Well... they clearly stated that the old posts would be deleted and reminded everyone multiple times to save their favorite threads. I'm sure a lot of people have done this, and that the various FAQs will be reposted eventually. But yeah, would have been nicer to keep the different sub-boards for trading instead of crowding it all onto one board...

I have tons of guides archived at Soefancom.  I have a copy of my original sticky on my hard drive.  I'm also having a LOT of Real Life this week and I just got a part-time job, so please be patient! If you have a guide saved, post it or archive it over on Soefan.com and PM me the link (so I don't miss it).  I *will* get our info back up, I swear.  Hopefully later today.  I'd hoped to do it last night, but frankly?  I was watching Heroes and Studio 60 :p

We can't edit posts now?  Oh that's going to suck...

There's a bug/issues thread over on the Forum forum, Grimwell knows.  I miss having them marked read, personally.

Calthine, are you in DoD or am I seeing a display bug?

So you see that too?  Weird, it must have happened after I posted after you.

I see truls in DoD too.   I'll go check out that post.

If that's the worst problem we have on the new forums, they did pretty good, IMO.

<p>Yep not in DoD either lol ... if I could edit my message I would have added this link:</p><p> <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=346950" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=346950</a></p><p>Sadly I cannot edit <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.  Btw, I tried setting my personna ... chose truls .. and same problem.  Can someone try setting there personna to a name other than their forum name?  I'd change mine but apparently there is a 1 day lockout on changing your personna lol.</p>

"there" should be "their" ... now I have to be extra careful proof reading my posts lol.

Yeah, I hope that editing posts becomes a future feature.  Sometimes, my hands and my mind are not aligned. I'd like a spell checker too.  I think the good thing about these new boards are that they can upgrade them and add features.

I went to edit our guild recruitment post and everything looked fine.  Hit submit and it dumped a bunch of span tags plain text into my post.  I'm guessing some of the more advanced html tags are not useable even though the WYSIWYG editor inserts them ... not positive though.  I posted the problem in the forum help thread and will see if someone has a solution.

<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Well it is early days yet to know how this combined board is going to work. I am in two minds at the moment. On the one hand I think it may be more difficult to find the topics relating to my tradeskill interests and on the other, I feel that there is more chance of my top tradeskill (provisioning) being remembered! Of course, I haven't been counting all the new recipes that carpenters have been given compared to provisioners but I know that it is more than one! <img src="/smilies/ed515dbff23a0ee3241dcc0a601c9ed6.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">And can we please have Thripsill's Food & Drink Guide somewhere prominent please? I have the link to his PDF file but need to know when updates are available. Perhaps someone else has the link to his post on the old forums? </span></p>

<p>I feel the need to weigh in here. Its great that someone was telling us to save our old sub forum threads but thats not gonna cut it because there was nobody telling us to look and see that someone was telling us to save our old sub forums threads so the point is mute.</p><p>I want access to our old posted information.</p><p>I am not happy, I have a long standing thread that I updated on a regular basis in the crafting sub class forums, if we do not have access to this information its gone <img src="/smilies/0320a00cb4bb5629ab9fc2bc1fcc4e9e.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.</p>

Not to belittle your complaint, but Grimwell posted well in advance that we should save anything we thought was important because it wasn't all going to be migrated.  Several times, in fact.

Thats great, then in fact I will complain severl times over.

<p>I don't mind so much losing the discussions, there was little that can't be recreated over time.  What upsets me was losing the places to have TARGETED discussion regarding class issues.</p><p>Why don't they just consolidate all of the adventure class forums into their 'archtype' since no single forums is incredibly active?  OR better yet, just move them all to the combat and gameplay forums, which is in effect what they did to us.</p><p>Now we will have more crap here and will have to spend more time either hunting for information regarding our class or in some cases miss answering or getting answered some question because it got bumped off the page before someone who would understand the question can answer it.</p>
