The floating page navigation buttons thing... I only seem to see that in this thread (perhaps a few others, can't recall definitively, but certainly don't see it in most other threads I don't think). Is that by design or is it more browser weirdness?
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
While I can relate to the downside of sometimes missing context for conversations, and it is something I have personally experienced, I feel that's a cost well worth paying with the Block feature.
There is no magic bullet. But the alternative is to allow a Blocked person to see your posts, and irrespective of whether they can tag you in response, that won't stop them from just responding without tagging you. Which defeats the entire purpose to begin with.
So imo, I'm not saying it isn't an issue. I'm saying it's a price worth paying. Conversation won't hit a brick wall just from missing context once in a while. I've managed fine, despite having several ppl blocked who regularly post in the threads I frequent.
But that's just my two cents.
Also, I haven't seen the page search in other threads either. At least, not the ones I typically post in. I think it was going to be a pilot run in this thread first before going site wide with the change, iirc.

@gcunit@JaxonH I'm glad someone read my post. Yeah, only on this thread as a trial. No one has complained (yet) so I'll roll it out across the forum tomorrow
Yeah, I'm just going to repeat my suggestion on that thread over here on the official suggestion one. I don't mind being blocked (that's whatever), but it's really annoying when I start to doubt myself because I don't realize that there is missing context. Having the blocked message be there with a blocked message would be a significant improvement IMO (as well as ignored messages). There's a difference between missing context and outright playing (admittedly accidental on everyone's part) mind games with users. People should be able to know that a message is missing in a conversation without having to resort to incognito.
I do think they should just remain missing entirely on comments however, since comments and forums function differently, and comments aren't inherently about conversations.
@antdickens
I see the page search has been implemented, but it's not working correctly for me (I'm using mobile site version, thanks again for that btw).
I can select it and type in the page, but when I hit GO, the GO button doesn't select. Rather, the box underneath it selects, and nothing happens no matter how many times I click it.
Just an FYI

@JaxonH hmm, are you still having issues? I've just tried it on mobile/Chrome myself and appears to be working as expected, I update the page number and click 'GO' and it loads the new page. It won't do anything if you're already on the page that matches the number. Let me know

It works, just not if typing in the last page number. Since I was testing in a forum with low number of pages, I encountered this.
So, it's fine.

Would it be possible to add a "preview post" feature to the forums? I've seen it in a couple of the forums I've used in the past where you can preview what your post will look like once it's posted, and I've found it pretty handy. It helps to identify any broken images or missed typos in spoiler tags before officially making the post. It's not really necessary since we can always edit, but it helps to avoid the panic scramble of fixing a post. I've posted spoiler tags with typos on here a few times and always worry that someone might see the spoiler before I fix the post.
@Cynas it's been asked for a couple of times... and I see the logic. I think the intention is that we'll move to a more pre-formated style textbox in the near future where you can see those kind of things as you edit, therefore shouldn't need a 'preview' at all - or at least that will be the aim!
@pikku haha, no thanks that is a relic of the past!
@X-Slayer I think the autologin cookie is set for 3 months; I guess it could be longer but at the same time it's good practice to re-auth every now and again. As for your password issue, it's more likely your phone remembered the wrong one or got confused somehow, we can't change your passwords and can only be done by the user themselves.
Would it be possible to add the option to upload images straight from your phone/PC into your post?
Or if you could just copy an image and paste instead of getting the URL and use the img brackets.
@TommyTendo it's difficult; in theory, you could upload anything... therefore we could be in breach of copyright or it might be inappropriate/porn etc, therefore it makes more sense for us to stick to 3rd party services and then we don't have quite the same issues... I know it's a little frustrating though.
@X-Slayer Haha nah, when I first joined NL around 10 years ago there was a dedicated chatroom. Used to be silly fun shenanigans in there for a while. Then SonyLife and XLife rose to power and destroyed NL's little empire.
I really like the user score system on the site (I wish everyone scored their games).
Suggestion: Would it be feasible/easy to add 'number of user scores' to the search filters? It's a little misleading to see a search ranking where some games have 5 scores and some 600. I know NintendoLife did this themselves in the 'best games of 2021' feature by only looking at games with 40 scores, but it would be really nice if users could easily do this type of filter ourselves
I realize there are probably only a few dozen people who would ever use this so it's not high priority XD
If NintendoLife allowed users to score games on a scale of 1-100, it would provide enough resolution to treat the data as variable, which would allow certain calculations to be performed in the backend (such as margin of error at 95% confidence). This would help account for quantity of reviews, since a lower number would result in a wider spread for the margin of error.
Could then run filters for games whose lower bound is >= a certain score.
Or, at the very least, a simple +/- 2 standard deviations (to be capped if exceeding the low/high ends of the scale) added to the mean score could provide a range of scores for which the reader can be 95% confident the true mean lies within.
Alternatively, adding a simple "Recommended: Yes/No" would allow other strategies to be used. A simple correction for lower quantity is, "add +2 to sample size, +1 for Yes and +1 for No". The stats behind why that works is complex but, it works. So 2 out of 3 would become a predicted 3 out of 5, or 60% recommend. The higher the sample size the less the correction has an effect.
