Hopefully a retro gaming subforum too, but I think iceman has got a million and one things on his list right now!

I guess the forum is more complete, but at the same time areas of discussions are multiplying like rabbits (holy scrolling down Batman!) and it seems to me like the Blu-Ray focus is lost in translation, which some would say was already the case in many areas.

Time to rename the site Digital-Times.com or HD-Times.com (or something like that)?

...How did I get here??? This is not my beautiful wife... this is not beautiful house!

I was thinking the same thing. The addition of a retro or classic consoles forum would be great.

I'm liking the new layout. I think it's going to be easier navigating in the forums thanks to the new layout. Thanks, guys!

Oh, and congrats to mikejet and xtop on their promotion as moderators as well. Best of luck keeping the order around here, guys.

Yup, since there's a few threads out there.

Moefiz · 02-10-2010, 02:40 PM

That would be a great idea.

PS3-Playb3yond · 02-10-2010, 02:53 PM

What can I say? I like it.

kjacobs03 · 02-10-2010, 02:56 PM

I prefer the PS3 board being at the top of the Forum like it had been. It is my most used board and I didn't have to scoll down to find it. Now it's damn near the bottom.

Maybe the option to manually adjust the forum like the home page would be possible?

Edit: I just realised I can collapse the other boards so that is a good workaround.

agreed!

This would be greatly appreciated. Especially from an old-timer like me. I still have a 2600 and an NES in my entertainment rack.

RAZGRIZ-1 · 02-10-2010, 03:48 PM

I like the new layout, but I agree that it takes a while to scroll down through everything.

kaliraver · 02-10-2010, 03:59 PM

Excellent news, and I am glad that this forum keeps evolving! Congrats to the new mods as well

Bizdady · 02-10-2010, 04:09 PM

I like it. Only thing that sucks though is the Hotdeals. I have to click through all 3 the sub sections to make sure I dont miss any deals.

Clark Kent · 02-10-2010, 04:10 PM

I am sure Blu-ray.com wants to appeal to everyone across the world, but looking at it today, the entire "Region C Hot Deals" sub-forum appears to be one sticky thread that has not had a new post in almost one whole year.

Maybe combine both the Region B Hot Deals and Region C Hot Deals in one sub-forum, ala Region B & C Hot Deals. This is more important now that the Hot Deals area has become even more subdivided. Most readers develop patterns in regularly checking active forums, while completely ignoring sub-forums with little activity. It can always be brought back as a separate category if the Region C deals explode in popularity.

blu_sharpy · 02-10-2010, 04:16 PM

Really like the new layout of the site.

Thanks to everyone who put their time and effort into this fantastic site!!!

We will shortly add so you can specify which forums you want to see on the front page, so you will be able to see a merged view of all hot deals if you want.

Good point, forum removed. We will also do minor tweaking in the next few days.
