I only have 5 games displayed in the "game-related forums"

Post by nmego »

So, I used to have "all favourite games" displayed in the "game-related-forums". Now I can only see 5. Heck, Carcassone is not even one of my favourites.

Is this a bug, or is it intended?

It's probably a layout update to make the forum view less cluttered. I was confused at first, too.

Click on the text "Games Related Forums", then you can see all game forums.

Even when clicking on the sub forum, they are not ordered by last post like before. So I have to scroll through the whole list, which now includes everything, not just the games I've played before. Bug?

I've just noticed there's a subforum underneath the "massive wall" of "game-related-forums" that contains all the new posts of each "game-forum". So that's an interesting way to keep track of the most-recent game-related topics at once.

The only problem with that, is the massive wall above it. Here's a recommendation, why don't you allow to "fold" that "massive wall" as a default setting, with only unfolding it in case of someone wants to look at a particular game forum (then again, if it is not in the "recent posts", most people won't care, but w/e).

Also, I'm confused on what criteria the "5 forums" that are displayed by default are chosen. For starters, Carcassone is not a favourite game of mine. And kahuna doesn't even have a single thread!

I think this is something that broke while they were trying to fix something else. The 5 games shown happen to be forums numbered 30-34 in the database.

Definitely annoying, as when showing all the subforums doesn't sort by recent posts, but I don't think it is a critical issue.

Hm, there is a bug report on it if people want to upvote it.
