That would be my bet as well. They upgraded the website and made it all shiney. It'd be a shame if the forum was so cheap-looking in comparison.

You do realize that almost every post that was available on the old forums is still available on the new forums, right? Including all the complaints and negative comments about the game? You do, right? For some reason, I have a feeling you don't.

In short, I like it. But therein lies my only current complaint. You have to be short!

I want to post a new suggestion on the appropriate board. Explaining it's overview and details isn't re-writing the complete works of Shakespeare but is along the lines of a dozen or so sentences, seems this many words (whatever that is set to) is more detail that the mods/admins want us to be reading.

My suggestion will, for now, have to go unread. Because succinct I’m not.

I can't post a suggestion, I get an error which after 30 mins of troubleshooting can only be put down to my post being too long.

my suggestion, then, would be to post what will fit, then reply to your post with the rest of the post...

Only the links are broken. The stuff is still available. Use search and update your links.

Hey! The ability to add images is enough for me to cheese all day!

Is it possible for me to resubscribe to my favorite threads WITHOUT posting in them?
EDIT: Nevermind, found it up top in Thread Tools.

I am the type of person who believes change is always bad, but I am sure that I will get used to it eventually, it is bright and shiney, but the old forums felt more reliable...

Give this a few years, and it'll feel reliable too

I also miss "View All" (yes I do have my options set to 100 posts per page). I also miss the automatic jumping to the last unread post in a thread.

I prefer the new forum appearance when compared to the old US forums, but I don't like it as much as the old EU forums. Similarly I find this forum much faster than the old US forums but much slower than the EU ones that I spent most of my time on (it might be the extra images though - a lot of them are failing to load for me - which previously happened for me with avatars on the US forums but never the EU forums).

So I'm not overly impressed so far - I've lost more than I've gained.

On the bright side, once they get a new Dev Tracker implemented I'll only have one to check, instead of checking both EU and US ones previously.

Didn't one of the moderators say part of the issues with City Vault was the inability to make it work with our old forum software?

I could be wrong but for some reason I recall this being mentioned.

According to Wikipedia, it is possible to use Greasemonkey scripts with Chrome, but you can't just click a link and sintall like you can with Firefox.

I for one like the new forum software. Still getting used to the new categorizations. The only thing that needs work are the smileys. They don't alpha blend well at all. I'd suggest using this set instead:

Those look terrible too. They don't have much antialiasing...just less white edging than the default ones.
