I am a little worried that the new forums are not as functional as they could be for a MMO community.

Here is a list of stuff I noticed,

-No WYSIWYG editor, very limited post formatting
-Search doesn’t work (does not search the forums)
-No private message function
-User profiles are weird, can’t add any public info (what is base)
-Can’t tell what posts are read/ unread
-Can’t edit post after a few minutes
-Can’t quote (well no button to do it)
-No polls
-No emotes

I also noticed a few things with the website,

-The sign up page needs some love in IE9. The background is doubled up and offset.

-When selecting from the top menu bar, the drop downs push the main page down and makes it jump around. This in in IE and Firefox.

-Screenshots and Concept Art lead to blank pages. Maybe add something as a placeholder since it’s live. FAQ at least say coming soon.

-On the The Game page “armour” should be armor.

-Google and Bing Sitelinks are all messed up and seem to point to random posts in the forum.

Hi Fossil,

As you will have read, the team have effectively been inactive for the past two months. It’s only now that we have resolved the situation with funding that activity will pick up again. Whilst I spent some time migrating the website to the new CMS a few weeks ago, I have not spent much time refining the new design, especially the new forums.

I will be working on the site again in the coming week, so I will take into account these suggestions and those of other members of the community.

Also, Armour is the European spelling ;)

Glad to hear that things are going well for you guys now. It was kind of getting obvious that something was going on when thing got so quiet. As far as I am concerned you guy are my last hope for a fresh sandbox game.

Was thinking Armour was somehow correct but google failed me :)
