You can still get banned from all your Origin games if you get banned from this forum. I think that's a bit extreme and would like to see that go.

Something entirely different: If I see in my news feed someone made a post in a thread, then clicking it should bring me to that specific post, not the last post in the thread.

How about less anonymous mods deleting posts and justifying it by telling you what you meant when you wrote it...

:huh:

Is it possible that you could somehow give us the ability to put our own avatars on out profile on the BSN, instead of using the Dragon Age: Origins character creator?

I've recently come back to the forums and would like to get in touch again with some of my old friends. Yet now I even can't do that anymore, as I can't send others not on my friend list PMs anymore. This is by far the most restrictive rule change I've seen here, and it shows that the mods here actually have no clue how to handle their fanbase well enough. Why would you implement such a thing anyway? Work on the broken 'Report' links and buttons instead, be more responsive to reports being sent via these functions instead of being lazy! Most mods even advised people to send them PMs instead of using the 'Report' button, and only NOW this is being looked into?

But yeah, please, remove the new PM function. It only makes me even less interested into coming here if I even can't meet new friends through PMs anymore. I'm not some kind of person who throws everything she's gotta say on the forums for everyone to see. I like discussing in private. Don't take also this away from me, will you. Anyway, if this function persists, I'll be out of here in no time.

Also, look up the definition of 'spam'. Look it up in an actual dictionary and read the definition aloud up to three times. Not every topic can be closed under the silly excuse of it being 'spam'. Again, laziness.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but it's something that annoys me: sometimes when the last page of a thread has reached the maximum number of posts, the forum already shows the next page number as click-able, while in fact that new page doesn't exist yet: one more post is needed to appear as the first post on the new page. You get an error when you click on the new page number, have to go back to the forum and then click on the older page number to finallt access the thread. It would be nice if this got fixed before adding new stuff.

Um... bigger text size. Here it seems small compared to the rest of the internet

Also, if I go through my post history and click on a post, will it actually take me to the specific post and not the last page of the topic?

I'd like to see a more robust set of options for "privacy settings."

I'm not sure, but I believe there are just 3 settings, right now: public, semi-private and completely private.

I'd like to see the option of turning individual elements of one's profile private, such as:

- PMs being "friends only" (this might also help address the current PM concerns.)

- A setting allowing Walls to be visible publicly, but only friends may post comments.

- A toggle to include which Friends appear in your News Feed (This might also help address some of the recent PM concerns.)

- The ability to make individual photo albums private, and others public.

________________

Slightly unrelated, I would love a "search by user" for forum posts. We can search ourselves (sort of) but not other people.


Jeremiah listed about everything.

It would be useful if quoting would only bring up the person's last post, rather than the whole conversation. It would stop quote pyramids so users could see a less cluttered environment, and mods don't have to be concerned about it.

Also, the formatting for copy and pasting could use some work. It's not a huge deal, but I've noticed that a few people have issues with it.

Custom avatar's would really be nice too. It's just always a nice customization option to have/

I think it would be good if you could preview your post before you post it, cuz sometimes the formatting can be weird and the links can be finicky. Also a mobile version would be nice, right now BSN is really not optimized for mobile devices.

I would like a developer tracker, like on BioWare/EA's SWTOR forums. A simple thread that contains every single post made by BioWare devs.


This a 1000 times over. Riot has a really nice feature on their forums which will tell you how many posts in a thread are dev posts and lets you cycle through them...skipping the hundreds of posts in between.


Yes!! I really like the one they use in the SWTOR-forum. I would also loke to be able to preview a post before publishing it. Would be a easy way to catch missing quotes and such things.

Oh yeah, an idea I suggested LOOONG ago to Mr. Priestly I believe. Dunno how far that went, but I'll suggest it here as well-

Individual Thread Post Counts. Hear me out-

On another forum I used to frequent years ago, you could click a button next to a thread's title, and it would take you to a new page that listed the names of every forum member who posted in that thread, along with the amount of posts they've posted in that thread(i.e. how much they've contributed post-wise) in order from most to least.

It was a cool thing to see. You guys could improve it further by making it so from that page, you can click a button and see a specific user's post history in that specific thread. Would be nice for moderators as well, if they don't have specific functionality like that already.

That way it would be MUCH easier to find old posts I or someone else made. I could also find out how much I've posted in long lasting threads in comparison to others.

A chat system(IDK if your servers could handle the requests). A chat system would give me the convenience of talking directly to an online user. It is great for quick write ups.

BSN in a larger scale is to static for a website in 2013. When I am on a news feed the updates should be appearing seamlessly, I should not have to refresh my feed to see the new status updates.

Proper handling of notification events. Sometimes when I get a notification,it does not disappear no matter how many times I view it. The notification seems to be in a locked state. Notifications about pictures should also be able to take me directly to the picture.

The biggest thing that BSN needs to work on is the parsing of HTML tags. At times, when I post a picture or link tag on a comment it renders invalid due to unwanted spaces from the BSN website. I find this annoying.

Not sure if you were just asking about forums, but I'd like to see a removal of the Bioware points structure and cheaper DLC, possibly in some complete package form. I know its been argued many times but the DLC is too expensive.

I concur I want a ignore function aswell.  

But I don't understand why we have to friend people to PM us first if some one is harassing me via PM I can just simply block them. and report them. 

I do want to see the group section improve where I have a better chance at finding some people posts.

Those asking for Moderators to not enforce the Site Rules are going to be terribly disappointed.

Sorry, but this is not BSN related, and the BioWare Community Team has no control over whether DLC is offered, what DLC is offered, or how much it costs.

I would like you to relinquish your tyranny of the BSN and let the people free, Ms. Merizan.

Okay on a serious note, I would like:

- The new PM system to be abolished, or at least give people the option to opt out of it. It may be convenient for mods, but it's a no-benefit potential hindrance for users.

- Preview button for posts.

- Universal image tags. When posting, you use the [img] tags, but when posting on polls and walls, it's something different.

- Video tags. We had this a while and for some reason got it taken away again.

- Fix the copy+paste formatting issues. Been going on for years.
