HypersomniacLive: That's one way to look at the poor job you've done with the forum functionality.
On another note - do you happen to know who we need to contact about the new avatars breaking HTTPS on our GOG account pages?
Ciris: I'm sorry, I was just trying to humorously explain an issue to lighten the mood, since I can't actively do anything about it at this moment (and wouldn't know how to go about it myself).
In case of any issues with the site or games or anything else, support is the #1 place to go. Additionally, I'll ask internally if there's any issue we know of that's causing that to happen.
Part of the frustration is that contacting support has done absolutely nothing. I've tried it, others tried it. It does not get results. From our perspective, tickets to support about the forum disappear into a black hole of apathy. TBH, I'm excited about the merger solely because it might signal that other people, who might possibly know how to build forums, are taking an interest.
While you're asking around, could you also bring up the major issue of GOG not being encrypted? Given how easy it is to hijack an unencrypted connection, all sites with accounts need to be HTTPS throughout, and HTTPS on GOG has been broken in many ways for months. In fact, there were working HTTPSEverywhere rules, which recent site updates broke (at least 1 thread on this issue).
The lack of security here is very offputing to me as a customer.
EDIT: Oh, and I forgot about the login bug where we can login, but the site header still displays Sign Up or Log In and we have to click on links until the header fixes itself and shows the Account link. If you could find someone to fix that it would be great.
