Graphic signatures won't upload or get linked from other website.
Although you can use a link from a filehosting site and manually write the [img tags
My old links to the Dev Digest and the Community Digest give 404 errors instead of redirecting. It just looks bad.
I understand that all links cannot be mapped for redirect but there should be a better, COH branded 404 page at the very least.

Bug Description:
When using the villain Skin, all user avatars have a gray border around them. When using the hero skin, the border isn't as wide, so it looks like gray lines running partially across the top and/or bottom of avatars. I have a feeling those borders (in actuality, gray boxes which appear behind avatars) shouldn't be there at all.

Browser: Google Chrome
Forum: Any
Bug Description: IMG tags are enabled, not only for signatures but for anything. Example:
Another example:
Not sure if this is intended, but I know on the US forums there were reasons this feature was disabled for normal accounts
Suggestion: Disable IMG tags for normal accounts, but fix image upload for signatures (problem described by Croesis). The current 600x120 size limit should be sufficient for forum signatures.
Edit: Forum Images are intentionally Allowed. All normal Forum Rules and Regulations are valid, and we will have an update soon to cover this expanded area. If people want to severely abuse the potential of this feature, that's (part of) what I get paid for. -The Ocho
That could be bad, Obsidius. EDIT: DOH! Yes. VERY BAD.
EDIT: Removed huge freaking image.
Be well, people of CoH.

Forum: All - Behaves differently depending on skin
Bug Description: Grey "border" around avatar, i assume it is supposed to be a border around each avatar, using the villain skin this seem to work as intended with an equally big border around each avatar. Using the hero skin the border seem to be off, looking pretty silly. The real big problem comes when you are using a .gif avatar where a lot of the avatar are supposed to be transparent showing the forum background colour, like i am, then it looks just outright silly...

You dont see avatars when linking to single forum posts (WAI?).
Scroll down to 3rd reply from the bottom, or just check this reply

Operating System (Vista, XP, OS X version): XP
Browser: Firefox 3.5.1
Forum: All
Bug Description: I'm not 100% sure that this counts as a forum bug, or whether it's just on my machine, but I'm finding that I'm constantly being logged out of the boards, and have to log back in on a regular basis. I can't figure out any reliable reproduction steps, but it seems possibly to do with 'back up' or opening links in new tabs.
I've cleared all stored passwords in Firefox, refused to let it store my password, entered my username/password, selected Europe, and checked the 'remember' box. Yet it still keeps logging me out.
Anyone got any ideas? 'Cos I'm running out. (and 'use IE' is not a valid idea, in my book...)

Operating System: xp professional sp3
Browser: Firefox 3.5.1
Forum: All
Bug Description: I have the same problem as Canine (post #20) I log in and it logs me out continuously, i tired updating firefox from 3.0.1 to 3.5.1 but that made no difference- logging in with IE works fine tho.
However i have found that if i log in from http://boards.cityofheroes.com/ (instead of http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/index.php which i had already bookmarked) i remain logged in
AF
On the side of the "make a post"
There isnt any VISUAL thingys to show you how to make text bigger/color text/add smilies/how to do links to webpages/how to insert images.
I know most of the people here are really like... Super Nerds and know this stuff. But, in our old forums all those things were on the side of the box where we typed... and I am really missing that stuff here.
Please add those things. It must be a BUG that it isnt already here.
Operating System: Windows XP
Browser: Firefox 3.0.4
Forum: Every one
Bug Description: Posts where there were special characters like <, &, > etc. have had these characters converted to their html "safe" values. I.e. <, &, > etc.
This makes for a poor reading experience, and requires that one knows what the mysterious codes actually means
I realize though, that this particular problem may be neigh unsolvable.

Main Villain: Elenor Seahawk (Mastermind lvl 44; Necromancy/Poison)
My Arcs: #337278: Learning Curve

I'm not sure you'd count this as a bug but...
"Arachnos" in the Soldiers of Arachnos forum title is misspelled.
