Oh hey, I like the change! Makes me do some maths and it's informative.

-I don't care for it one way or the other, but some people seem to run their whole forum presence based on their score and set out to make sure everyone elses score reflects what they think it should.

There is no accountability as to what you are smiting/applauding and why.

Some people have high scores and I can only guess (for some of them) it's because they are well liked by a devoted few who make sure to applaud them everytime they log in. Others have a certain score for inside joke purposes (Mop-It-Up @ 64 points & Megabyte with ELEET/31337 status). And some are endlessly smited regardless of whether they deserve it or not (Some do deserve it, but to be smited 20 times from one person over a single post is just ridiculous, now imagine it happening from 4-5 separate people at the same time).


What about getting rid of smite's?

I was going to suggest adding join dates next to the avatars, but then I remembered the forums got switched so many times until this alliteration, such a date would be worthless.

Yeah, I don't care much either way.

I do like the vBulletin's Reputation system, where the "smite" and "applaud" is tied to a specific post (the User still has an overall score, but they can see which posts they were positively rep'd for and which posts they got Negative rep's for).  The comments are anonymous, but admins/mods can see who left them so if there's any issues that arise.  It's a good system.
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

I like this. If we're going to keep the system, it should work like this.

The join dates we have recorded are for the Fusetalk forums, which opened on 2003-01-31. I have some very sporadic data from before that, but if anybody has any archived copies of forums from before that time, send them over, and I'll import them when I have a chance.

Who moved the friend code forums?  I do not approve!  I dislike change!

Who is rearranging the forums. STOP IT!!

please take all those sections that I don't read and stick them back in their own subsection so that I can click the little - button and make them disappear from sight once again. You are cluttering my forum. It looked better before. Please change it back.

Now who's complaining?   :Q

I agree with BlackNMild--change it back.

I wonder if they would move reader reviews if we put some awesome reviews in that section. By awesome I mean terrible. By terrible I mean awesome.

I agree with BnM, for basically the exact same reasons. I never read Matchmaking or WiFi support, and putting the friend code subforums in the main discussions seems pretty dumb now that the 3DS only uses one code and I doubt we'll see many more worthwhile Wii online games.

Requesting a spoiler tag button. There is no sense having it as a semi hidden feature if you want people to use it.

Staff Blog section disappeared.

Also, all this change is really off putting. is there a theme I can switch to that allows it to look more like it used to?

Sorry for the necro, but I'm pretty sure I've found a new bug. Or maybe it's a feature, I'm not sure.

I view the forum through "Show unread posts..." and do a quick refresh after I've read the new stuff to catch new posts mid-session. If a new Talkback is opened while I'm browsing, and I view it from Unread Posts and refresh again, it doesn't go off the unread list and the view count doesn't increase.

However, if I leave the site and return, it'll be off the list. Next time it comes up, I'll take a screenshot.

About all this forum rearangement I think it would just be best if the user him or herself can put the sections where they want and this would solve everybodys problems.

It seems that Staff Blog got assimilated into TalkBack.  I don't approve.

Perhaps resistance is futile?

Just want to ask if it's possible to make links posted in Talkback articles to open in new tabs instead of in the current tab. I keep accidentally closing NWR after following a link.

Any way to get the editor to stop showing CR/LF as two lines in the editor and one in the post?  Its annoying when doing large posts.  It seems to work find in the Quick reply.

I just got this while checking links in the rumor consolidation




Also while clicking on one of the links, it woudl take me to a completely different post on the same page.

While trying to click on

-Retro making DKCR sequel for Wii2?
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=16688.msg668753#msg668753


it would take me to the post for
-1up says: No Friend Codes for Wii2
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=16688.msg668681#msg668681


They are on the same page, and I've even checked the links themselves, recopied and saved, but the same thing keeps happening.


edit: now when I click either of those link, I get the red warning message up above.
I'm using Chrome BTW.
