Forum buddy for me is still here but the top of the forum which lead me to different parts of the site are gone.

Forum buddy was only gone for ~10 minutes fortunately, and the top part has indeed been removed for reasons.

Fortunately they temporarely changed the gamerConnect banner/link with the VGC one though.

What was the reason for it? If its not to be discussed in public, feel free to PM me.

From what I gather the removal of the forum buddy was a slight accident during site changes they were/are making.

Removal of the "topbar" is part of the ongoing process of switching over to the new sites/system, and was intentional.

Looks like it has been renamed to "VGChartz Buddy" and it even follows you to the main page! (VGChartz)


'Effing sweet! I always wanted it to be on the main page as well.

He was just a forum groupie really. He left you as soon as you were knocked out of the Greatest User tournment; you just didn't notice it.

He's probably stalking RolStoppable now.

Well I remember I hit wide screen on my tablet at some point and it popped up. I thought it was the site messing up so I took widescreen off. It was off to the right of the screen. My PC is old so I probably have that problem. I guess I should did and see what I can do about it.

GamrTV gone for good then?

Yeah I only see half of the buddy on my ol' laptop. The resolution there is about 1200*800 pixels.


Can it be fixed or is it just something that people with old computers have to live with until they stop being cheap and get a new one?

Google "How to change screen resolution Windows [whatever version of windows you have]"



Signature goes here!

Dreaded English mafia had to be hot on his heels if he had to change his name! Happy he's back with us and not on the bottom of the Thames with those fancy concrete shoes Don Brett made tailor for him!

I still have my forum buddy, but thats just because I make sure to keep it satisfied every night.

I've never lost mine, it loooovvvveeeessss me! ^_^
On another note, I have to minimize VGC all the time too. It's not formatted well to be able to see the indicator colors on the forum buddy.
