The patch will be out tomorrow...
ZephyrZodiac:
I tend to think that quite a number of the posters are actually below the age limit for the game anyway!
Motoki:
Personally, I'd be happy even if they've just used better board software. Compared to most other board types out there, it really is very primitive. An adults only forum might be nice too. Even if there isn't "adult" subject matter being discussed there, it would be nice to not have to babysit the 10 year olds and deal with their tantrums. Lastly, I think the whole benes, muting and rank stuff is a really REALLY bad idea. It encourages pointless competition and useless posts.
I will and have filed bug reports when there are forms up to do it, but I have no desire or intention to ever post on the BBS in its current incarnation.
ZephyrZodiac:
I quite agree, Motoki - on the odd occasion when I've had a look at what's happening there, I a) haven't understood most of what was being said, and b) had difficulty in actually working out all the misspellings! So I don't go there any more! But like you when I've come up with a real problem I have reported it when I could.
baratron:
The single easy change that would triple the readability of the official BBS would be to add the option to disable viewing of signatures.
I'd find it significantly easier to read if I could turn off seeing the pointless bunnies and excessive use of font tags. Not least of all because, as it is, it's often hard to tell where a post ends and the signature begins. Most other forums insert a separator line, and/or format the signature to be in much smaller text, so it's obvious.

I agree with that whole-heartedly. The few times I've gone to the bbs help section for, well, "help", I had to go through 300 bright pink "i luv ashton kutcher" signatures and bunnies. I don't understand that bunny thing, at all.
