95% of links.

You're hopeless.

Yoda there is no point giving you individual links, because it doesn't work with ANY link. Pick any link from anywhere and it doesn't work. It doesn't work from the first time you try to the hundreth time you try.

I already told you what the problem was -- it stopped working after the first link.  So the point is if you had followed the steps to see what was happening, it would have worked like this,

  1. Went to Eurogamer
  2. Copied news article on 3DS price - link
  3. Pasted and it worked
  4. Went back
  5. Copied this article - link
  6. Pasted and it didn't work

Actually paying attention to the process and it'd be pretty obvious what was happening.  Instead, I'm left to my own devices and am under the assumption it's an IE issue.  If I know generally what the problem is, I know roughly how long it will take, and the problem will be fixed sooner.

Yoda, what I mean is, there is no point in me telling you the process because it's not one link or one site. It's all sites and all links. I have been manually doing the updates for weeks now and it's getting painful.

This is the process:

  1. Went to any game site on the internet
  2. Copied news article link (any link) with Ctrl C
  3. Pasted and it didn't work
  4. Tried with links from any other game site on the internet, multiple times
  5. Pasted and it didn't work

My process when I get "pasting link doesn't work."

1. Copy link

2. Paste link

3. It works

Now what?

Now you get on a plane to london.

Seriously, I've used different PCs to test it. Still nada. Windows Vista, Windows 7.

IE8 on both.

Adding Profile options (Change Avatar, Write Review, etc.) to an optional dropdown under Profile in the menubar: Yea or Nay?

^yeah, that'd give those option more exposure.

=-=-

Okay, so roll with this, I klnow it may be hard.

In addition to the + / - we add a gold coin icon that is for "post of the week". Each user gets to spend one coin per week to nominate a post for the POTW.  The person that uses the token gets some user points.  Maybe some points also for the recipient.

On the front page, we have a section for POTW, that lists, just as the current lists do, those posts.

-=-=-

Second suggestion, and again this may be tough, but maybe someway of indicating when a new podcast is up, either by changing the background color on the PODCAST tab, or something like that.  I know I post it to an entirely different site, so it may be impossible to automate, but even if you come up with some manual way for me to trigger it, I could do that when I post a new one, and take it back down after 3 days.

Or some way to get a new podcast onto the front page.  You are much better at this stuf than I so of course I'd be interested in how you'd attack it.

I'd tell GG to subscribe to the RSS feed.

I'm going to formally suggest that the voting posts up and down option needs to either go or be changed.

I like the hide button and feel that it should hide permanently, like minusing a post does.

The minusing of posts seems to be used in almost a gang up way and always seems to elicit bad feelings on the site and a negative response.

Maybe leave the option in of plusing posts up though.

i second this notion.  i am not happy with the minusing

as gg said it makes it very easy for a mob "gang up" reaction and it doesn't promote discussion

I suggested this weeks ago.

Foolz suggested it was another way of having the Silence Iga button. Nyaa

Thanks to CVG I've already been called an ignorant troll. LOL
