The content of the site is awesome, and there are no website features that I feel are missing.

As they come up, interviews and deep dives are great, but I understand that can't happen all the time.

Perhaps you could record some of your gameplay of games you're particularly enjoying playing and drop a link every now and then? That (hopefully) wouldn't be as time-consuming as in-depth game reviews, and you could also include any multiplayer stuff you might do with the GOL community. I do appreciate that you'll want time when you're off the clock, though.

Quoting: Linux_RocksEmbedded YouTube in the comments and forums? I don't know if that's too much clutter or not though.

Working on it. Hooked it up to our external media permission request cookie thing. It's working, just need to add a button to the comments editor.

Example:


I'll try and do the button this evening, might be too tired after travelling this afternoon though. If not, tomorrow.

Although, I do have concerns about video spam, so i may look to limit this perhaps to 2 per comment / forum post. Thoughts anyone?

Quoting: EhvisOn the top of my wishlist is an option to toggle the partner links of stores that go through external marketing companies back to direct store links. And if this is tied to a certain support tier, I'd have no problem with it.

That sounds like something that would be easily done with a user script via Tampermonkey and the likes. Just look for links to the usual stores, run them through a regular expression to strip the tracking query parameter and update the hyperlink.

I'm too busy at the moment, but if Liam doesn't mind, I could make such a script for you in a couple weeks probably.

I know and I could figure it out if I took the time to look into it. I put it here to highlight the general issue. By now it's getting pretty simple though, only Steam links work.

Feature is now in progress.

Yes please limit them! I also have seen other forums / comments sections be destroyed by video spam.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of that either. So now it's only doing the first, any other attempts get turned into a link. Example below:

Okay, the YouTube button on the comments / forum editor is live now.

Testing...
