The forums fail... even more
2009-10-10 1:37 PM PDT
I wonder when Xfire can manage to change the forum software. The current phpBB 2 hack-up is failing in so many ways. And I know I am not the only one thinking so.

It has happened to me more than a few times that after I post a message I notice a little typo so I go edit the post and submit the fixed version. The forum software would complain "You are not allowed to make another post so soon." But I was not making another post, I was fixing an existing one! So in other words the forum software does not want people fixing their mistakes quickly.

Then another thing: when you post a new reply and double-click the Submit button. It allows that and does actually post two identical replies with the same submit time! So you are not allowed to edit your post quickly, but you are able to post multiple replies in rapid succession? Doesn't this seem a bit backwards?

I agree with you.

The forum is not on a level with the site and the forum search function is an epic fail

the site's forums still need work, but at least the search has gone from epic fail to epic win, right?
