Are you implying that the Valk forums look good, are easily readable and an improvement over what we have atm?


They're better to read on a phone than the EVE forums.


Oh sure, but apart from that they are worse to read on a PC. EVE is a PC game, why actively choose to make it worse for that just to support something else.

It's not as if readability on PCs and smartphones is mutually exclusive, if one puts in the effort you can achieve both but that of course takes effort, talent and the drive to excel. Not the "that'll do" mentality that has plagued CCP for so many years now.

Well, that's plainly not true.


I'm not talking about the concept! First serious faxing was in the Napoleonic Wars. I'm talking about the modern variation of the fax machine and the modern version of email. Also, the first electronic posting forums predated the mid 1980's as well, I'm referring to wide adoption times of the various technologies.

Taking me out of context... Bad Bumble... no biscuit.



But..but...the first commercial fax machines were introduced around the '20's!


Quote:

By the late 1940s, radiofax receivers were sufficiently miniaturized to be fitted beneath the dashboard of Western Union's "Telecar" telegram delivery vehicles.[7]

That sort of depended on the business you were working for back then.

Get a bigger phone, turn it 90 degrees. Fixed your problem. That way they can focus on game development.

Go take a look at the layout and see if you like it. Currently working on a proposal and list of requirements for it over the summer Smile


Whatever you change, don't change it to this... I have no idea how it looks on my smartphone, but on my computer screen it doesn't look nice... Maybe it isn't bad a idea, to make a mobile version that can be used concurrently with the forums designed for computer use. EVE is not a game for the smartphone, and accordingly people should have access to the forums through their computers in the most optimal way.

Please don't have a white-on-black layout like the Valkyrie forums are. That really messes with the eyes when you have to work with it for any amount of time. It looks good at-a-glance, but it's terrible for reading. The White-on-gray is all right.

Also, white-on-yellow... Just... why?

In the game, afaik. Has been for a few months now.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

I dont understand how people can prefer mobile forums over classic PC forums. The designs for mobile devices are unclear and crammed. I get claustrophobia when i look at them.

EVE Online is a PC game, not a crappy mobile game. Most EVE players play on multiple 24" screens, not one 6" screen. Why the hell should we limit ourselfs to tiny 6" screens when it comes to forum design? That would be regression.

PC setups tend to be a little less, mobile, than a phone.
