eVinceW21: Perhaps a lock on general discussion sub-forums could be in place for any registered user (registration is free) until a user has made their first purchase.
We dont have any - as I said, games sold here have subforums, the rest is under "general". It works (and particularly considering the total LACK of moderation...). I think perhaps, you need to spend a little more time on here to get a clearer picture?!? O___o

I didnt get it myself at first - all the forums I had previously visited / ran were all well categorised etc... but in my experience here... whisle it can get out of hand at times (by our standards)... it doesnt need that shit to make it work... it just does... in a weird and unique way.

It works for now but pictures change. Sometimes they don't but more often than not they do. I would suggest taking possible future changes into account.

In any case, the OP asked for suggestions and I am glad this one has been taken into consideration. I would discuss it further if necessary but I must excuse myself for now.

No worries. Inabit! :)
I've noticed the new font is a lot smaller with the forum change. On modern resolutions it's really difficult to see. Is there any way the font will be changed back?
The forum exclamation marks to denote mod posts track posts that you have seen. The ones on the "Community" portal/page do not. This makes me always think there are new posts from gog. Then I'll go to the forum and the exclamation will be greyed out.
I have probably already participated but what I would like to see in the GOG forum:

1/ User representing a developer or a publisher being distinguished from regular users. GOG personnel has text in blue and they also have their allegiance written under their profile picture (e.g. GOG.com Team).

2/ Notification system about updates in game-related subforum. Once I post somewhere, it is forever lost to me unless someone explicitly quotes me.

This.
Just wanted to add that the "notification number" seems to clear out much faster now once you view the updated games. Before it seemed to hang around for hours. So I really appreciate that fix!
Good lord. A change in the forums. /pinches self

Edit: Nope, never mind, it looks like it was just Barefoot Essentials kicking in (it's been set there ready to go for a week, I guess this Monday woke it up).

Tried to open a new topic, but couldn't. Clicked on the "Post my message" it said processing, and then turned back the "Post my message" button, and didn't post it. Any idea why is this keep happening?
Is there a time limit on editing older posts now or have I encountered a bug?

Trying to edit a post made on August 18 this year and after clicking 'Post my message' things proceed as normal and the page refreshes, but the post hasn't changed. I've tried a few times and hard refreshed the page itself a bunch of times and nothing is working.

If you're trying to post links, note that there's a spam safety in place that requires a higher rep status than the one you have currently.

Broken quote tags will also prevent a new post from being processed.

This is an old bug that seems to kick in randomly, has happened to me plenty of times.

Thanks. Just another interesting quirk of the GOG forums.

I would also like to see this feature. ^_^

In my opinion, it would be really cool and also useful. Both for the regular users in the GOG community and for the Developers who frequent the GOG forum.
we need mac games section of the forum.
