[SOLVED] Game Request Forum Upgrade

SilentWalrus · 07-02-2008, 10:01 PM

This probably isn't possible, but here it is.
I think in the Game Request forum when clicking on the New Thread Button, there should be a little pop-up type device that shows the new poster to use the Official Game Request Template, to use the search button first, and it tells them the Zune's gaming capabilities.
I personally, among numerous other people would be extremely please with seeing this implemented.

That is an awesome idea, I know theyt can do a "you need to view this page before continuing" page.

SilentWalrus · 07-02-2008, 10:04 PM

Thanks, stkr has told me that this would be very useful in many other forums.

stkr · 07-02-2008, 10:05 PM

This would eliminate a lot of useless threads.

SilentWalrus · 07-02-2008, 10:07 PM

The moderators in the Game Request forum has got to post on at least 10 different threads a day saying, 'Please use the Official Game Request template located in my Sig.'
It's crazy how people really need to use there damn eyes.

True, this would be very helpful, but might not be possible for vBulletin. However, I can be wrong...

No doubt im glad you thought of this because it is a waste of time. just getting people to use the template is atleast like Walrus said a days worth of work not to mention the search function there has to be a hundred+ multiple threads requesting the same stuff.

You just gotta accept that some people aren't going to use it.
There's a help template too.
I'll be damned if 3% of people use that.

Shinigami. · 08-05-2008, 12:51 PM

yeah its bad, but thats why we are here.

Netrix · 08-05-2008, 03:02 PM

Well I am sure that I could help if I were to be given some thread-closing powers... *wink* *wink*

Shinigami. · 08-05-2008, 07:36 PM

its not that we need to close threads all thime its just reminding people that they need to search for the games they are requesting before posting it. but hey all help is welcome but its not up to me.
