Apology for putting response in quotes, but I have no interest in quoting the same thing multiple times and then have to rearranage them in order in seperate quotes. Also, response in green:

Not a terrible forum, although some serious improvements need to be made. Here's some suggestions:

These things I want fixed now:

- Unlimited editing time.  Well this issue is something nobody knows about.  Maybe pm the mods for an answer? I believe other people have noticed this as well. I'm not alone in this.


- Ability to change usernames at anytime.  This will never happen and if I'm correct, never happens at any other forum. Okay, nevermind. Was thinking about PSN names in general not this forum. It's a low priority for me anyway. Mystic Forums let anyone change usernames at anytime and Smash World Forums let premium users change usernames, although that's not entirely relevant to the discussion.


- Ability to use color in posts.  LMAO you can, just click "Use Advanced Editor" when you go into the simple editor after clicking "Reply" So they're halfway. However, colors is a type of function that should be in basic editor for convenience

sake. Not everyone is going to check advance editor for everything when they just want to post.


- Let us spell check our post. I use Google Chromes and with the exception of this forum, I am able to edit anything I type on the Internet. At least be sympathetic to Google Chromes users. Dat maens lek mei bei albe tu cureck diz sintinct.  Well I am using Chrome and I can spell check... so... You're spouting out bull. I want to correct this word inside the parentheses (haz). What do I get? An option to remove the word, nothing else. Where did you get that out from?

Oh and make sure to actually listen to users suggestions and not just flat out ignore them. I don't see this as a terrible forum like most people, try to reduce that percentage.  I think they are doing a great job at answering us, but sometimes they are just busy helping other users and other things they are required to do.  If them time and again, pm them for quicker responses. Listening to a majority demand is kind of more important then what an individual is asking. More people will be satisfied and the community will be healthier. Note that I'm only comparing issues with forums.

Plus an additional demand. Please stop be so stringent with the word censor. Curse words, even the mild ones, I can understand, but normal words like f a i l and l o c k e d are by no means foul words and they should be removed from the filter words list immediately. Furthermore, I want a reason why those two words are censored. 

The Mods know about this issue and are actively attempting at fixing this.  Even they have had problems with this, so clearly they know this is an issue and know this needs to be fixed soon.  At the moment, the censorship is VERY strict, so its just a jive setting, that's all. Can I type these words without it being censored? ****** (lock.ed), **** (fai.l), kiss (ki.ss). **** (ba.by).
Should get a PS3 sometimes between January 1, 2011 to January 8, 2011, although I'm expecting it January 4, 2011 to January 7, 2011. Games that should come with it are Gran Turismo 5, Singstar, and Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time.

Sorry, when I meant nobody knows about the unlimited editing time, I meant nobody knows why it isnt unlimited.  The mods are just saying at the moment to the general public that we can edit for 15 min after posting or until someone quotes your post, but like I said, maybe if you pm the mods, they will give you a more desirable answer.

And I just checked spell check for the word "haz" and got "haze", "hazy", "Hz", and "AZ".  So it does work for Chrome.

But again with the user demands... Mods aren't miracle workers, give them time.  Give them at least a month from the update to fix the forums until yelling and demanding. (in general)

Lastly, lmao yes the censorship is strict, that's why those words are censored...  but the Mods are fully aware of this problem.  Just again, give it time to be fixed.

Re: New Forum Feedback

WOW...this is my first time back since the changes were made...and what a complete and udder mess.

It took me like 15 minutes just to find this thread.

I too vote for changing it back or something, as these boards are now a lesson in futility and are anything but a forum like most of us are used to visitng.

I can't find a darn thing and with so many other forums out there, I am not going to spend the next week trying to figure out what should have been left alone in the first place. I thought the change to Lithuim from the original forums was a mess, but whoever came up with this mess ought to be awarded a special Platinum Trophy for going above and beyond for creating this nightmare.

This is no longer a forum, it is a shambles.

Re: New Forum Feedback

Hello, I've been lurking the forums for a long long time now. Please make it easier for me to follow what the people are saying by streamlining everything, you know, like an actual forum. I don't have a lot of time to do tutorials or go looking for stuff. I just want information and entertaining threads fast.

Thank you for making this thread and taking time to listen!

Re: New Forum Feedback

Wow, just wow.

The previous forums were bad but this just takes the cake.

Is there some kind of poll to vote it back?

Not anymore. There used to be a user created poll that was running 80% in favor of returning to Lithium, but it looks like it was deleted because I can't find it listed under "Polls you voted on" and the ability to create polls has now been restricted to MVPs only.

Re: New Forum Feedback

The fact that they are suggesting people read a tutorial to navigate their forums is like admitting they have a problem.

Biggest fail i've seen in a long time sony..

Lol can't say f.a.i.l, guess sony got tired of hearing people say it.

Re: New Forum Feedback

the "other" company admitted they have a problem with their actual machines but never actually did anything to fix it.

Re: New Forum Feedback

this might be the crappiest forum i've ever seen in my life...you've gotta wonder what makes the higher ups think that changes like these are good. 

can't navigate the forums, replying is buggy, forum is extremely slow, and it aesthetically it looks like a 2 year old designed it.
