Discussion: Welcome to the new Official City of Heroes Forums!

Spectreblade · 07-31-2009 02:45 PM

I'm here! I had a bit of trouble logging in, though, since my forum login info from before the move did not work with the new boards. I soon realized that I now had to use my game login info. Are they one and the same now, or are they still separate and my forum login info just ended up defaulting to match my game login info when the switch happened? Anyway, I think the problem I had is one that people should be made aware of.

Currently published Mission Architect arcs:
Arc ID# 70466: From the Abyss.
Arc ID# 403174: The Serpent's Revenge.
Arc ID# 534236: The Clockwork Angel.

So far so good. Looking for a way to turn off the non-English forums when I click New Posts, any tips/suggestions?

SunGryphon · 07-31-2009 02:45 PM

I am VERY happy with the new boards.

Undead_Steve · 07-31-2009 02:46 PM

very shiny, I like.
It will just take some getting used to.

Patteroast · 07-31-2009 02:46 PM

Ooh. I'm curious as to how big our signatures can be, now. If I can, I'd love to add more SG shout-outs.

Will take some getting used to, like all new things.

Loving the new look. I've been withdrawing from the forums, even though I don't post that much.

NarfMann · 07-31-2009 02:51 PM

The Forums are dead!

Long live the Forums!

Creole Ned · 07-31-2009 02:51 PM

Took a bit to get the login right. Did my snazzy custom title carry over? Let's see...

EDIT: Alas, no. I am no longer The List Guy. :sadface:

Beldoman · 07-31-2009 02:52 PM

Hooray for shiny new forums

Emberly · 07-31-2009 02:53 PM

Looks good. Gonna test if I can change my forum password to differ from my game password. Making them the same is a mistake.

edit: so the game pass and the forum pass can't be made independent.

Nice to have the forums back!

My arcs are constantly shifting, just search for GadgetDon for the latest.

ooooo, shiny . New forums, I like!

Big win for everyone moving away from ubb and onto vB.

ChaosExMachina · 07-31-2009 02:55 PM

Is there a way to show specific forums automatically instead of clicking every category?

A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

TrueTool · 07-31-2009 02:55 PM

It lives!

Panzerwaffen · 07-31-2009 02:57 PM

YAY!!! The withdrawal symptoms were getting pretty severe!

Yes, if you click on "English" it will open up all the forums just as it was on the old boards. (If you are EU it will look different than what you are use to

)

So excited about new forums. Won't be as happy if Sig Pics remain active though.

Linking the forum password and the game account password is garbage and needs to be changed. There's a reason mine weren't the same before the forum migration.

EDIT: Also, any links to threads that existed on the old boards are now broken. This includes help links to other threads within threads as well as links within signatures.

EDIT EDIT: PM's don't show the sender, only the subject. Needs to be changed. Options for viewing posts per page is 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 100 - where's the 50?

This is easily changed in your user settings.

Landrig · 07-31-2009 03:01 PM

Love the look of the new forums but I have to say one thing, you guys are EVIL, why would you do this to us??

A new forum AND Double XP on the same weekend.....

Anyway, glad to be here.

Also, why does my avatar not show up half the time? Still a few bugs, I'm guessing?

Indeed. The lack of signature pics on these forums was always a plus IMO.

I want my old forums back!

Ok...I'm sure I'll get use to this set up, but it will take a bit to get use to it. I feel like a noob

Celidya · 07-31-2009 03:05 PM

Yes !! I'm so happy we finally have merged forums, i'm an euro player but always hated the european forum skin so i was a reader for the US forums

Now i can post as well. Awesome
