New official runescape forums

So what do you all think of the new forums?

You can now use smilies and have your own profile!

I think its a very good update

Sounds cool, but im not a member so I dont really care :P

Bump every 10 minutes blows. Your topic goes off the first page after a minute or less during high traffic times :roll:

yea.. theres just too many users for runescape to adopt the fansite markets forums policy.. :cry:

i really cant stand it, profiles i think is a big mistake. Mainly because people will start spamming the forums to get there post count up because they think that will make them cool. Also i dont like how each topic is seprated if you know what i mean.

There's still a bunch of hyper-active kids in there bumping their posts every 10 seconds anyway. If it weren't for them you wouldn't have to bump your posts nonstop to stay on the first 5 pages.

It would be nice if the market threads didn't look like this

• selling such and such

I think that by removing the need to log in to initially view the forum (like they did with highscores a few months ago), Jagex are missing the bigger picture - that it's irritating and poor website design to force people to log in more than once to access different sections of the game. There should be a universal log-in that means i can access both the game and the forums and any other things that shoudl require a log in, without having to mess around putting my password each time.

Thy did explain this when they implemented it though. Yes it is annoying, Yes, I wish that you didn't have to do it. Yes, I wish they would change it back. But you can kinda understand why they did it. They were getting (and still recieve) a hell of a lot of customer support complaining of unfair bannings or incidents of hacking where they had been logged onto their 'secure centre' and someone had come along and changed the password and recovery settings. As it stands, it is undeniably more secure. Gets on yer bosoms, but nonetheless, secure.

Just dont like official forums style, dark everywhere with full cabbage topics...... never used it
