They care not about our suggestions….
I attempted to reply to the post linked above, and received an error…
Of all the things wrong with the forums I pray they fix the search function….
I don’t believe you are allowed to post to threads in News and Announcements. Those are informational posts/threads. If you have a suggestion, you are encouraged to post it in the sub-forum it is most appropriate for. General gameplay, Racial issues, Living Story, WvW, PvP, etc.
I am far from a “web master” but all the forums sites I have ever ran (4 or 5 guild / clan type)… had these things called “groups” and based on the “group” a member of the forums was in they had different “permissions”… some of those options, were based on “categories” of posts…
Example…
Category
—- News and Announcements
Groups and Permissions
—- Member – Read
—- Contributor – Read / Modify (own) / Post / Delete (own)
—- Moderator – Read / Modify (all) / Post / Delete (all)
This.. would remove the “reply box” from those who couldn’t “reply”, and the “new post” option for users who didn’t have permission to post… This really reduced some confusion for the forums…
We also always had this “search” function, that wasn’t just a box you typed into that would shift the page to “No Results” it actually would search through forums and find relevant posts…
I know it sounds crazy that such things exist… but I was using free legal forums and such, nothing as high end as this site!!
but now we have a problem, i was about to reply to a thread in the suggestion forum and now i can’t.
so now a discussion falls in to nothingness and nothing is solved, if they did it right they at least would move some of the threads to the proper forum.
also, now everything becomes one huge mess, you can’t see the difference anymore between a suggestion or a discussion.
they should simply bring the suggestion forum back, no use making the forums a huge mess.
