I agree completely 

well ads aint as annoying like the were at the start:P still annoying but by far not as

couple of issues:

1) For some reason SNES is missing from my sort by console list in My Games

2) View collection should be sortable by console. It's just a clusterfuck of unsorted games otherwise. What's the point?

3) This may be a problem on my end, but I can't seem to logout. Every time I try, I get a 404 Not Found error.


Besides these issues, I'm liking what I see so far. Keep up the good work.

I have a slight concern that threads have a harder time getting attention. With the last layout, threads had good visibility for a reasonable amount of time (depending on the level of activity of course), but it seems harder to spot new threads and keep track of threads in this layout.

But maybe that's just me not being used to the new layout yet. And still a fantastic job overall.

I kinda hate how the...er...links to pages in the thread are below the reply box. I would rather they were under the last post.

Guess I'll have to get used to it.

I also have a feeling latest topics isn't finished yet, it doesn't sort the topics on time. might have something to do with the subforums?

That seems to have been the case for me.  I've now realized that you can quickly select larger forum categories via Hot Topics (Gaming, Off Topic, etc.) as opposed to having to manually select each sub-forum individually, which quiets most of the complaints I had with the system. I feel like a fool for not having noticed that in the first place!

I only really have two questions now:

1.  What's up with the giant "Around the Network" box and ads in the middle of the Hot Topics section?  That's not present in the other boards, and it makes me want to use those boards instead, but then I'd have to shift through 21 boards individually.

2.  Is there any particular reason behind splitting up the Off Topic section into six different boards?  I imagine most people will be using Hot Topics to browse Off Topic, so the OT section hasn't really changed functioninally for them, which makes me wonder why it happened.  OT was pretty quiet before, so I can't imagine those topics each needing their own sub-forum for space.

Other than that, kudos on the work you're doing with the site!  It's come such a long way over the years, and save a few annoyances (too much extra stuff surrounding each post), this is the best the forums have been yet, in my opinion.  Functionally, I mean.

Edit:  Also, there seems to be an issue when I edit posts.  Instead of being shown my post after hitting submit, I'm instead brought to the first page of the thread.

This is neither a complaint nor a suggestion, but I wasn't sure where else to put it and it didn't seem to warrant a thread of its own, so here goes:

Browsing the points page, I noticed that you now get points for inviting a new user who signs up, but I have searched high and low and seen no sort of "Invite a Friend" option anywhere. Am I missing something, or do they just list you as a referral when they sign up, or is this a feature that has yet to be implemented?

It would be great if we could actually see the whole title of the GamrConnect threads in the HUB. Also if there could be more of them would be great as well. If find the threads created by the users in here as important and some times even more so than the ones that accompany by the side in the HUB.

I like the forum buddy, but a static stuck to the side would be best (move it right a few pixels and remove the right round corners).
Maybe you could use that left bar for forum related links, settings, etc, while keeping the right one with ads.

It's been said, but the color coding is a bit confusing, leave grey if there are no new post, green for new posts and the blue quote or orange alert if quoted. Still getting a few topics that are orange for no reason. Also, there must be a set limit on how high avatars/sigs can be.
