Overall I like the new forums but I don't like the _EU next to my name

Are you wanting a list of forums as they appeared on the UBB forums? If so clicking on the word "English" will open up all the sections into on long list of forums.
Um, am I stuck with this _NA tag on my name forever? I couldn't find a Primal EU side, but maybe there was one hiding. I've seen other names with the same ending, and a few _EUs too. Is there official word? I'm digging now.

So far I've only seen:
"Edit Password
To change your game account password please go to PlayNC Account Management."
And even if it's changeable, it's still the default setting, and it seems that if you try to use https you get redirected to http anyway.

This was addressed in the Welcome announcement.

They are asking when they log in that they go start to the English Forums, not the front page with all choices. Just the English with the sub groups open.

You can turn off Graphic images in User options. Besides, some people's Text Sigs are just as bad, listing Every.Single.Character.They.Have.

I got the impression from the question that the person was trying to see certain sections that they preferred, instead of the whole ball of wax. In other words, I Most visit City Scoop, Player Questions, CH&VC, and was trying to find a way to quickly see those sections without going through everything.

I must find a way to rid the world of that pesky Eskimo_Spy_NA.
Now @Eskimo-Spy
I'm not evil.
New boards looking good so far. Few teething problems with dead links to images etc. and the _EU _NA suffix business... but if those are the only kinks to work out, good job folks!

If you bookmark the page with all sub groups open it should return you to that page with all the sub groups open.

It's the first couple hours with a new (for some of us) system. Maybe it would be nicer to point people to where they can change the option instead of giving them a hard time for having a different preference than your's. I finally found what you were talking about, but it took a bit. There are a lot of things to fiddle with and adjust.

My selective blindness strikes again. Completely missed that sentence. Thanks Niviene.
Happy of the merge of Us and Euro community.
Now let's move on, please merge the serveur list

Am pleased I won't necessarily be stuck with _EU forever!

Don't mean for it to sound like having a go at particular people, but it would be nice if people actually had a look at the options before complaining or whining about something.|

But.. just for those coming in late try this link: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/profi...do=editoptions and if you don't want images turn the image options off.

Some might want to be able to see images posted by others, but not images in sigs.
Others obviously want both.
I don't think there is a make-everyone-happy solution here, all we can do is to state our desires, and let the community team decide which route to go.
Personally, I'd prefer it if sig images went the way of the Dodo.
As my first post on the new forums... let me say... after all this time awaiting them to be back...
FINALLY!!!! teeheeheehee... *explodes*
/bonus points for the correct mention of reference.
//might wanna pm me though... dunno if I'll look at this thread for a bit.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at. I'll live with images off for now, but if it means the City Scoop gets all messed up or I have to click 97 different links to see what I want to see, I won't be happy. Avatars should be enough in the way of self expression without sig image making threads longer and more cluttered.

Very shiny, the new look is sleek.
Will there be any more or is that over with?
Though I noticed yesterday there were code giveaways on the twitter
