At the top right of every thread there is a link called "Subscribe to Thread". I assume it's supposed to add the current thread to your list of favorite threads which I assume would put it in the "Subscribed" section of the VGC buddy which would be useful if one wished to quickly find threads of particular interest without having to delve and peruse every single thread's title before the one you seek.
But when I click on it, nothing happens so I'm letting you guys know that something seems to be wrong with that link/button.

Somebody mentioned this particular problem in the New Forums thread, too. Is this the first time you're even noticing and/or trying to use this feature??

I can say from personal experience that when I tried subscribing to the Xbox Empire thread at first, it wouldn't work properly from the first page of the thread, so I had to go to a different page in the thread before it worked.

To be honest, yes. I tried recently cause I wanted to update my Netflix thread with the new stuff available in June and I had to dig up the thread buried under many others since no one had replied on it for a while and it was annoying to search for it so I thought about subscribing to it so that it would be easily at hand for the next time. But like I said when pushing the link nothing would happen.

As an experiment I just tried that with this thread and it did not work, or do you have to keep trying all pages? I tried like 6 or 7 different pages here and nothing. Does it always end up working for you on any thread? How many pages you try in a thread before it works? What about small threads with not enough pages to try? 

And a question to everybody: Does it work for some of you, most of you, a few of you?

Thread subscribing should be working again...

It is, I just subscribed to my Netflix thread and it worked like a charm, thank you kindly Talondude

Everybody check it out, I added a video of the stuff coming in June on Netflix and I plan to add one every month with the new stuff coming the next month. Aren't you guys curious to know what's new on Netflix?



Couple of small Issues I've noticed with the site:

The popup window that shows when you hover the mouse over the hardware tool doesn't appear on chrome for me, works on firefox which I used to take the following image:

Also it says "Week from" when it should be "Week ending"?

Lastly it would be nice if you could look at NA sales in the weekly/yearly hardware charts, instead you can only get USA data.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

So, I was looking for the forum index, and while I did find it just like usually, it took a bit longer than I would have liked. Thus, an idea came to me. This is where I was looking for it:

The main reason this took me longer than it should have is because forum stuff is at the bottom in the menu and there's nothing besides text to distinguish the elements from each other. I suggest adding an icon before each section  (i.e. Home, Profile, Members, and Forums) to help distinguish them from each other faster. The same can be applied to at least some of the other menus as well.

I also suggest renaming the menu from Forum to Social or something else more fitting, as forums are just one section of the menu - and that's the last section. I think this would be a quite logical change, and it should be fast to implement too.

It sounds like this might be a difficult time to request improvements but hey, adding this to a todo list ought to be fine even if it doesn't get worked on any time soon.

You can get to the forum index as usual by just clicking on "Forum" at the top. That hasn't changed. I think it looks pretty slick and icons would just clutter it.

The naming is absolutely fine. The forum is a separate entity from the site and everything in that menu is strictly related to it. Though it might be a good idea to move the forums section to top or second position.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
