To change the notifications by thread, use the drop down menu to the right of your username(in upper right corner) and go to Content I Follow.

Email notifications should now be fixed. However, the default setting was Email notification instead of Notification List. The default setting was just changed to Notification List. Just the initial default setting was changed. This was just changed so that new users wont have to opt out if they start following threads from the start, and start getting too many emails. This change in the initial default setting may have changed it from Email to Notification List for users that wanted it to be email. Users that want the Email notification, can change it to Email by going to "My Settings" (selection in the drop down to the right of your username at the top of the page near the login button) Click on the "Notification Options" tab on the left, and change any notification options there. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

The default was set for Email. I will change the default to Notification List. As a user, you can change it to your own preferences by clicking on the down arrow to the right of your username at the top the page(near the login button) and choose "My Settings", then select the "Notifications Options" tab on the left. There you can choose "Notification List" or "Email" for many different types of notifications. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

Email deliveries should be fixed across the forums now.

The account system caused some usernames to become all lowercase. This issue is now fixed. If your username has become all lowercase, you can resolve this by: After you log in visit account.bistudio.com Change your username in the top left corner Click on save changes in the bottom right corner Click on logout Go to forums.bistudio.com and also logout there. After those steps, and after you login again, your username should now have the proper case that you saved it as.

Hello, Once again, thank you kenoxite and everyone for taking time to report on issues and provide your feedback. I appreciate it and thank you for your patience. I have taken the list that kenoxite has been maintaining and wanted to respond to each item. There are still some items outstanding and the web team is continuing to make improvements. I made my text Aqua Bugs and glitches: 1. Links to latest posts are malformed for not logged in users. The web team had made some changes to the view latest content. I have since tested this with logged in user and non logged in. The non logged in user is not presented with the blue dot icon, indication of new unread content, so I was not presented with link when logged out. 2. Email notification isn't properly configured. The web development team is investigating email notification functionality. 3. It's not possible to save drafts when the recipient has his/her PM bin full. The private message's limit was increased for all users. There should now be more space for private messages. 4. Threads with polls light up as unread every time a vote is made. The web development team is investigating the notification system for new/unread content and its trigger from additional poll votes. 5. You can vote on your own threads. I mean, the stars at the top of a thread. This is still the case, however using like button has been disabled for self posts. We will continue to evaluate the rate feature and its configuration. - - - Missing features: Features that were present in the previous version of the forums that haven't been implemented in the new version yet. 1. Missing ability to set the amount of posts to be displayed per page. There are certain forum system functions that rely on the counts being the same for link generation/resolution. We will continue to evaluate if we will be able to make this customizable per the user settings. 2. Missing badge display in posts for supporters. Currently badges are only displayed in the Profile page. The web development team are continuing to evaluate the display of badges within the new design. 3. Missing the Community groups. There were certain aspects of the groups in the old forums that were customized in a way that prevented a straight migration over to the new forums. The web team currently investigating a migration from the old forums. 4. Missing bottom panel showing server time, etc. The web team are discussing the display of this info. 5. Smiley selection is way too limited. At least compared to the previous version. Currently in the process of adding back in and testing all previous emoticons. They will be available again soon. 6. Missing ability to set format of time and date. To 24h, american date formatting, etc. Selecting a timezone is available in your "My settings" page. 7. Missing ability to state a reason when displaying the "Edited by" text. Indication and display of reason for Edit is on the list with the web team. 8. Missing ability to export PMs as xls. While the "Archive this conversation" feature might help with saving PMs (once email sending is fixed) it still seems quite limited compared to the ability to export as xls. There is currently an issue with the Archive conversation feature. The web development team are looking into the issue and as email and xls. 9. Missing button to easily insert videos in posts. This is available, when making a post, by clicking on the icon to the left of "Font". Hovering over the Icon, the alt text says "Special BBcode", click on it brings up a window with a drop down, in the drop-down select "Media", paste in, for example, a Youtube URL in the "Media URL" box and hit OK. This will add the BBcode TheUrl you put in in the post. 10. Missing ability to easily create nested lists. When creating a post, to create nested list, select the items and hit the "Increase indent" button near the text align buttons. test 1 test 2 test 3 test 4 11. Missing more forum layouts. The web development team will be looking into