I've already started a similiar thread, but I'd like to suggest an advanced version here:
The Live Events board does need a serious revamp; the way it's organized now, it's maybe good for keeping up with happenings by reading the current threads.
As an archive, for new players or for those reviewing them, it's chaotic and very inconvenient.
Here are a few self-evident (and from my point of view, not terribly difficult) suggestions how to change that:
1) Divide the board into three sections.
-The first one would be for the standard reports of already past events, the majority of the LE board -- an archive of all previous happenings.
-The second one would be for event announcements, from what I've seen, also the only type where the story characters use to post further messages. Seeing a thread in this board section, the user will immediately know that it's an announcement for an upcoming/running event, most likely with updates by story characters.
-The third and last one would be dedicated to LESIG introductions -- a perfect place to overlook all liaison officers at once instead of picking them from the LE board and eventually floating the thread to the top.
These have nothing to do with the current storyline, and should be definitely devided from the rest.
2) Divide the first section by chapters / subchapters / missions (right now, the events seem to base on the weekly released criticals), and highlight the threads directly having to do with a big event -- for example, the Blue Sky event had a lot of threads attached directly to its content, and things like these should be obvious for the user when he scrolls through the board.
Also, it would be rather helpful to provide certain threads with links to other threads reporting about related issues, or about a similiar event on another server: there were at least three threads by Agent Gray reporting about the Morrell Helipad -- connections between connected events should be easy and handy to find.
Instead of messing with the forum itself, a new section could be implemented into DN1, containing links to all the threads in the way described.
Share your thoughts, please.
