I totally forgot " /?staff=yes ", thanks for the reminder.

I tried that in the middle of my vacation, before the flags issues was fixed, or "fixed." In my forum setup, that takes me to page 66, which are all blue responses. However when I then try to go to page 65 it takes me to the original page 65 full of non-blue and from August 2013.

Is there a way around the way this functions that anyone is aware of? The return of flags certainly helps in not needing this quite as much.

Just FYI, the slash before the question mark is unnecessary.

If you want to get to page 65 of only blues, use:
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_update_thread/page65?staff=yes

If you want to get to page 65 of everyone, use:
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_update_thread/page65

note that the page number depends on the number of posts per page your defined (20 in your case, I presume).

I don't know of a way to pass the argument so that the GOG link builder uses it for the whole thread. So you need to manually append the staff filter argument each time. A pain, that, when all you want to do is browse page-to-page.


This particular one was sussed out by folks looking at those "star" badges next to certain threads. When you click those you just get the staff posts, and it was quickly worked out that adding the above to any URL does the same thing.

I learned about this one by going to the general forum:
http://www.gog.com/forum/general
and hovering my mouse over the starred exclamation mark appearing near some threads (e.g. this one).

@IAmSinistar + @mrkgnao:
Thank you for this useful information. Until now I did not even know that you can click on the star :)

As they've said, I just looked at the bar after clicking the star.

What I know of by now:

?search=word
?staff=yes
https://www.gog.com/account/refresh

I don't know if there is a list somewhere.

There is a list one post before this one.

Thanks for the answers guys!
