Here is my list.
Add the ability to post scripts in a separate window, like the old forums had.
Add the ability to stay logged in forever. maybe its my browser settings, but it keeps forgetting I already logged in.
Make the font for the posts bigger, come on I am now old and blind from playing NWN so much, be nice to us old people and help us to see what gets posted.
Allow us to pick and choose what forums we see when we log in.  Like the old forums had.
Allow us to transfer our old logins, and keep our Registration here, some of us, not me, but some have lost their CD keys and the only place they are is on the old forum. Part of the great thing about NWN is some of us have been playing it, as well as a member of the old forums for almost a decade now, it would be nice to show how long we have been playing hte game..
When the old forums are archived, please post a link to the arhcived same topic in the new topic. And while not about these forums, please make the search the archive ability better than the old.

I am sure there are many more, feel free NWNers, nows the time to make these right for us, the community.

Some good suggestions, I especially second the ones about scripting windows and bigger fonts.

Other things that have been suggested already:
- Give CEP its own forum again, instead of mixing it with "Custom Content".
- Let "Persistant Worlds & Multiplayer" be the new "Ye Olde Tavern" and replace "Guilds & Registry" (a name which has always been the cause of much confusion) with "Server Admin" (in case such a forum is requested by PW administrators to discuss the technical stuff).

Better pics to choose from and the ability to upload our own.

To make the font larger, go to Profile -> Edit Profile and pick the Large Font theme under Site Themes.

I did that snowbug, but the large font is not big enough. I am old..

[olivier leroux]

Still a little better than the default one though, so I vote for more helpful advisors like Snowbug!

Got another one, the ability to upload screenshots to the album. Tried it, and it doesnt recognize the file extention.

.tga format images can be opened by programs such as Adobe Photoshop and GIMP (the latter of which is entirely free and as I recall open source) to convert to conventional formats. There are a bunch of converters around, but to my mind it's always preferable to use a fully fledged editor, as they always come in handy somewhere down the line.

Need a button for "read unread posts" or "read posts since last visit" or something like that. Sorry if it's there already and I didn't see it.

[pkpeachykeen]

They need to allow bigger screenshots. A decent-res shot (1024x768) is usually well over the size limit, I've had to downsize a few so far.

Code tags with syntax highlighting (or just code tags).



They also should've just used phpBB3. Forums, addons, plugins, stable, not cramped, themes... Hopefully they can reimplement most of those features here.

Totally agree...and yes...I have the same problem.

Totally agree here as well.

However...I found a link (in the breadcrump text) that leads directly to the NWN1 forums....that helpes a bit....but still yes...having them more easily separated is wanted...

Totally agree. The only way the current setup could work is if all thread titles pertaining to CEP be marked with CEP...but guess how many can can obide to that...

I don't agree to that actually. I think that change is for the good. Now communities for "something NWN:ish" can be in the guilds section and if the community is formed around a specific PW then the Persistent Worlds section is for thoose.

I definately don't think Guild & Registry should be replaced with Server Admin at least...they are not even remotely similar...

I know they're not similar, I only suggested that because "PW Admin" apparantly got lost in the move and at least it seems to have been used for technical questions about running a server more than Guilds & Registry was used for any guild topics. I don't quite understand what you mean by communities for "something NWN:ish", how such a forum should look like and if there's a large audience for it. However, I'm neither a PW administrator nor into guilds myself, as long as the confusion about where to post about PWs is ended, anything is fine by me, even a Guilds forums.


At the moment  though chaos still reigns.

[SuperFly_2000]

Ahh ok...well yes...the Server Admin section would be good to have back.

It is probably not necessary to remove any of the other sections to do that I hope...


For me it is perfectly clear what is supposed to be in the Persistent Worlds section...I mean it is even called Persistent Worlds...I don't know how it can get more clear than that. NWN2 has had that setup in their forums forever...

I think if you have some sort of NWN:ish community (thats NOT a PW) then you can post it in the Guilds and Registry section....

I posted a big sign in the Guild and Registry section...so hopefully they will see it. Probably they are posting there because of old habits and not bothering to look further down in the forum sections.

I think they post about PWs there because that was the only known function of "G&R" on the old boards and it's sounds like home to them. We currently have two forums that seem to serve the same function and even though you rightfully pointed out there's a new PW forum, we have not officially settled yet which is the "right" one to advertise your PW in. Some post PW advertisements there, some here, and people who want to make a new post about PWs will notice that and be forced to pick one side at random or based on the number of posts or the decision of people they know. So far no side can rightfully claim their choice is the only legit one. That's what I'd call confusion. What's perfectly clear to one might not be the same to another.

The ability to change one's SubNetwork when editing a profile to something other than Dragon Age. Profile - Edit Profile Information

This feature will show all activity for that particular network when you return to the social site, so you only see that group's activity.

Currently, there is no option for Neverwinter Nights or even the new Mass Effect 2.

FP!

While changing a Pic file from one to another is easy, I think that the website the company uses for its forums, should in fact allow for the file extentions its products actualy use. If I want to upload a screenshot from a NWN game, why do I have to change its file extention to show it in the NWN forums!?! Seems like the forums don't respect the game their about. Just an opinion sure.

I think it's because the forum does not handle TGA, so you have to convert it to a more appropriate and forum friendly format.

TGA is a non-standard (for the web) image format primarily used in 3d graphics, and more importantly one that can't be handled by browsers - so to facilitate TGA image upload Bioware would have to somehow implement some kind of specialist server side image converter for the format using php or equivalent, which I can't imagine being likely to happen any time soon. Honestly, it seems a minor inconvenience at most, to me, though I realize my background in game art might bias me somewhat.

*cough* incidentally NWShader lets you choose what image format you want NWN screenshots to be saved in *cough*

How about pulling over the old "Joined On" dates from the original boards for those of us who were there?

A small item to be sure, but a good way to keep a sense of long time community.

[olivier leroux]

The options to shape your profile seem a bit limited, especially for a social site. If I'm not mistaken the only field where you can freely write some additional info is "Biography" and even that is cut off after a few lines. Can't post any working links either, just display the link address. Are there any good workarounds? I'd be much more interested in what people do in the NWN community and in the gaming world than what their real life name and biography but it seems for that you can just check general categories that lead to themed groups, not dispay any personalized and explanatory information with links. Of course, you can post links in your signature, but there's no space for explanations there either... This is a bit problematic considering most standardized options cater more to DA etc. than to NWN.

Can't we just go back to the old forum:wub:? 
Please?
No avatar I could rely to. No CEP hideout.
No CD keys...
I didn't join today either, but on the 29 Mar 2007.
And I always hated this "Modified less than a minute ago" warning! 

Sorry, this place ain't my home.
What? Oh, okay,  I wait until it gets better. Fast...

I'm not too comfortable with it either but it's getting better by the day. Yesterday there wasn't even a jmlzemaggo here, just figure how we must have felt!
