Dear Kings and Queens,

Today, we will make some changes to some forums. The reason for that is, that we have recently updated to a new forum software version, which allows for some additional features. We will do the following changes:
  • "Ideas & Suggestions" Forum will be changed to a "Suggestions" Forum. This will make voting easier and even allows to dislike an idea, without the need of a poll. Later, we will also adjust the forum rules accordingly to make that work correctly.
  • "Questions/FAQ" and "Game Help Section" will be combined and changed to a "Questions" Forum. This allows for answers to be set as solutions and being displayed in the thread. Answered questions will also be displayed accordingly in the thread overview. You are now also able to collect "Solutions" given for the Member Stats page.
  • Not done now, but probably in the near future: "Announcements" will be changed to an "Article" Forum, making the announcements a little bit nicer looking.
Since these forum types are very new and we have not yet worked with them, there might be some issues. Please tell us, if you find something, that does not seem right. The best way to do so is to write a direct message to me here in the forum. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Your Forge of Empires Team

Dear Kings and Queens,

We continue to make the forum experience better for everyone. Because of that, we have decided to do the following changes:
  • We are removing the Forum Announcement subforum and merge it with the normal announcement.
  • We restructured the Feedback subforum. We will no longer move the feedback pages from previous events and features to a subforum.
    • The Moderated subforum will remain, as it is technical necessary.
  • We move the Beta App area up a bit and include it into the General Section.
  • We are removing the World Forums Section and include it in the Community Area.
    • We are removing the MMR rating subforum, but will merge the threads together and keep it in the forum.
Apart from these changes, we are also working on updated outdated information (for example the Bug Bounty Program). If you have more ideas on what to improve or simplify, please post it here. Thank you very much!

Your Forge of Empires Team

Dear Kings and Queens,

Today we implemented another change. This time to the Spoiler Section. We have created a new subforum and renamed the old one to "Spoiler Discussion". In the new Forum only selected members can post new threads and responses. This is to give them a place to collect all the spoilers without something getting in the way. The only users with this right are currently @MooingCat, @NoVa and @beelzebob666. We will grant this right manually if a new Spoiler poster comes across. :)
The idea is for them to create posts there and link a discussion there too, so it is similar to our official announcements and feedback threads.
We have also used a new "article" format for it. It is a bit difficult to explain here, so just try using it and tell us what you think.
Lastly, we also look into adding more Prefixes (not only the Spoiler prefix), like "Ages", "Settlements" or "Events" and to give the Spoiler posters some basic moderative rights in the spoiler area, so they can edit the posts from the other spoilers posters as well, when they were faster or to move a thread to the archive. They however don't have to use these rights of course.

Our next plans are still to have a look at outdated pages and the possibility to offer a different theme for the forum (darker), However, this is not yet certain if possible and even so, it will be maintained by myself and not officially, so it might have some visual issues. We will announce it, once we get more information on that.

Hello everyone!
I am back with a new update. Firstly, it is sadly not possible for me to add a custom dark theme, however, you can use extensions for that if you want. However, please remember that these are external tools, not offered by us. One we could recommend is "Dark Reader", available in the Chrome Store and alternatives in other stores.

A new addition to the forum are new Smilies! We have added a bunch of Forge of Empires related ones.

If you are missing some, don't hesitate to post them here. But please remember, that we can only add ones, that are available from the game. (I know some of you probably would like to see some Pepe :p ).

In addition, we have now exchanged the old like icon with the "Battle Won" icon from the game! The old :like: can now be found in the Smilies tab.
Please note, that the icons have not yet been sorted inside their categories. If you think an icons belongs in a different category or new ones should be added, don't hesitate to write it down here.

We have now added more icons! They will be sorted later on. Also, we merged the Set and Chain icons into one category and created new city and unit icons categories. Lastly, we will add some more in the next couple of days again!
