Just great...

At first I thought that the community website was broken, or that it just didn't fully load, but apparently CCP has decided to break the last readable and usable section of their website.

First you messed up the main eve online website, then the wiki, and now the community website.

I guess I'll just have to start reading the eve online news through RSS feeds.


It turns out that RSS feeds don't work any more so I won't be able to use that either.

Bang up job as always CCP!

The history of the creation of EVE that I believe used to be located at www.eveonline.com/download/videos/?type=3 has disappeared. Videos from as early as 2006. I always felt they gave some really interesting background into the start of CCP and EVE.

All the old thread links that show up on Google that used to be ingameboard.asp now redirect to http://oldforums.eveonline.com/ which is DOA.

Which is quite unfortunate.

Found via google


Thats a good spot, I did a quick search and looks like most of the old links still work. Shouldn't make too much of a difference Google should index the new pages pretty fast what will be interesting is how it will treat the two unique URLs without any canonicalisation.

Don't know why they didn't just 301 redirect the old pages, that would have passed 90% of the old page link juice. It could be a good time for interested parties to gain rankings for general EVE informational searches. Really surprised EN24 and TMDC haven't got info loaded wikis on them to increase adsense revenue.

Just did a quick Google for 'site:www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp' over 900k results thats going to be one hell of a lot of pissed off Googlers over the next few days. Think their sys admins would cry if they tried to redirect every page, only saving grace is that Google will sort it out eventually.

Unfortunately Google does cache for quite some time, I've been waiting for content I'm migrating from one site to another (starting fresh without bad links) to deindex for 2 months. Pity they changed old forum location.

These old links should all be working again! Thanks for pointing this out.


Tested, but the legacy link (as linked above) does NOT work; it links back to the general API key page.

Thanks for the quick reply btw.

The web team has delivered a very stylish product once again; kudos for that, it looks good.

It drives me bonkers that the current notions for web design revolve around pages that must be scrolled through to see all current or new front page content. Without the pretty pictures, everything on the front page could easily be seen without using the scroll wheel at all.

It is my opinion that unnecessarily large images and wide content spacing make for an inferior web browsing experience.

Doh, I just noticed that there's more content if you scroll the page... Oops

Didn't know that the page was scrollable and so was completely missing the lower half. THX for pointing that out. Smile

You can't be serious about the new API page layout. You are making your users scroll when rendering the page on a 1600x1200 display + browser (firefox, Win7) combination with 6 or more keys / rows? Just imagine all of the scrolling required on the more common 1920 x 1080 or smaller screens...

Please find a way to downsize the masthead so that it uses less vertical screen real estate on pages that are intended to be useful or display content. Alternatively, please find a way so that this newly scalable site design optimally uses the available web browser space.

More or less this.

The API key page is an utter mess. Totally cluttered on a 1920x1200 Screen. Also interface elements are much too big with default zoom.

Cannot double click / copy&paste any more, since descriptive text is selected in the process and the user id and verification key have to be edited afterwards to make them work.

I really hope you can fix this Sad.

Remove standings and insurance.
