Just checking back in here for the first time in around a year and a half...only 60 users online across all forums?! These boards are pretty dear to my heart. It would be sad to see them die. Would anybody be willing to update me on what changes (or lack there of, knowing the history here) have occurred on the forums since early 2014? It would be much appreciated...
After-preview addition: over 10 years after first posting on them, I can finally experience BBcode on the RS official forums.
Dude.
Edit: do you really have to scroll down to the bottom of a long post now to find out when it was posted?

There is also a problem for windows xp users.
Since the latest Flashplayer version, Windows XP users can still play this game but they cannot login on this site.
And there are a lot more using windows xp than you would think of.
And I agree with the scrolling and how unfriendly this forum is too use.
If I have to change 1 letter because I made a typo, it cost me too much time.
My cursor is jumping everywhere but not on the spot where I want to change it.

We'd
strongly
recommend upgrading your Operating System. We no longer support XP especially since, as I'm sure you know, Windows have stopped supporting the system themselves. Including, very recently, any security support (

Not sure how Flash is affecting playing RuneScape either (maybe that bits gone over my head) but Flash in itself is currently experiencing some severe security issues, again although we don't recommend using this software at least for the moment (

)
I know it's easier said than done - but I really would recommend buying Microsoft
Vista
Windows 7* and taking advantage of the free Windows 10 upgrade.
*Thanks AoDude!
Note: I don't know how Microsoft feels about doing that so do so at your own risk - after some research
If you don't have control over the PC, use a different one!
