General Discussion Started Last reply 35 posts

Due to some minor difficulties, the maintenance period for the application of the new boards has been pushed back. Maintenance will now begin at 1:00pm CST today (Wednesday, November 11th) and end at 5:00pm CST.

We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience as we work to improve your community experience.



I think Siren meant November 18.
Actually November 19th. :P
Yes. Now it's my mistake. November 19.

Durr.....

see how easy it is? :p
Speaking of which.. it's almost 1PM CST...
The new boards are ugly.
Terrible.. and terribly white. ;)

But it's a good change.. this is better than the old engine.. but even so.. I dislike vBulletin.
Yah, I don't like the white either >< wish we had some custom choices
I hate the new boards, the constant white hurts my eyes and are so boring!!!
And it also needs a revamp on the signature options. :P
new board is up!
Ewwww.

I don't like it. I felt like I was blinded. And it looks so...impersonal.

And why do I have to scroll all the way down to the bottom if I want to go back to the homepage?
simplemten there will be a new browser window,
and write www.lineage2.com xD
what she was getting at was the tabs that used to be on the side are gone now, you cant easily switch from forums to other parts of the webpage like you used to be able to w/o goin to the bottom for those of us that dont care to open multiple browser's/tabs
I should make some sort of direct link to the main page, to provide that to them of laziness to you xD
lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like the new boards XD
in my personal style forum is not much inportancia, I liked just because it works faster and it does provide many things jeje
I didn't like it at first either but I'm quickly starting to get used to it... change is just never easy.
I want a way to change my forum password. That's all. Seriously, it's not funny. The skin can come, they can put an option to choose skin, or customize it beyond the normal vbulletin's skin.

But I do NOT want my forum password to be the same as my game password. That's ridiculous.

-grumbles-
i agree as well, its extremely rediculous for that to be how the password is now
Agree on the password issues.... I dont feel safe even having a forum account now....

Other then that I do like the forum, I am used to simple "white" forum layouts anyways

Though I think making the "white" parts a little more blue-ish would work well for the forum :)
New boards r HORRIBLE
New boards r HORRIBLE

Why? At least for me it's rly refreshing, I hated those dark ones. And it's good that this is Vbulletin boards, we can ask to add some skins.

Yes, please fix this if possible, having a different password for forum then the ingame password is much better/safer.

Colors seem fine, anyway with skins everyone should be able to make it look as they want. Unless NC-NA wants to impose a certain graphical aspect.

I don't like white interface at all,it's so common and boring.
We can ask for skins but not sure if we'll get any.
my eyes hurt, please darker pleaaaase

PS: wtb separate password for boards
I hated those dark ones.

This is a dark game and I want my dark Boards this is way 2 much WHITE!


I'm a dark elf I like things dark!:mad:


p.s. I do like the new Board just give us background options and fix it so i can use the ~ key in signature and Avatar. my site use the ~ key and now I can't link any thing yet it works for anything already link from the old boards. So it does work the stupid forums just keep saying errors for the new one.
Good that it's vBulletin now but make it more readable (change coloring) please and allow to use pictures in signatures.
More than the problem of dark vs light, the whole design makes it look like a fansite forum. It's the default forum anyone can get.
They need to shape it to fit L2 and be professional.
allow to use pictures in signatures.
Don't.
Don't.

There's an option to hide tags in User CP.

The "standard editor" for messages uses a brown frame. The work is half done, once more. It's already sad to see how they demolished the library... now the forums.
:(
I wouldn't call it laziness; more like these boards are user unfriendly.

Simplemten? What's that?
There's an option to hide tags in User CP.

Is there an option to hide tags in signatures only?
There's an option to hide img tags in User CP.Not being able to use images in signature or message text was one of the best features of the old board. It made it look much more "professional" and much, much easier to read.

Yes, you can disable the img tag in the control panel, but there is another problem besides signature images simply being annoying. NCSoft pretty much have to disable the pictures, so that they do not get into legal trouble. If images are enabled, they would basically have to check every single message every day, just to see if somebody put a **** pic there, or anything else which could cause problems. So it is much easier to just disable images. Players who simply cannot live without an animated "lvl 78 Titan" signature pic instead of just WRITING lvl/class/server there can always go to blah.

I am amazed the img tag still works, actually.
Why did they change for? Maybe with a new skin or two I'll change my mind but this current one is awful.
