Oh no, that wastes 2 seconds of your important time! AHHHH!!!!

Oh well, at least they fixed the bugs I reported 6 months ago.

It wastes a helluva lot more time than that. With a matching password, all you had to do before was to change the username in the ID box before each post. Now, you have to actually log in as a different user, and it takes a good minute, even with my cable modem. And when you do this as a regular thing, it is one major headache.

I've been doing it all along and it doesn't bother me.

Well it is really cumbersome compared to the old interface, and I think its pretty much a pointless feature, IF you can call it a feature.

I call it software de-evolution. We're travelling backwards towards Beta!

Here is a simple answer. Don't like it? DON'T USE IT! YOU DIDN'T PAY FOR THIS, DID YOU? STOP WHINING!!


Woah, felt like the CS forums at the release of a new update :)

There's only one thing I have to say to this new update ... AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!

Seriously, I'm wasting more time switching between accounts than actually writing posts.

ezBoards are sooooooo in for a big fat complaint from me!

Yeah this sucks donkey balls....I post with Rama and all my other RP accounts on one vist. This really slows me down. I agree with LL it's like a step backwards instaed of forward.

This really, really sucks.

Rwaper, whether we pay is not the point. the point is, they are providing a platform to produce ad revenue. We get exposed to the ads. We may even click one. EZboard is then paid by the advertisers.

If you, as a poster did not exist, that would be one less reason for an advertiser to pay EZboard. YOur participation helps pay, indirectly for this service.

Thence, you do pay. You pay by you time and your participation. The more users who post, the more EZBoard may get in revenue. THEY are developing a service to attract more posters. It's in their interest to keep posters happy. And clearly, posters are not.

I see ezboard made another one of their all-so-glorious upgrades again... didn't they learn from the last time?

Kat, the problem is that many people around here post as 3,4, even 5 different characters. They used to have a way for you to change the user name and post as someone different, without going and logging out, then logging back in again, then pulling up the post page, but now they've taken that feature out, so it's much more time-consuming and tedious for those of us who post multiple characters.

And the fact is, the problem that disabling that functionality was supposed to fix, is not. This is a downgrade if I have ever seen one. It annoys the hell out of me as I post under a different name on a bug fix forum. I do NOT appreciate being forced to log / log out when I want to post under a different name, for legitamate reasons. It should NEVER be a default, it shoudl ONLY be an option

Stop whining. Geez. Your acting like a bunch of babies over this. Well, sorry ezboard's increase in security has hindered your precious time. But this is a free service and one of the best ones out there.

I'm sure everyone here is man/woman enough to accept your apology Castor.

I'm sorry.
I see ezboard people work all day and night to fix bugs.
I'm sorry.
I've seen some people I know who work at ezboard get irritated and frustrated because they never get positive resposes for their hard work.
I'm sorry.
The service is free and optional. If you don't like it, your not wasting money.
I'm sorry.
I've not seen a better forum provider than this one. The staff at ezboard are few and great. They have worked long hours to try to maintain a easy to use, secure enviroment.

Im sorry your unable to grasp the concepts that I can so plainy see.

I'm sorry that I have to visit yet another board that bitches day after day about every little thing that goes wrong.

I'm sorry that you think that you are in the right. Maybe each of you should "adopt" an ezboard staff member and attend to all the harrassing emails they get for their hard work.

Maybe one day, you should send an e-mail thanking them for their hard work. Sure, I play a bastard in this RPG, but you guys are doing my part for me to ezboard.

Heres what I say: Keep up the good work ezboard!
