To all people complaining about the lime green :

Shows that 360 has only brought catastophe to the gaming wolrd

A few small issues:

1) In the "my games" page, a quick link opening the search form page in gamrReview would be nifty to add owned games.

2) A lot of the AJAX controls don't give much feedback of their activity status. I can click on the completed button for an owned game, then wait a second before it gets its response and toggles. There's no indication of activity, though, so If it fails for some reason I just keep waiting for the toggle button to turn on, and wait, and wait... can't a discrete throbber be shown?

3) I personally like black-on-white, but for many people the white backgrounds are more disturbing if they strike the peripheral vision because the eye doesn't adapt as well to the lighting intensity. In forums, for example, each post is a black on grey, so my eye is usually poinitng towards a centered grey area, but on the sides I get way higher light intensity. Have you considered an inverted (lighter bubbles, off-white or dark grey peripheral background) pattern?

4) There's still no way to cancel the forum post reply thickbox thingie

Anyway, I see great changes being made by the hour, keep up the good work :)

Alright MM has a lot of good points here, but this is the most important one.

Dividing users into categories (sony,nintendo,microsoft,pc) makes the problem of trolling worse. People should be invited to participate on all forums in a way they see fit. Hot topics allowed people to do this, and individually accessing each forum is cumbersome and unnecessary. Remember, you want more than just supposed "Wii fans" posting about Nintendo issues. Compartmentalizing the forumbase even further by adding more forums (or so I've heard) will make the site even harder to navigate and inhibit meaningful discussion. Less forums makes more sense than more forums. 

My last point is that the social networking rubbish implemented in this version highlights what I said in February about VGChartz "becoming more and more of a generic, dime a dozen gaming site". The site is growing, I respect that, but in the process it has become a site that keeps going in a direction I don't agree with. I don't want to "connect" with gamers, I just want to post and read about video games with fellow enthusiasts. 

A low-bandwidth/mobile version of the site would also be a very good addition. Some of us with older PCs/mobile phones find it hard to navigate pages with video ads and poor site design.

I do agree that it's starting to feel a bit more like Facebook than a forum.  The wall post feed in particular lol.

Everything from your friends list to the way my post is a word bubble!

I agree that's a great feature, but it was already in VGC2.0 for quite some time.  But I'm glad it's still here! 

I see some issues have been resolved but there are still several big things that need tweaking.

1.  Avatars. Why are they smaller and what's with the white strip on the top left corner of them?

2.  The bright white background. Literally, my eyes are starting to water after trying to read the forums. I have to tone down the brightness just to make it tolerable. The old darker background was kinder on the eyes.

3.  Banned people. i don't know why they're banned or how long they're banned for. I liked reading their reasons- it taught me what not to do (leo-j and the 4 word min in particular) and knowing when they'll be back.

4.  forums. nightmare.

Woop woop! My recent threads once again grace the LHS of my screen - thank you for adding that in :)

Is there any way from that to tell if the thread has

No new replies

new replies

or new replies quoting one of your posts

As there was in 2.0?

No new replies show thread in grey
New replies show the thread in green
New replies quoting one of your posts also shows in green

Best I can tell:

grey = no new replies
green = new replies
orange = quote

However, the only thread in my recent history that showed up as orange contained a quoted post from BEFORE vgc 3.0 went live.  I have been quoted twice since then, in this very thread actually, yet both times the thread was colored green and not orange.  I assume that's something they're still working on.
