Probably someone has restored broken version while doing some restore from backup. :P

Thanks kodeen.

The wanted list will apparently be replaced (no clue about an ETA though) so gog probably won't be wasting time patching up the current one. The current one was always lacking and IMO it wasn't an accident that the link to it was removed from sight when gog moved out of beta ;)


Thanks, at least Firefox users can do something about it.

Looks like Stylish is also available on Chrome and I think Opera lets you change style sheets without an add-on (not sure though).

My user style:
@-moz-document url-prefix('http://www.gog.com/') {
a.link_arow,
a.link_arrow {
background:url('http://static08.gog.com/www/forum_carbon/-img/link_arow.gif') !important;
}
}

EDIT: Posting killed the spacing.

Awesome, thanks a bunch. Just installed Stylish for Chrome and i have the arrow back ;)

The URL tag that automatically gets applied to any pasted link, cuts off the final / causing some links to not work correctly.

Thanks bansama.

It appears that GOG has finally (FINALLY!) fixed the order of results returned when using the forum search function. It looks to me like it now returns the best matches first instead of last. Incredible, that it should take them 3 years to flip the "order by" clause.

Awesome, the in house search was always pretty week since, well, ever, nice to see it spruced up.

Maybe now they'll get around to fix the 'invisible' threads too, fingers crossed.

The voting system for the reviews is buggy.

Steps to reproduce: Visit any gamecard, for example the latest addition, Desperados 2. Currently, there are only two reviews, and the second consists of only two words, so you want to down-vote it as no helpful. Click no, see the thanks for your vote sign and then refresh the page. Voila, your vote sign is absent, so it seems that you haven't voted yet - not true. If you vote again (yes or no - it doesn't matter), you also see a bug with the vote counter as it can't process correctly your second vote. Now, I know that sometimes votes registration used to delay, but this happens regardless of the delay. And yes, if you note the helpful votes (before and after your choice), you see that you can vote only once. A possible solution in order to see which reviews you have already voted: change the sorting option (more recent/helpful first) and all your vote signs are back.



Another bug, I think should be mentioned:

Main page not loading completely

I can reproduce it on a slow connection (Firefox). From the above discussion, we can presume that it happens on multiple browsers due to a poor ajax implementation or a slower connection to the server (maybe both?). Possible fix: refresh

The most recently replied-to thread cannot be marked as read (until another thread contains the most recent post, at which point that one begins to suffer the same condition instead).

Although I (intermittently) came across some strange marking activity, I cannot seem to associate the problem with the most recent post. For the second thread that you mention, do you mean a thread in general or a thread in the same specific sub-forum?

=====================================================================

Edit: I double-checked the general discussion sub-forum, and for me (at least) the marking problem manifested even when there was a newer post in another thread. Also the second thread was marked correctly as read, while the first remained (falsely) unmarked. Maybe there is a problem with wrong timestamps as the unmarked thread had also a "last update" attribute of "now" instead of e.g. "5 min. ago".

Hmm, yeah, you're right, it seems to coincide with timestamps being wonky and the thread showing "now" when the last post was several minutes ago. That might be why I haven't reported it until now, couldn't be sure of when it triggered (as for why I reported it now, dunno).

I rarely visit the game-specific forums, so I hadn't noticed it there (or at least I don't remember having noticed it, a more likely case).

.. on the othe hand, there have been cases where a post isn't added until several minutes after it's been submitted, so this might even coincide with that - the thread knows it has a new post, but the post doesn't show up and thus cannot be read... okay, I'm just flailing wildly here, but it may be something to think about.

Thanks guys.

The timestamps problem is indeed very annoying, clicking on the same thread multiple times because it's mistakenly marked as having new posts when in reality the last post was made minutes ago and already read is no fun. I wonder if it's the out of whack timestamps that are causing some posts to be 'eaten' as well.

Probably that. I've also seen (and not that rarely) posts saying "12 minutes ago" listed below posts with "5 minutes ago". I really think it all boils down to some very weird timestamp bug.

By my calculations, if GOG fixed that and *finally* added a "jump to first unread post" feature, the forums would instantly become 48.56% better.

I am not sure about this but I think it will usually happen when you click the thread while last post is marked "now".

Also, do others have also problem with PM's system or is something wrong with my browser? I have list of users in the middle of screen (instead of left) and converstion itself is beneath the user list not next to it.

Edit: Also, I just had similar problem with timestamps in PM as is in the threads. I got message, replied to it and mine is shown before the message I recieved and marked one minute older.
Edit 2: Happen to my conversation partner too so this is not fault of my browser.
