Topic: Ideas for the site

@Grumblevolcano I've already responded on to this comment which I believe is asking the same question: https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/feedback/ideas_for_the_si... TLDR; I will be adding back a button to view all on those areas, however we'll still have the sections within the game profile page with the "latest".

@antdickens Hi Anthony! Noticed an issue.

Android, landscape mode, firefox.

Forum issue:
If you scroll down the page of a thread then scroll back up, the page bar at the bottom of the screen ends up in the middle of the screen and gets in the way. You can see the problem while in this thread. The issue only seems to occur in landscape mode. Things seem to work fine in portrait mode.

@WoomyNNYes strangely I can't replicate this on iPhone+Firefox+Landscape, so it might be related to the resolution of your phone — can you email me a screenshot? The usual address thankfully there aren't many people that use their phone on landscape.

Could the “share” links on articles also include a simple “copy link” option alongside the links to share to social media?

I often come to the site through the Facebook app, and lately its sharing options have been very buggy for me. The bottom navigation bar on external pages has been missing in the app, and I’ve needed to close and reopen pages to get it to display.

It’s really annoying when I want to share an article to Discord or another site not supported by the sharing options already provided. Having the option to just copy the article link right there on the page would make it a lot easier to share, and it’s an option that’s compatible everywhere. Just copy and paste the link where you want to post it.

Just wanted to report a small potential bug I've found with the Games Collection page: I just added Sin and Punishment to my listed collection though it shows up twice on the page rather than just once.

I'm unsure whether this is a bug or just a biproduct of S&P specifically being very funky with it's release dates but I wanted to mention it anyway just to be on the safe side.

I believe this functionality is already covered by the site's contact form. I've used it a couple times.

@Fizza thanks for spotting that, it should be fixed now!

@antdickens
Hey, I recall running into a BBCode bug whilst editing a post on a topic a few days ago.

Basically the post featured bullet points, and I wanted to add emphasis or amend a URL within one of the items in the bullet point list, so I edited the post.
The resulting edited post had errors in the bulletpoint list HTML, showing raw HTML instead of a bulletpointed list.

I haven't got exact steps for reproducing this issue but does this help any? It came to mind when I saw your topics about tips for formatting messages.

I also recall that certain inputs will automatically formatted (similar to using MarkDown), such as starting lines with a dash and a space produces a bulletpoint list, and surrounding a word or sentence with asterisks will apply bold/strong formatting tags.

@RupeeClock hmm, if you could help reproduce the problem that would be super helpful. I'll probably remove that old markdown stuff at some point soon.

The other day I had an issue where I tried to put a single YouTube video in spoiler tags, but once you clicked on the spoiler the video would be broken.

Edit: lemme try to replicate it here:

@antdickens
I've got steps to reproduce.
The issue manifests whenever you go to edit a post where an item in a bulletpointed list has underline emphasis using "[u]" tags.
Other types of emphasis like B or I tags (which update to strong or em tags) do not cause this issue, nor do URL tags.
Formatting allows use of dash ("-") or asterisk ("*") at the start of the line to denote a bulletpoint item, but will retain as the latter.

I've produced a video recording that demonstrates the issue. Video will expire in 48 hours.

@RupeeClock perfect, many thanks — give that a try now and it should be fixed

@Eel thanks, that should also be fixed now.

@antdickens
Yup, that appears to be fixed now, thanks!
Can edit a post where a bulletpointed item has underlined text without issue now.

@BobTheBunkerGuy hmm... not really sure, do you have a specific example of what you are suggesting?

Ah I think I see what they mean. The site won’t let you post the same thing twice in the same thread, regardless of when was the last time you posted that. So something like:

“@somerandomperson thank you!”

If you find yourself wanting to say the same thing, say, a week or a month later, the site will go “you already said that!”

Perhaps the restriction could be based on date or thread page?

(That said, I don’t think replying just “lol” is a good use case for this, lol)

I often find myself accidentally almost re-posting because of the back-arrow/stupid browsers. I've never tried to spam, but I probably would have accidentally done so 100 times without the double post blocker. If it was a different day clearly that wouldn't be an issue, but it can definitely happen an hour apart.

@BobTheBunkerGuy @EaglyPurahfan okay, thanks for the examples. I don't think 'Good night' is particularly good example as if you haven't anything more to add to that then maybe it's not a good post anyway... That said, the "<mention> thank you" makes sense... as you might post that in multiple places legit. Therefore I've set the trigger to be checked based on the last 24 hours, as that seems a sensible time frame. Thanks as always for the suggestion.

@EaglyBird I see what you did there

Idk how beneficial this would be but is it possible to add a filter when scrolling through old forum posts on our personal pages? I was trying to find a specific post I made a few months ago. While I was able to find it, I think it would have been easier if we could filter the posts by forum name or something.

@Vortexeo hmm, yeah I can see how that might be useful in some fringe cases. I don't think I'll be able to prioritise that, but it's noted as a request
