Topic: Ideas for the site

@RupeeClock Oh, glad to see that has been implemented! Your ideas sound great!

to the searchfunctionmobile!

@antdickens Could you perhaps add a "ratings" feature to Game Pages? Showing the Age Rating.

@CaleBoi25 Given that different countries/regions have different rating systems, how do you envision it working? I've wondered this before as well when I noticed the rating wasn't displayed.

a dark mode option for the site would be A MAY ZIIIINNNNNN (b ' ' )b

It has dark mode. Change preference to dark mode in your account settings/preferences.

@Papasears1982 thanks for supporting and glad you like the dark mode!

@CaleBoi25 yes, we intend to add ESRB/PEGI ratings in due course (at least on Switch titles)

@antdickens The Temu ads are back.

@antdickens Could we get a character counter in the signature/bio section? It's rather a pain to have to save your descriptions to check if they are under the limit.

@CaleBoi25 a dynamic counter would be a little more work, but I've made it cap the size of what can get put in the textarea now, so that should help!

@antdickens OK, thanks!

@antdickens Is there going to be a reminder article about the 3DS/Wii U online shutdown?

As someone who checks nl every 2 minutes, I often find myself subconsciously ignoring or not even seeing updated articled that I've already read, especially when the original article was written quite a while ago. It's double as worse when the article is updated multiple times. I guess there wouldn't be much point in making a new article if the update is small, but it would be nice if there was some sort of marker on the thumbnail saying it's been updated.

@Grumblevolcano There is still more than a week. Surely there will be all sorts of countdown or 'best of' articles before the shutdown.

I often get in the habit of associating profile pictures with accounts, and the names I'm not always the best with, so would it make sense for there to be a section for account icon history or something similar so you can check if you recognize the account's past icons, or even last icon they had selected? (I have a feeling there's multiple people I only recognized by their icon and now that it's changed I think they're a different person)

@chiiizu Some people change pfps constantly which would make a full history impractical. I do also find it a bit confusing whenever they change though. Your idea makes me think of how Facebook used to do it with a default profile picture and like 4 other pictures attached.

@chiiizu that's interesting... I can totally understand where you are coming from, however I'm not aware of any websites that actually do that. As @FishyS said, it is potentially a little impractical to keep a history of all avatars... people also may not want the site to keep a history as perhaps their tastes have changed and no longer want to be seen related to a particular image/character. So, yeah, whilst I understand where you are coming from I'm not sure what to advise other than trying to focus on usernames a little more and avatars a little less. We could introduce an option that doesn't display ANY avatars (or just the default) that would force you to focus on the usernames?
