Oh Nooo...What Happened to PG?

[venom]

[MENTION=4177]NaNoW[/MENTION] of all the improvements that you have made lately, this is best one to date.

CHEERS!!!

ofcourse, PG is as much your community as anybody elses. thats why we have suggestion section

Well in that case, I'll just drop off my suggestions here:

Instead of tags, could quote, or bolds, or strikethroughs appear as though they've worked? By that I mean, I get to see them as how they would look like when posted before I post them (I know I know, I'm not good at explaining). For reference, there's serenesforest.com. Again, sorry for my bad explaining here, so I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here.

when I'm trying to reply to someone (especially after I quote), the space bar doesn't work. I have to move the cursor up and down a bit to have it work. Could you look into that and if possible, fix it?

Good changes. While we're here and suggesting. PG could also not suffer if we actually lose a couple of fluff sections in the forums. At present, they're mostly just for archival purposes or get one new post every few days.


For example:

- We can completely eliminate "PC Hub" "Xbox Hub" "PS Hub" "Nintendo Hub" under general gaming. All topics of relevance are already posted in the main general gaming topic.

- To avoid people making 1 question topics, we can make a big general "Ask your simple questions here" topic in general gaming here all the one line questions like "How much is xbox S is pakistan these days ?" would be transferred.

- Online community can also be merged into a single subsection. We can use tags for console/PC specific topics. We don't need 4 sub sections for this.

I get what you mean. Bold, Underline, Italics work without code showing. Unfortunately, for strikethrough, spoiler and quotes, this is hard coded into the reply editor of theme software we use. I can ask our tech guy to see if he can do something about this, but I will be honest, that it wont be at the highest of priority for now.

This bug was introduced by VB itself. It has effected nearly all the forums hosted on VB. As soon as they fix it, we will be able to implement it.

A easy workaround this is put a . (dot/period) first, then go back left to it and continue writing normally.

This was suggested, but put aside for later since as you hinted, that users are asking for advice, hardware and software questions in that section or tips, guides, tutorials and some specific stuff related to a platform. I think if we continue to see that they arent being used more often, we will have to scrap them.

- Online community can also be merged into a single subsection. We can use tags for console/PC specific topics. We don't need 4 sub sections for this.

Something similar was suggested for Online. @StrikerX specifically wanted game-wise distribution of stickies/sections to appear on frontpage instead of based on platform. This too will need to be further looked into.
There is something major underwraps with respect to further forum changes hopefully in a couple of months, so I will leave that stuff till then.

Where is the Automobile Section ????

Where is the Automobile Section ????

Finished and merged into Chit Chat Cafe. There will be a Sticky for it soon. More changes to follow. =)

 

[Static Eyes]

I have another suggestion.

Can we have a separate section specifically for forum, or even just mafia forum games? I think they would be fun to play around here.

Although I wouldn't mind having the Fun Room section fill the role of having forum games instead. Could Chit Chat Cafe however also work?

That's a good change , looks more like a gaming forum now. Still waiting for the last post section of the hardware zone to be fixed

Some pg members suggested this layout many years before, anyway now its a gaming forum. Waiting for hardware zone settings.
