This is much better. I was going to ask to put the Planetside boards at the top as well, but was waiting since I had put up other suggestions recently.

It's all good. I think it was much needed.

I liked in the old layout that I could reach the Idea Vault forums when I finished broswing the Planetside2 discussion topics.

Now I need to go one level higher then select the Idea Vault. If there is a way to sticky or otherwise place a link to the Vault, it would be great!

Why don't you make yourself some favorites?

The bar is already full, placing a favourite into the list won't save me the clicks. BTW if you want to solve everything with favourites, why are there links and hypertext at all?

We can't make everyone happy. Try the forum jump at the bottom of every forum.

BUGGER · 2012-04-15, 02:39 AM

Forum jump = <3

I welcome the change. It is the way it should be organized.

On another note....I've never really heard of a forum that could, but I think it would be cool to organize from top to bottom your own favorites list. I'm sure there are a few people who'd really like to see the Political Debate forum on the top of the list...

Is some kind of personalization possible?

Hamma · 2012-04-15, 10:58 AM

There may be an addon of some sort for that but I have not heard of it.

Vancha · 2012-04-15, 11:47 AM

That's similar to a "forum hub site" idea I had once...You'd be able to make your own forum index made up of mix'n'matched forums from other sites.

SniperSteve · 2012-04-15, 06:31 PM

Site news should be either the first item, or at least the first item in the last group.

Ghryphen · 2012-04-15, 07:01 PM

Generally site news topics are not about PlanetSide now but about PSU, not so critical to be a priority. News topics about PlanetSide end up in the PlanetSide forums.

The forum jump is the drop menu on the bottom right that lets you navigate to any forum.

Looks Good

Ya. Better layout, thanks for the tweak!

Is it possible to place it somewhere in the upper region - next to Quick Links perhaps? I view at 1080p but I still need to scroll down about 2.5 screens to reach the buttom and find the forum jump. Besides, forum jump can only be seen at the list pages, whenever you start reading a topic, there is no forum jump at the buttom.

It is just a minor problem, less than nuisence - but if there is an easy way to fix it... why not? Navigating with the least clicks possible means a smooth browsing experience.
