Feedback on Forum Functionality (When it is Non-Functioning)
Catching up with responses as a 13+ years on the forums vet, should not lock me out of replying after 6 replies within an hour (my notifications easily can be over a dozen when I sign in the morning). I would think at this stage verified users should not be locked out for high activity (especially when that is their usual activity). I even am locked out of posting this post, I am waiting for it to allow me to Publish... I also noticed more issues this year compared to past years, that html gets flagged (won't post with html errors despite past/previous posts/edits allowing it), even if implemented with the in forum editor's html/markup (and not a copy paste issue), error or updating tables/lists/posts, it just locks out future edits to the table/list/post. I also see that others have been posting about this issue, so I didn't make a stand alone post about it (just thought I'd include it in this one), but I want to mention that notices/errors are so frequent it really makes the forums not very user friendly. Especially, to those who can have high daily activity.
EA Forum bug report format shows inaccurate dates in Profile view
Discrepancy of EA Forum dates on Bug Report format On 31 March 2026 - Clicking on my account > Profile shows a list of my comments. I date my bug reports to help me track them. Here's an example of the incorrect date on EA format. Pic 1 Profile view shows incorrectly '6 days ago' at the bottom. Should be 16 days. Pic 2 Clicking on the comment to open the thread. Same comment dated correctly below my account as '16 days ago'. No tag for EA Forum. Also noticed the new green 'Approved' marking. Approved by whom? players? forum mods? What is being approved?
Feedback & Questions About EA Forums UI, Notifications, and Navigation
First of all, thanks for launching the new EA Forums platform. I appreciate the effort to modernize the design and improve the overall experience. After spending some time using the forum, I wanted to share a bit of feedback and also ask a few questions regarding forum functionality. What I like so far: - Clean and modern UI - Faster loading compared to the old forums - Clear separation between game categories and community hubs Areas where I’m a bit confused or struggling: - Notifications sometimes feel delayed or unclear (not always sure what triggered them) - It’s a bit hard to track threads I’ve previously commented on - Search results don’t always surface the most relevant discussions - Navigating back to a specific category takes more clicks than expected Questions: 1. Are there plans to improve notification filtering or customization? 2. Will there be better tools to follow or bookmark discussions more easily? 3. Is the search functionality still being optimized? 4. Are user profile features (post history, activity tracking) planned to be expanded? Overall, the forum has a lot of potential, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it evolves. I’d also love to hear feedback from other users — what’s working well for you, and what could be improved? Thanks for listening to the community! [CM edit - third party link removed]
Staying logged in
I'm on PC, using Chrome, every time I come to the forums I have to sign in, as soon as I close the tab I am logged out, I may come back times a day or night, why can I not simply stay logged in ? The only way for me to actually stay logged in so i don't have to keep signing in is the leave a tab open all day & night.
System needs an Update
So, you can’t actually tell if you’ve been banned or just temporarily suspended from the forum. They send the email to your inbox - which you can’t see because you’re banned. I beg, let there be a way to monitor your status or inbox. It’s no use seeing it after the fact. I’m worried even this much might have it happen again.
