Maybe this was already posted, if it was I apologize:
Where can I find the date/time that the original post was made? I can see a date for replies (or time if they were done today), and if a post is edited I can see an edit date, but the OP doesn't have a post date at all.
I would prefer to see both the date and time for all posts, or at least have the option to turn it on or leave it to default as it is now.
The reason I'm asking, I was looking over some older posts - and it occured to me that some of the OPs were very, very old... but had some relatively recent replies. If a post didn't have any replies, you'd have no way of knowing when it was made (unless it got edited), and as it is right now your just assuming based on the latest replies.
As for the option for the full timestamp: multiple posts often occur in a single day - maybe some of those came in the span of a couple of minutes and people posted over top of one another (happens a lot), but without the full date/time you can't infer that.
Also, a convenience factor more so than anything, since I'm shooting for the moon - can we get the option for links to open in a seperate tab/window? I am in the habit of right clicking on all links and opening them in a new tab, but occasionally I forget, and then I lose my place in the thread when I have to go back and reload it...

I also pointed that one out a couple of pages back. If you just type or paste the link without using the URL icon on the format bar, it will get automatically converted to a link and work as expected opening a separate tab. In the old forums that would have not gotten converted into a link.
If you do link using the formatting bar, which is what we had to do in the old forum, that method will not open a separate tab when you click on that link. It's too bad because that is also the easy way to have the link appear as other text (same way as old forums: highlight the text you want, then use the URL icon on the formatting bar to paste/type the link.)
But here is the weird part: if you edit your post then any link in it, regardless of the method used, WILL open a new tab.

At the bottom of each post those with a signature have theirs appear in that location. If you don't have a signature, do a quote and then a short sentence the sentence can appear to be a signature.
There is no margin of space below the last line of a post, a couple of lines would sort this out.
I posted a question and when someone responded and edited their post I saw what looked like a bug in how their response was rendered. The issue was the line of buttons with Awesome, LOL, etc was rendered in the same line as the "Does this answer your question?" line. Just a guess, but maybe only the question asker sees this in responses that are edited?

I was trying to figure out how to do that, now that bbcodes seem to not work at all. Thanks
To add to what some others have flagged: it can be very slow typing a comment with characters lagging far behind. Seems to get worse the longer the comment. So starts out OK, jerky after one line say, after maybe two lines of text characters are behind and for a long comment ..... you give up. Tested by adding garbage xxxx's - slowed it down - and then deleted them which improved things again. Windows 10 x64 Edge.
Came across an "advertising" post, reported it, no problem. Navigated to another of the posters cut and pastes, this had been flagged as spam already. When I tried to report it however the report box with the radio buttons just hung. I was able to shut the box down though and then simply flag the post as spam.
Then I flagged all the other 3 copy and paste posts as well driving the negative score down to -11. Hopefully an automatic lock will kick in when a posters score gets down to a certain point suspending the accounts ability to post. Give us an incentive to report a spammers other posts. And maybe a badge!
Just want to say great job guys. no more redirecting errors and all links work. You guys have done a hell of a job on the site bring it into the 21st gaming century.
Just one small problem, when going to home link to main page it logs me out then when i try and login says can't find my user name.
i logout of main site mmorpg.com but i am still logged in here on forums.mmorpg.com. And not only that, even though i am logged out on mmorpg.com i can still post comments in the articles.
Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.

Yes this was explained earlier in the thread. Since our main site and the forums are two separate platforms their logins work independently. If you log out of the forums you do get logged out of the main site. But it does not work the other direction. We have a session timeout on the main site but not on the forums.
As for the comments on the main site. Those are hosted by the forums as well.
Your bottom-of-page links to the FAQ, rules of conduct, et al are missing on all forum pages. They are still available on the home page.

Why do you not show the date time stamp of peoples posts by default? That's pretty much forum design 101. Or let me guess there is an instruction manual that accompany's the new site, where after reading through it you can add in the features that were left out. I'm being silly but if your forum needs an instruction manual you did something wrong.

The timestamp is right under the avatar. Mouse over it for the full time if it's over a day old.
It's the time to manifest your destiny. I have to practice what I preach. I am telling you all to give the Addium vs Addium debate a rest. Addium pushes all the correct psychological buttons. I've put in a lot of research, hard work and time into Addium. http://tryslenderagarciniacambogia.net/addium/
When a post is flagged as spam and you mouse-over it to see who flagged it, the small pop-up list that shows flagger's names and avatars shows avatar correctly, but persons name as white on white background.
Moving mouse to that pop-up is really hard because you need to do it at the white triangle that connects the pop-up to the box below it. Otherwise your cursor hits the small gap between boxes and the pop-up closes automatically.
When trying to click that pop-up, it's possible to accidentally hit the "Flag" -button covered by that pop-up.
Amy_long's spam post above this post is conveniently flagged as spam so you can notice the problem's if you try to find out who flagged it and follow the link to the flagger's profile.
Along with the new forum not having the bottom of page listings there is something more important to the owners of this website that is missing. Forum pages are missing your copyright and trademark statements.

Is there any way to make the forums wider? It is about 60% unused black space on my screen.

I have cleared all of my bookmarks... and I still show as having 4. I was also getting messages from threads I don't have bookmarked, so I am guessing some do not show on my list correctly, so I can not cancel them.
This isn't an issue with the new forums but something that has carried over from last forums and has bugged me for a while. When you go to a new thread that you have never read before it defaults to the last page of the thread which seems backwards. Why would it take me to the last page of a thread if I haven't read the first page yet? Some forums dynamically take you to the last page *you read* even if it's in the middle somewhere so if that can't be done it should at least default to first page not last.
Avatar pictures presume fuzzy after uploading the image. Not sure if it's the size of the photo or a bug issue. Most pictures I upload have to be re-uploaded. Just wanted to bring that to your attention.
