt;&quot;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Good day&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>

&lt;br&gt; &lt;P&gt;Ok I haven&apos;t read the previous posts (too much reading scares me), so if somebody&apos;s already said this you can&apos;t yell at me.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;The Rating System&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;I think it&apos;s somewhat unstable considering how somebody could hold a grudge against you and start ranking you a 1 every post.&amp;nbsp; I find it to be pretty much useless, but I&apos;m sure all those Awakened&apos;s (is that the highest level?) out there are feeling proud.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Forum Decorum&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;Hmm....maybe it&apos;s just me, but these new forums look awfully bland in comparison to the originals.&amp;nbsp; These are the style you&apos;d see in one of those video game fansites that&apos;s made unprofessionaly.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;New Features&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;Well all the new stuff is defintely a bonus.&amp;nbsp; I think having avatars is cool (somebody suggested we have our UI pics in them instead of misc. art), but they could use a little Matrixy theme.&amp;nbsp; You can do a lot more text editing in posts too, which is also an obvious bonus.&amp;nbsp; There&apos;s a bunch more stuff but I won&apos;t post it all.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;P&gt;There&apos;s my 2 $info&lt;/P&gt;</description>

<description>i&apos;d like it if my signature worked.&amp;nbsp; i keep getting this error
&lt;br&gt; that says i can&apos;t use simple HTML in my signature.&amp;nbsp; SOE also says
&lt;br&gt; that they can&apos;t help me b/c it&apos;s server-side and SOE doesn&apos;t run the
&lt;br&gt; boards.&amp;nbsp; and lithium (the guys who host the boards) has yet to
&lt;br&gt; respond to me. &lt;br&gt;

<description>&lt;i&gt;The Rating System&lt;br&gt;I think it&apos;s somewhat unstable considering how somebody could hold a grudge against you and start ranking you a 1 every post. I find it to be pretty much useless, but I&apos;m sure all those Awakened&apos;s (is that the highest level?) out there are feeling proud.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Actually as best I can tell, &quot;Controller&quot; is the highest rating. After someone went through 1 starring mine, and several other&apos;s posting history, our ratings dropped to &quot;Awakened&quot;. Others have now either dropped to, or risen to &quot;operative&quot; which seems to be just below controller. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But that raises the other reason why this rating/level system is useless, no one has been told in any official capacity which rank is what and what it means! It just seems all so random right now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for the &quot;plainess&quot; of these boards, I like it. They load faster. But, other people should be given the choice of having a bunch of graphical bells and whistles if that&apos;s what they want. In fact, I wouldn&apos;t mind the boards being plainer still so I could read them quickly while using a lower connection speed (sometimes I get stuck on a really old connection &gt;_&gt;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But these boards should all be about choice. The options are there (for other schemes) they just need to be created. I would also like to be able to turn the avatars off as that too would cut down the loading time... But I don&apos;t recall seeing that option anywhere yet.</description>

<description>I&apos;m already used to these forums from SWG and like there I would like them to use the whole width of my screen.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt; Else I&apos;m quite happy and hope the search will work a bit more stable than on the SWG boards.&lt;br&gt;

<description>&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier New&quot;&gt;I&apos;m sure that some must have
&lt;br&gt; already mentioned spoiler tags but I&apos;ll request them again just
&lt;br&gt; incase.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;d also like to see local time tags so I don&apos;t have to
&lt;br&gt; translate PST time to EST time.&amp;nbsp; I also don&apos;t think the board is
&lt;br&gt; to plain.&amp;nbsp; I log on to read, not be distracted by the other
&lt;br&gt; elements.&amp;nbsp; Just my preference though.&lt;br&gt;

<title>Re: New Forum Likes and Dislikes: Redux</title>
<description>I do like the idea of a rating system, though as others have said, the
&lt;br&gt; one in place is not really useful. I&apos;d like to see something along the
&lt;br&gt; lines of the user-moderation/karma system they use on Slashdot to
&lt;br&gt; prevent abuse (and therefore actually give the ratings some meaning).
&lt;br&gt; Once something like that&apos;s in place, the ability to filter out
&lt;br&gt; low-rated messages would be nice as well (so we can at least weed out
&lt;br&gt; the &quot;OMG sHuT uP N3bZ0R U R T3h sUx0x0r&quot;-type posts).&lt;br&gt;

<description>The rating system is pointless, as many have stated before, and makes posts look too cluttered.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt; If at all possible, it would be nice to replace the icons we have now
&lt;br&gt; with the class ability icons from the game such as Gunslinger, Kung Fu
&lt;br&gt; Grandmaster, Master Knife Thrower, etc. I would even volunteer to do
&lt;br&gt; these icons in whatever format desired.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt; Keep up the good stuff.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;i&gt;How do you change Forum nicks?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You buy a new copy of the game. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Or in other words, as forum accounts are tied to your CD key, you cannot change it.</description>

<description>&lt;DIV&gt;The rating system is bunk. They had the same thing when SWG first started up, but over time as too many people abused it, they took it away.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Some Matrix-esque forum icons would be nice intead of the generic ones that are on now.&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;This may or may not be relevant, but you know what I think would be really great? The introduction of close combat hand to hand weapons. Like knives, blackjacks, swords, jo staves and the like. makes things a little cooler to be able to flip around off a buliding and crack a man in the head with a six foot stick, y aknow what I mean?</description>

<description>&lt;P&gt;eep, looks like everyone had their say months ago.&amp;nbsp; since i am back and am now back to trolling when on the road for work i suppose i&apos;ll pitch in my two cents:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;P&gt;very functional, no complaints on that end.&amp;nbsp; like having spell check (though i rarely remember to use it!) and the whole tool bar there with each reply.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; i also like the way the boards are set up and&amp;nbsp;how i&amp;nbsp;can see all the general topics before going to the vector boards.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;P&gt;however, i do think there are probs asthetically, and i can&apos;t even put my finger on what it is.&amp;nbsp; (yeah, i&apos;m a big help lol)&amp;nbsp; it just doesn&apos;t have the matrixy feel... is the green a different shade?&amp;nbsp; oh well.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;P&gt;keep plugging away at the important stuff in game and keep silly suggestions like mine on the backburner.&lt;/P&gt;