theme options. Careful consideration is being made in the discussions on the UI and color use for BI web pages, and between different BI game titles. Partially solved or unkown status issues: 1. Inconsistency in the number of the displayed page when browsing through page numbers. Confirmed this issue soon after going live after the migration, but it was not consistent for repeat. Some of the data for forums pages were updated during that time. Changes were made and issues were fixed with that data. Have been testing for this over the past several days and I have not personally repeated it. Please let me know if there is a way to repeat this. - - - Suggestions and Inconsistent/Suboptimal behaviour: 1. You are directed to the main forums page whenever you log in. Agree that you should stay on the page you are on, if you login on a page that is not the front page. The web team will be looking to change this. 2. Quote or multiquote isn't available in the "Reply with more options" or "Full editor" screen. Fixed. 3. The Friends list doesn't seem to serve a purpose right now. One would imagine that they would work, among other things, as a "Contact list", so you can easily select any of them when creating a new PM. Yet, there's no link nor any other way to access your Friends when composing a PM. Hover your mouse cursor over the username brings up the profile card of the user where you can select to message the user directly from there. 4. No inheritance in forums selected via "Filter by forum" in New Content. While not an issue per se, this isn't the behaviour I was personally expecting. I thought that by selecting the parent forum ("or subforums hub", such as the ARMA: COLD WAR ASSAULT / OPERATION FLASHPOINT one) all the children elements inherited that selection. Actually, you have to manually click every single subforum for this to work as (I) expected. If this behaviour stays, you could as well remove the parent ones, as selecting them does absolutely nothing and just confuses things. Investigating this one. 5. uBlock must be disabled to proceed correctly through the login process Several login issues have been resolved, but there may be more that need to be investigated and addressed like this one. 6. Font styles and link format bleed to the blank space after a word or line break. As in: underscore strikethrough link etc. It'd be preferred to contain all that to pages and have styles close after line breaks. When editing the post, if there is content that you have written that contains the strike-through or other style, you can highlight that text and click on the eraser icon to remove the formatting. 7. The current forum layout uses way too much vertical space. BI web pages including the forums will soon have updates done to the style of navigation and headers to reduce vertical space and to make it more compact. Some changes to vertical space on the forums have already changed. 8. Multiquote limit is inconsistent. While it allows you to multiquote a whole page (20 posts) you won't be able to post that unless you trim it to 10 or less quotes. This issue has be logged and the web development team has been testing changes. 9. Search function doesn't allow common scripting/modding or military terms if they are under 4 characters. Such as sqf, sqs, COP, FOB, etc. This is an issue and we are looking to resolve it. The web development team is investigating changes and considering performance and functionality. 10. It's too easy to get "trapped" inside a quote when editing one. If you delete the last line of a quote any further text you write will be enclosed inside that quote. You can only bypass that by changing to HTML/BBCode mode. I think this could be solved by forcing a new extra line whenever a quote is made, so there's always a buffer users can use to write below. Some changes were made to Quote/Multiquote. Performed testing, result: pressing the down arrow brings the cursor down one line below the quoted content, from there hitting enter adds lines below the quoted text. 11. Implement ability to quote only the part of the post you have currently selected. You can edit out portions of the quote to narrow it down to just the portion you want there. Understand the request here though. It will be looked into further. 12. Right-clicking an embedded picture displays the picture instead of showing the browser's context menu. Opera is the only browser able to bypass this behaviour. Fixed. Tested FireFox, IE and Chrome. 13. There's a hard limit of 10 maximum images per post. This limit seems a bit too strict. The web team are looking into settings, configuration and limits. No commitment to change on this one yet. - - - Here are some additional items either fixed or are currently being worked on. - Username all lowercase issue. Fixed. The account system caused some usernames to become all lowercase. This issue is now fixed. If your username has become all lowercase, you can resolve this by changing your username at account.bistudio.com after you login, go to account.bistudio.com change your username in the top left corner save changes in the bottom right corner click on logout go to forums.bistudio.com and logout(again) After those steps, after you login again, your username should now have the proper case that you saved it as. - Member Tile and group name issue.

Dear community, The forums were migrated from VBulletin to IPB. This brought it up to date with the same software that is used on the DayZ forums. The main purpose for the migration and update was to migrate it to the unified BI account system. This unified account system is used in the store, for new games and for all future features and services intended for the community. The are many changes from the previous forums. The migration did not occur without exposing/causing issues and we have been actively working to resolve those issues. Sorry for the inconvenience any changes or issues may have caused you and thank you for your patience.
