Aye, I did. Nothing's zoomed in. No other site but this one.
Am I going mental? I must be.
This is what I'm getting, tell me if it matches your own

Are you using Chrome? If you zoom in on one page it'll apply to other pages from the same site domain, but not other websites. If there's a magnifying glass with a plus on the right side of the address bar only when you're on the BioWare forum, that's what is happening.
Nah, using Safari.
Edit- Fixed it, just had to close the tab and open a replacement. S'all good, carry on.
Hey guys!
Here's a link to our latest list of feature additions! Hope you like them and please let us know what you think.
Cheers,
Jessica and Jesse

Are you guys bringing back the feed?
Aren't I the detective? You might even say I'm beyond two souls, whatever that means!
Seriously though, love that the feed has returned. I'd like to see the ability to interact with it added. Being able to comment in the feed without having to click links, etc. Maybe bigger lettering would be nice. But overall I'm glad its back. Thanks!

Suggestion - A dev tracker like what they use on the SWTOR forums, check this out, it is one of the best dev trackers I have ever seen. http://www.swtor.com.../devtracker.php

Agreed. It is pretty damn good.

I'd like a "Hug Allan Schumacher" button placed at the start of any thread Allan participates in that when pressed, results in a GIF of Allan hugging the screen with some clever dialogue to accompany it
That can expand to other moderators/developers, I'm just afraid that with some buttons we may instead be met with a GIF of a slap to the face, a suspicious glare, or a sarcastic stare with the text, "*forum member* pls" at the bottom

Good addition of the news feed but just a few problems.
->The news feed does not allow me to like or comment on an activity which was an essential social aspect of the previous website.
->On the old website the news feed was core to the social aspect of the website, in this one it just seems like a throwaway feature that is not given enough attention.
->The old feed had features of posting links and pictures
->This feed is a bit convoluted, there is no such thing as too many options but there is a problem with the way it is represented

Features like this are why I am so happy I stopped web development. No disrespect to Allan or anything, such requests just made me insane.
I would like a feature where you are able to tag posters with a "Helpful User" button like on Yahoo Answers or sites of that ilk. If a forum member receives a certain amount of "helpful" tags, they gain a badge next to their username accompanied by a Gold Star and a Non-Caucasian Smiley Face Emote to denote their "Official Helpful User" status.

I made a thread specifically suggesting this months ago;the idea didn't get a lot of love.
Add a dislike button.
What is the point of a like system if you can only say praise? You should be able to voice your criticism too, via a dislike.
Wouldn't trolls abuse of it?

Hello everyone!
So again, what do you want to see changed on BSN?
Is it possible to allow us (or maybe this is already a feature and I didn't realize it) to block an entire thread?
Meaning, you click something to hide or block the thread from the forum's list of threads?
Sometimes I go on the forum and I see thread titles that are pretty troll-ish, sometimes even downright misogynist or racist. I understand a mod will shut down the thread, but that always doesn't happen right away. Also, maybe if other folks had the option to just hide or block the thread, then that will deter *some* (at least me) from commenting on it.
On Facebook if you don't like something you see in your news feed you can click, "I don't want to see this." And when you do this, an option pops up asking if you need to report any illicit activity. You don't have to report illicit activity, but the option is there if the content is that bad. The same should go for the threads. Maybe a thread is illicit in the title and needs to be blocked and reported - sure. But sometimes we see threads that are just personally irritating but not rule breakers. We just want to hide or block it so we aren't staring at it or tempted to go in and fan the flames. I dunno. Just a thought. I'd love to have this option! Because then we control what we want to see, which typically leads to more positive interaction.

Yes. It would become a troll button.
The private option removed from groups.
It seems unnecessary.
How are users to know if they want to apply to join particular groups without being able to browse content?
Wouldn't trolls abuse of it?
Absolutely. On another site I occasionally lurk, that is its only purpose. Would do no good here.

A self-delete feature.

To be honest, I get more annoyed by the people that constantly complain about getting dislikes than the trolls who just dislike everything. You can ignore dislikes, but the former has a tendency to disrupt discussion.....so yeah. No dislike button.

This forum already needs more feel goods and a closer community like it used to have 5+ years ago, so yeah. It'd be counterintuitive.
Anything to promote more positivity is a good thing for this place, I say.
A true ranking system with liked posts might be a good idea. I think everyone gets a rank of Excellent, no matter how many liked posts they have.
You get the Excellent tag if you've acquired more than 30 likes.
To be honest, I don't know if we need tags for things like "likes" or "post count".
Do that and you'll have people farming likes(you'll have threads become breeding grounds for them) or posts to raise their count(as I've been accused of doing for having the highest post count, even though I didn't know what my post count was for 5 whole years).
