We have update our media gallery a minute ago.

You can now "follow" your favorite uploaders by clicking the "watch media" button.

I think its fine Bram. I don't know if you're a member of iRacing, but that forum is like 46 pages long. They have a forum for just about everything. I've been a member of iRacing for almost 5 months now and I still haven't seen all of the individual forums quite frankly because when I go to the forums, there's 2.2 billion individual forums to browse so I don't don't have time to go through them all.

I now find the new groupings somewhat less friendly to newer people. It's probably ok if you know which sims / games are released by the various developers, but I suspect most newer people go looking for their specific sims / games.
Is there any way to include the list of the specific sims that will be shown under the developer groupings, ie. in the old days we had sub notes or explanatory notes describing what each section was for? Or is it possible to have a mouse hover listing the sims / games covered in each developer grouping?

I'm sure most of the experienced guys know what is listed where, but not sure if it is now as user friendly for new people.

DOH!! Ignore this, just realized that the mouse hover thing is already there. Must be still too early in the morning for me.

 

[Michael Nelson]

I agree with Warren, there should be subnotes under the developers displaying the games (clickable too to cut out a step for someone who's only interested in one game from a dev.)

This way the "Other Games" games will still be displayed on the main page, instead of hiding away.

Also just a heads-up Bram, as a non-premium user I can see the title of the latest post in the premium section on the main page.

The new layout looks good.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Subnotes have never gone. Just hover over the icon next to "subforums" and all underlying nodes show

I like it a lot like this, however I have some irl friends just lurking the forums and they where completely confused. They couldn't find their games anymore and started spamming in whatsapp or just looked for another website. The mouse over didn't seem enough either, not clear enough or something.

 

[Stereo]

Since the store tab is visible on the right anyway, maybe the listings could include links to the main forums for those games? It's definitely my habit to click through to the forum and find out if there are any upcoming patches/standing issues/mods before buying something, and it's a nice tidy summary of a few of the currently-developed racing sims.

Hello!! The new layout is great! For the PC at least

For the mobile there are various problems. You can't see the last two alerts, no matter for many you have, and when typing, you cannot see what you are writing, because the top bar and the keyboard make the space too small.

Of course, I am understanding that you have put a lot of effort here, and the result is amazing, but I would like too see these issues be fixed

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

On which kind of mobile device are you having these issues Manolis?

I can only test the site and forums on my old Bramsung Galaxy S2 which has an average sized screen and i can't reproduce the mentioned errors.

I would agree that it would be better to have the games listed under the developers forums rather than a mouse-over.

a simple question.... Where is Bob´s track building Foum now?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/forums/bobs-track-builder.162/

 

[Nobby76]

or for the sake of easy finding without a link, its found in the "other racing games" section

 

[RichardHessels]

BTB deserves to be on the mainpage...
Make some space for the trackbuilding heroes.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

That its not on the mainpage is because it can't be grouped under a developer banner.

Maybe we can open a forum for other modding software and group them together?

 

[RichardHessels]

Would be nice to have a exclusive modding chapter on the forum.
Also for cars and (authorized) conversions to other platforms.

 

[Lee Knight]

There used to be a 'Sim Modding' section which BTB was in....
But that disappeared long ago (with all it's usefull contents), the same as the BTB & rF1 download sections

 

[liquido]

Thanks guys, I was afraid thinking that BTB disapear from this forum.... nice to see it was only a change in the layout, maybe yesterday I was so tired and trhow in the towel to fast.

I don´t think in BTB as a videogame or sim, so thats why I was confused, it will be great to see a "developers" or moders secction, but I´m happy with the actual layout

Bram, the forum description for Kunos says Ueber, instead of Uber. Yes, call me the grammar police..
