The new EVE Online forums are live once again and include a variety of new features, including a compact view, a character dropdown list, the hide posts option, RSS Feeds, new search functions, the new notifications function and a selection of customizable backgrounds.

The old forums will stay active until Friday, September 9 so players can complete any final discussions. Once they shut down, the old forums will remain fully viewable, but in a read-only mode. Threads and posts from the old forums will not be included in the new forums.

Back in April, CCP launched the new EVE Online forums and then quickly took them down due to security issues. They became available again for testing in June before officially launching today.
