This reminds me of the issue of some people (I'm among them) wanting the option to log out to the character select/server select screen but being told that retyping my password is at most a few seconds of annoyance. And I respond in kind here, finding the newest post is just a few seconds of annoyance (and it doesn't bother me in the slightest either).

But interestingly enough, what does bother me is that in the old forums, if I was reading a thread on a second or third page of a subforum, clicking on that subforum's name at the top sent me back to the page the thread was located at. Here, it sends me back to the first page. For whatever reason, I find that irritating.

Except you were never allowed to do that in the first place. See, if we had been allowed to log out to character selection since the game went Live, but that feature was broken in I16 for the sake of allowing us to, say, paint flowers on our chat window, then I would be very much with you complaining and demanding resolution. Because that is what happened here. The old forums had certain functionalities that were pretty much vital to my use of them. The new forums don't have those, or have them but they aren't working. This was supposed to be a change for the better, but so far it has been a change for the WORSE with only trinkets to show for it.

Please don't try to present a request for a quality of life increase change with complaints about a quality of life DECREASE change that doesn't seem to have had an upside.

I dig that CoH Digest page that whoever(?) set up - one note it seems just a bit narrow.

I was scrolling down the page and got to the 7 or 8th entry I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this:

It might be due to my having been awake all night. But, that just made me giggle - in a very immature manner - for far longer than I should have...
So much so, that I felt I had to share...
