Starman_thc

Thank goodness it's back...I mean how in the world could I figure things out without this place? It has been interesting not being able to check on things here...

It might only be visible on the full site, not on mobile

My post count says 11355

Wow, this is awkward and clunky.

I missed you guys, but I feel like I'm in 1997 again. What's with this tiny reply box? I'll have you know I'm very claustrophobic.

Does anyone in the know know why this change occurred?

Hjalp!

EA reformatted all of it's forums, and installed new board software. At least that's what i thought I read.

Yeah, the old forums suddenly crashed, so they fast tracked the upgrade to these new forums. Features and stuff will get tweaked as we go along.

I'm so glad the forum is back. I was getting withdrawl symptoms.

The merge function seems to work now! Yay!

When looking at some of the old locked posts I found posts attributed to me that were not posted by me. They were from other people who had replied to my posts.

Are you talking about topics? I think that is listing any topics you've posted in...

Well, if they're brilliant-sounding, just leave things alone and take credit for them.

Ew, this looks terrible. At least it's back, I guess.

Specifically, this post. The very first post is attributed to me, but that's not my post. That was a reply to my post.

No sir, I just don't like it

This certainly looks and works lot better on my phone than the old site did.

Thanks for the update LPN. I'm not crazy about the new format, but I'm sure like all changes, I'll get used to it.

Yeah, not totally liking the new format so far. I'll try not to be a complainer though until tweaks are made. What forum software is this? I'm assuming it's mobile friendly though unlike the previous version?

KillaSqirl

Yeah wow, a bit of a shock but glad we're back!
