Now that the site is global, can the forum be fixed?
This has been mentioned more than once in the past, but the way the login system works on the forum is very poorly implemented. Now that the site is global, how about bringing it into line with global forum protocol?
To reiterate the problem: you're browsing the forum and decide you want to make a post, but you're not logged in. You have to come right out of the forum, log in, and then find your own way back to wherever you were. Not exactly user-friendly!
The global forum protocol for this situation is that you click the reply/new thread button, the site tells you that you need to log in and takes you to the login page, and then [b]it automatically takes you back to exactly where you were.[/b]
Seriously, pretty much every forum in the world works like that. It's the standard, accepted way of doing it, and it's obviously far more user-friendly and professional. I've genuinely never encountered another forum that works in the irritatingly user-hostile way the EW one does.
If there was ever an ideal time to fix it, it's now...
