DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Is there a chance that you could make a "Latest Posts" window on the left under the status window? Also maybe with the popup that shows you a line of the discussion. I think that if it was available, more people would view the popular threads without having to go into the forum categories. And,as a regular forum member, you wont miss what your friends are discussing. Here is an example: My university forum: http://www.3dhit.co.uk/ If this is already available, then sorry. shoot me now!

Psy 350 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 It's a possibility. Doesn't look like it's included by default so we might need to find a mod for it. I just didn't want to put too much clutter on the right hand side and the status updates seems to be taking up a lot of room anyway (which is good that it's popular).

DuffMan 266 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Well, you can watch threads and have updates sent to you via PM/inline notification/email, or you can use the bottom of the sidebar to track topics/forums. To see new posts you can just click 'View New Content' in the top right. Are those of any use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 On my homescreen, it says "Latest topics" and shows the most recently created topics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 @QD Yeah, i see that too, but it's not as good as latest post. Say the forums get really busy close to the release of the next GTA, you wanna know what threads people are currently raving about rather than 20 latest threads that all say "When is the release date?"

ViceMan 1380 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Are you going to readd the PS3/Xbox username display to the profiles? (Didn't want to create a new topic just to ask that question BTW.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuffMan 266 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Are you going to readd the PS3/Xbox username display to the profiles? (Didn't want to create a new topic just to ask that question BTW.) Totally forgot about those. I'll add them in a mo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go here >> http://www.igta5.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=notifications First option. Though I'm not sure if it will show your email address publically, but rather let people send you emails through the forum. Don't want bots harvesting your email address afterall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holocaust 14 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Well, you can watch threads and have updates sent to you via PM/inline notification/email, or you can use the bottom of the sidebar to track topics/forums. To see new posts you can just click 'View New Content' in the top right. Are those of any use? I'm loving the 'Watch this thread...' feature, comes in so handy for keeping tabs on a discussion you're actively involved in. vBulletin had a 'Hot Topics' button for ages and I'm so glad IPB finally got on board with it. Features like this will only make iGTA5 so much better than the older forums. Good work, Psy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Post-traumatic amnesia 499 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 I voted no because I don't think it's needed, and I want the main forum page to not become cluttered. It's enough with all the status updates. Less is better IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
