I could not agree more strongly! The current situation is absolutely unacceptable and needs to be addressed a.s.a.p.
I'm with the goat! Fix this Ford Edsel of a forum plz!

The time for change has arrived.
/signed as well.
I've never had as many problems with a forum as I've had with these. To be honest, my local paintball field used EZBoards, and it never logged me out.
Either fix the problem, or dissolve the forums completely and pass information to the playerbase via email, Facebook, Twitter and/or Myspace, which will tick off the customer base even more than getting logged out at random.
As much as I love this game, and as great as the devs are at communicating with us, I've never understood why big problems like this go unresolved, yet other things, like discussing other games, is a HUGE no-no.
If I was a new player and I couldn't even get the forums to cooperate with me when I had a question about the game, why would I think the rest of the game was any different?

At this point, even the wretchedness that were the old forums would be preferable. They stunk, but they didn't forget who you were.

Shh! Talking about it makes it worse.

I am happy to contribute to this thread, and keep it at the top of the Suggestions forum. What is it going to take to get people to pay attention to this.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Is it irony or coincidence that I had to log back in to post my /signed?
While they're at it, adding an easier way to add special text features like bolding, italicizing, and coloring to text wouldn't hurt.

I throw my lot in with phpBB. I've used most of the major forum softwares out there (and been administrator and/or webmaster for several), and I haven't seen one I liked better. The only complaint I've seen about phpBB that I can agree with is that vanilla phpBB is very feature-light... but that's why there's an entire database full of modifications and additions to the software.|

the sports forum I admin uses Invision and it's very nice.
We used phpBB for our gaming forums and it was also very nice.
Neither have ever evidenced the level of user hostility presented by Vbulletin.

It's still horrid though. It's hard to feel like part of a gaming community when you never know if that next page of new posts clicked is going to end with you looking over new posts, or a page saying you have to log in.
Nothing at all wrong with Vbulletin. They simply aren't doing a good job maintaining the site. I don't know of anyone else that has issues with vbulletin randomly dumping or logging out it's members.
Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.

I just got logged out again. If this forum software isn't capable of keeping a stable login session with the setting you require for this forum, then find one that is!
It's not like the forum theme here is that special, either, and the Hero/Villain icons should be good no matter what forum software you want to use.

A platform that randomly logs out posters and that randomly refuses to let them log back in because it can't keep their passwords straight isn't suitable for a commercial game like CoH.
When the problem persists for over six months, it's time to take action- either the provider fixes the issue, or a new solution is found.
This isn't somebody's gaming clan forum on EZBoards, it's a commercial product that we pay to access. If the game were logging players out and not letting them back in for an indeterminate time I have no doubt it would be fixed STAT, and if it weren't customers would leave in droves.
The forums are an extension of the game service, and this ongoing logout/password bug is totally unacceptable. If the provider can't/won't fix the issue, a new provider should be found.
