Topic: Ideas for the site

It be nice if we could directly post photos from our computer or phone or whatever. You can do it for your avatar so why not normal photo posting.

it's probably been suggested a thousand times before, but a preview feature for posting would be great. Keep up the good work.

A friend/ follow feature that allows you to easily access other people's info page, and see what they were commenting on etc.

Posted this in a different thread, then realised that this is probably the right place for it...

It would be really nice if the Wii U eShop 'Games > Out Now' section listed VC games as well as original content, just like the 3DS eShop section does...

I wish we'd be able to send friend requests to fellow members

Just a thought but what about putting the contact link at the top of the page instead of all the way at the bottom? I have noticed alot of people lately when they want to contact a mod or an admin they will put it in the middle of the thread and I know the chances of you guys missing a single message in a thread is high. I am not sure how much work that would entail and that might be a bigger pain in the butt to move, but I just thought it would be easier for people to see if they need to get in contact with you.

How about a favorite users list and a messaging system to send messages to each other.

Ant has already stated why there is no message system in this thread.

And it's not easy to spot if you don't already know where it is.

Actually, it used to be at the top of the page — i guess the 'contact us' button was moved... i hadn't even noticed, haha, but to be honest i haven't really noticed any sudden increase in users not using it. feels about the same IMO :3
edit: i see what happened — apparently it was moved when the onmousehover 'channels' option was added to the site to take care of the tab clutter at the top of the page, haha. but i still can't say that i see an increase now in users unable to find the link. the only difference now is probably that we have twice the users is all :3

Funny you all mentioned that. I just used the contact us button to ask about using an avatar that could have spoilers for a game in it....
I found the button pretty easy myself. A lot of sites have that near the bottom that I've seen.

@Joshers744: I agree, most websites you go to nowadays have all their fine print and contact information at the bottom. if anything, that should make things easier for our users to find if they're looking :3

Ok no worries than. Obviously I have no way of knowing if it works or not I am just going by what I see in threads thats all. I have noticed in increase in

@TBD: Why did you change my pic blah blah blah in the middle of an ongoing thread and be quite honest it disrupts the flow of the thread. That and I know that you all just dont hang around the forums all day (even though I am sure we would all like that) and I thought that maybe its because some people didnt know we have the contact button.

I'm sure someone probably brought this up before I did, but why doesn't Nintendo Life have it's own "User Reviews" section? On sites like these it's sometimes nice to get a second opinion on both current games and ones that were released years ago - and not just from the site staff but also from your fellow readers who you frequently interact with. Not to mention, it would be nice to see a site based around game journalism to promote writing for others too. Hell, just a general "Art and Writing" section would be good. Surely it couldn't hurt?

Can we add some sort of on-screen notification to warn us if anyone has posted while we were writing our post, and then show us the new post?

GASP you want to stop all ninjas? u_u

I don't think this has been suggested yet, but I think it would be better if the "Reply to This Topic" box was above the page links. I do not like to have to scroll through a list of pages just to reply.

There's a Post Reply button at the top just below the thread title, on the right. That'll take you straight to the reply box

@antdickens the query string is missing from the post reply link, so it loads the first page of the thread and anchors to that pages' reply box, rather than just anchoring to the one on the currently viewed page. Can you tweak that?

I have an idea. Perhaps you can send emails to those who posts get quoted on the forums

Hmmm, it really surprises me that, for this year's E3, the site hasn't taken on a new look.

Where's your Electronic Entertainment Expo spirit nintendolife?
