Now it looks a bit like the reviews are going neglected because of their placement "below the fold" on the front page.  The redesign was due to an apparent need to shift away from just tossing aggregates of everything at the casual visitor.

I suppose the most consistent thing would be to apply the same treatment the blogs got, but I can tell you it's not going to happen as quickly.  Blogs essentially had the identical table structure for data as the forum topics.  Reviews are completely different.

Perhaps another way would be to add a Reviews tab, and then have a page of the most recent reviews (much as they are presented on the home page?)

I liked the old front page with the big old join button and all that and thumbnails.

This is why I don't even ask about these things anymore.

Couple of suggestions.

Instead of having the requirement for one tag on news posting, if no box is ticked, auto tick the news tag.

You're breaking my fingers here. Sad

Also, "hands on" add that the list of words that auto ticks the impressions box plz. Happy

The imposed requirement was added after the news trended significantly toward no tags unless it was automatically filled.  Adding in a default of "news" I whole-heartedly then expect essentially nothing to change except that now instead of not getting any tag because it went completely ignored, it will now get a possibly incorrect news tag.

If they're being applied correctly in the first place, then there isn't a problem at all with the idea.  If they're not, then it just makes things even worse.

You're so lazy Nyaa

I was thinking of suggesting of adding a Rumor checkbox, that seems to come up a lot.

And interviews! I usually end up tagging them as editorial I think.

I suppose they might fit under that anyway.
