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.
If I Restart My Story, creating a New Thread, is that Spamming?
Attn Community Adminisator: EA_David, or Whoever it Concerns, I have had some serious setbacks with my latest Cantrell Reset. Due to some startling relationships, wherein the husband and wife were no longer married, but considered cousins, I have since started a new game, three times now, and, no, I'm not insane. At any rate, this last go-around seems to be okay. The parents are spouses to each other, and who cares who the Baby-Daddy is? This is Louise's problem. 😉 At any rate, as I've played, things have transpired that put the existing updates out-of-order. There is no way, seemingly, to change the order of the updates, keeping their comments intact. It would be confusing to say the least. Question: Would it be considered spamming, were I to start a brand new thread for this current iteration of my Sim family and their escapades? Thank you, I appreciate your timely response in this matter. ~GalacticGal

What purpose does the forum or any "support" entity of EA even serve? In the information age, you cant get prompt responses on game-specific forums here, and of all the threads I have read in this area, the community managers basically say "there is nothing we can do." Why even run the things if you are either hamstrung into being unable to do anything, or are fundamentally unwilling to provide any help? (CM EA_Lanna: Edited to update thread title to focus question succinctly.)
[Sims 4 Bug Forum] - Adding "Awaiting Additional Reports" Category to Sidebar
Hi, Around 600 bug reports have been moved to a new category for the Sims 4, called "Awaiting Additional Reports". While I understand the purpose of the new category, it hides many bug reports and it's not as accessible anymore as before. It would be great to have this new category added to the sidebar (In "Featured Bug Statuses") for easier reach, better visibility and also transparency.
Why did they get rid of the old EA Forum? This one is terrible
Honestly, haven't visited EA games forum since 1-2 years. And i remember there was an other Forum platform we used a few years ago. Why did EA switched to this one? This platform is simply utter trash and terrible to use. Slow as hell, always takes seconds to open up a thread or go back a step. Notifications: It often shows the red dot next to the bell that there is a new notification, but there is nothing new, it just shows an older notification again as new. And if i open up the notifications and see, there are several different ones which are unread, and click one one of them, it marks every other as read too. Besides these technical issues i would love to know how populated this forum is, because it feels abandoned as hell. If I look at any game's general discussion board, i see new topics pop up all the time, but barely any of them gets a like or a reply. This place feels abandoned. What the hell?! Who decided this was a good fit to operate a community forum? Just go back to the previous one guys.
