[delete] Double post due to site lag

I sure am glad they made the forum switch *the night before* the game goes live, so theres *plenty* of time to deal with any performance issues when everyone pounds the site tomorrow to get DLC...:innocent:

Did they say they were going to can the other forums?  Because I was just on them about 1 hour ago, and now I tried to go to them and they are gone. LOL.

Don't like these forums that much. But oh well.

[Alodar]

Hmph!  New fangled forums.

I'm oooooold! And I'm not happy! And I don't like things now compared to the way they used to be.

All this progress -- phooey! In my day you had Bulletin Board Systems (BBS).
You connected over a phone line -- that's right a phone line.
None of this high falutin' DSL either.  We connected over 110 baud modems -- took us 5 hours just to open a picture. That's the way it was -- and we liked it!

High speed -- heh! High speed is for sissies.

Gosh darn new social sites just 'aint natural.
If I wanted to be social -- I'd go outside.
The reason I'm at my computer in the first place is because I'm anti-social.

Hmphh! Progress.


Grumpy old Alodar

Well, we're here now and there is no going back.



I'm none too happy about it either, but ...



Constant complaining about this one is not going to make it better.



We will have to make the best of it and let the moderators know what we believe will improve things here.



Mayhap we can make a difference.



I for one would like to see the left and right margins go away, or be greatly reduced, in order to make more room for these discussions, which is what I come here for.

[Orogun01]

To the old forums.

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me....

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see.







T'was Grace that taught...

my heart to fear.

And Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear...

the hour I first believed.







Through many dangers, toils and snares...

we have already come.

T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...

and Grace will lead us home.







The Lord has promised good to me...

His word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be...

as long as life endures.







When we've been here ten thousand years...

bright shining as the sun.

We've no less days to sing God's praise...

then when we've first begun.







"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me....

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see.

We're working to make these forums better, stronger, faster with more bells and whistles as we progress.  Hopefully you'll come to enjoy the Social Site as much as you enjoyed the old forums.

Let us not dwell in the past, but move forward into the light of the future hoping it is not the headlamp of an oncoming train.

You're angry face isn't as near as menacing as it was before

[Salz78]

I wouldn't mind these forums as much if I could post half the time, keep getting errors, limited connectivity... =(

R.I.P. original forums, I'll miss your superior formatting.

R.I.P our fallen comrade...you were much better on the eyes.

[redteamsucks]

not only do i keep getting errors, but it doesn't even REFRESH!!! I refresh, and everything is the same (topics saying "last post: 1 hour ago), and the good ole "open topic with 20 posts, but all it shows was the very first, and doesn't think anyone has posted"

[Jayross]

These forums are fine, this site clearly has a lot more features than the old one, so now I can click on someone and see their stats and how far they are in the story and stuff.



The poll section is cool too.



My only complaint is the formating in the quick reply.



Wait, testing testing



They are a bit slower because of increased traffic, but that should get fixed soon, once everyone starts playing the game instead of being on the forums.

[chizow]

Ya its a good thing Dragon Age isn't an MMO, based on this forum's server performance so far the game would've been an epic fail for sure if it were required for gameplay. Oh wait....they're funneling all the game code and cd key authentication through this site. LOL. Tomorrow is going to be a mess for sure....



Flipping a coin and waiting 10 minutes to see if this actually gets posted....

[foil-]

Another vote for the Dev filtering from the old forums. And also widening the format to use more screen realstate.

[McAdams]

The old forums are faster (hence better) as those did not have as much of the fancy features Bioware is trying to cramp into this one. As usage goes up, they will tweak the code to make it bearable. We are sacrificing speed for all the nifty features (blogs, groups, game progress tracking, etc) after all.

[redteamsucks]

holy crap i posted about 5 minutes ago and it's STILL not in this page...

Anyway to change the layout to wide aspect so that the actual forum content uses more than the middle 1/3 of my monitor? Its 2009, surely 16:9 and 16:10 are more common than 4:3 and 5:4 panels now?

+1 on that.

[Kiddeth]

yea this Social Site is horrid. odds are it's ran by EA.

[Shadow_Viper]

is much better than this "new" forum. Is the rest of the thread title. :innocent:

[Nosuchluck]

I think my main problem is all the little tidbits of stuff which aren't actually any use. What do I care if someone has an achievment or how far they've gotten ingame? Seems like those features are just slowing down everything else. I really just want a place to chat.

Hey Chris, would it be possible to suggest to the webheads  for an option in "My Content" that reverts these forums into a similar version of the older format?

[Napoleon1853]

So they did get rid of the other forum. Well, at least this means more of the community will be in one place I guess. However, this is bad I suppose for those who prefer the old forum.

[Diteron]

It would be nice if...



-The entire left margin including a picture of my avatar and all my options, etc. could be changed into a header or a footer, so the forum discussions can use the whole screen width.



-all the "hot topic" and other icons could be changed from these abstract paintings with flares of color into crisp non-eye straining icons similar to the old forum



-character backgrounds weren't all black... I'm sure I remember picking a lighted background... It appears all our avatars are lost in the same black void... this forum for example...

I loathe modernism.
