Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but I used to have a search box on the 'community' page where I could search for specific game forums. That search box is no longer there for me. I can expand the forums list to show all 800 of them and look for the one I want, but the search box was much easier.

Search function is disabled due to Summer Sale server load.

Tree options:

1)Google
2)Use this list
3)If you're looking for the forum of a game you own, you can access it via library (click on more -> forum).

I usually check a game's forum before I buy, so this is a little inconvenient for me but I can certainly understand downloads being the priority. Would be nice if there was a little explanation where the search box used to be, I feared it was gone forever.

Thanks sincerely for the info.

I can't believe GOG still hasn't added direct links to game forums to the store pages for each game.

It's annoying since not all my games are showing up on my forum list (Witcher 3 for instance) and now I can't search to find it to go to the forum. (I can use google instead but it's irritating.)

Hopefully it'll actually help with the server load though.

On top of the page, click on "this is my favourite forum" to permanently add it to your list.

At some point in the relatively recent past, newly bought games stopped being automatically added to your list of forums. I think this was around the time of the first Lucas release, as I think I remember a bunch of people expecting the TIE Fighter forums to be there, then needing to search.

So the missing Witcher 3 in your forum list is explained outside of the current lack of search, but not helped by it. :)

Was going to help people who couldn't get CRIMZON CLOVER to run full screen.

More precisely since the "Fresher Better GOG.com".

That long, eh? I was never very good at precision. :)

But it used to be there, and now it's not. Which is weird!

I'll favorite it to make sure it stays visible though. Thanks for the tip, Avogadro6!

This, it's ridiculous. On top of that making it difficult to get there is even worse, particularly 'because of sales'. It's exactly when you're buying a game that you should be able to check out it's forum to see what state it is in, what people think about it before buying.
