Yea, and the forum change borked the villain skin.
The dev digest/community digest section now shows previews of the threads.
If this is considering WAI (as the hero skin had it this after after the last "update") then I give this a big thumbs down.
I preferred it the other way.

So that's why my username in to upper right turned yellow?
Anyhow, welcome all you free/premium players. Welcome to... the forum! Mwahaha! We're not quite as hostile as most MMO forums, you'll find, and we like it that way, so feel free to ask what you think might be stupid questions, but do behave.
Actually, try this: Ask a "stupid" question in Player Questions, then start a stopwatch. Stop it when you get a useful reply. If it hits an hour, we're slacking.

@Demobot
Also on Steam
Wont this make it available for RMTs to post on the boards now? That was my initial thought to be honest.
Not so sure by adding All Access to each sub section though. A simple Hero / Villain emblem might tidy the forums up slightly.
Otherwise hey welcome freemiums!

It's really goid to let the freebies have some forum access - it helps them feel more connected to the community.

For those of you who have a borked villain skin, have you tried logging out, clearing your cache, and restarting your browser?
And are you using Firefox?
Villain skin on Firefox works fine for me.

It was only doing it using the Hero Style previously. Now, after today's forum "fixes" it is doing it using the Villain Style as well apparently.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

It stays borked for me using the Villain style no matter what. Using Firefox.

This is awesome and something I've been waiting for since Freedom launched.
Not all of the "newcomers" are new after all.
I for one think that opening up the forums to the free and premium players is a good thing. Here's hoping the RMTs get modded into Limbo so the mods don't feel like they need to cut off the access.
Primarily on Victory, Virtue, Justice, and Guardian, in that order.

Wonderful! Great news! And we'll do our part to report spammers as soon as they show their pointy little heads...
*imagining spammers looking like Redcaps*
Not the RP forums? Sad face 
Oh well, I guess in fairness it would have opened up more griefing possibilities, but it also stops those who've let subs lapse from keeping up. And, well, still not worth the price.
Nevermind.

My biggest gripe is that it shows a vastly reduced number of threads on one screen, since each one has a preview box, instead of just the title. It was a lot easier to scan through them fast when you could see 20 at a time and tell what was part of an ongoing conversation.

Agreed... please if this "feature" is WAI add a toggle/setting in our user controls to revert it to the other format. It's very difficult to find the topics I havent read yet with so much wasted space being eaten up on the screen by the minutiae of the post.

Following today's maintenance we've made some changes to the way certain parts of the forums are accessed. In an effort to increase Community interaction and engagement for Free and Premium players we have changed the access levels for certain parts of the City of Heroes Freedom forums.
You may have already noticed a change to the title of some of the forums you frequently visit. Go ahead, I'll wait for you to check it out...
Back? Cool huh?
Some forums have been labeled as "All Access". This means that they're open to all players of City of Heroes Freedom; be they Free, Premium or VIP. The forums that were changed to "All Access" include:
- City Life: General Discussion
- Technical and Gameplay Issues
- Suggestion and Ideas
- Player Questions
- Additionally, when we open the new Paragon Market forum it will be All Access
We will be moderating these forums a bit more strictly than others and any disruptive behavior will be dealt with in an expedient manner.So welcome our FREEM-ium brothers and sisters to these forums and please enjoy your new posting privileges within our Community.
