EVE General Discussion

+1

"EVE-Gate", these forums, and their ham-fisted implementation are an abomination.

These forums not being ****? Nice try Tippia.

2/10 - Suggesting things that'll never happen.

Using IE and seeing no pop ups, annoyances or going through loops...

Try clicking the link in my signature (in fact… that's another option we need to get back: why can't I turn off the display of signatures?) and see what happens…

…now try opening it in a new tab. Now try opening it in a background tab. Depending on your browser, that behaviour will either be broken, unreliable, or just work as normal, all because they decided to alter how links behave. This is probably as bad as coding practices ever go. Altering default behaviours (especially in a way that is as unreliable as this) is just amateur hour and would be downright comedic if it wasn't so sad.

When I click on a link, I want my browser to act as if I clicked on a link — nothing more, nothing less. If I shift-click that link, I want it to act like if I shift-clicked it; if I middle-clicked it, I want it to act as if I middle-clicked it; if I ⌘-click it (on my Mac) I want it to act as if I ⌘-clicked it (etc…). I want to have the option to let my browser work the way my browser work, not the way CCP assumes that browsers work (because their assumption will always be wrong).

I want the option to turn their false assumptions off. Whether it's through a setting in the preference pane (the one which is pretty much completely devoid of any preference settings) or by hosting the forum code on their own servers so I can just add the offending files to my content blocker, I don't really care — I just want it gone.


edit: Oh, and CCP, I can't help noticing that you altered the page layout to rely more on tables than on divs, when the things you changed should use the exact opposite markup. Newsflash: table-based layouts died with the 1990s… revert that nonsense.
