Are there any more definite plans concerning policy on Game-Specific Threads?

Would it be possible to add in the game specific boards the option to choose the console you wanna check? So if I want to check a PS3 game board, I don't have to skim the pages till I find it

Bug report: When you create a thread and you link it to multiple games, the thread appears in hot topics once per game linked

Some slight adjustments to hopefully clean things up a bit - again, NONE of this is etched in stone, just trying a few things out here:

1) Game Specific topics will no longer appear in any 'standard' boards anymore.

2) There is a 'Game Specific' board available in the index - entering this will present a list of each game that has topics started and allow you to enter the board from there.

3) Boards are still available through the game page as well.

Let me know if there are any problems...

Hmmm....

The "last post" function does not seem to work on the Game-Specific Boards directory. Notice: my last post in Spirit Tracks is not the last to be shown!

Also, the function that lists all the active game boards is nice but it's goign to get really long pretty soon. May I humbly suggest simplifying it, so that it simply displays all of the game-specific threads as a list, like any other board?

Fixed. No more 'game specific' threads in Hot Topics...

Do you think this will affect the visibility of these threads?

Well, I'm not sure if that's the best idea, as hot topics is how people see 99% of the threads, but I'll guess that'll fix the bug

@khuutra - looking at the bug you reported. Not sure if I addressed your other question by having the selectable drop-down for consoles.

@zexen - I'm trying to find a way to clean-up the Hot Topics a bit. I could put them back, but figured it might be a little neater than having all of these threads flooding that board. This is only a test... :)

I'm sorry, I will try to communicate better.

I mean like - you go into Nintendo, you see all the Nintendo topics.

So if you go into Game Specific, you could see all the Game Specific topics?

Although....

Hm.

I do have an idea but it would be a pretty major change
