[QUOTE=GhostSonic;29897429]Are these browsers detected automatically?[/QUOTE] Yes. Although I have to say that if Garry's excuse for taking away all that stuff a few days ago was "it was slowing down the database with so many queries", it seems rather odd to now add something else that has to be tracked on every post. Just saying.
[QUOTE=Seiteki;29897445]No. I have to watch every post being made and determine which browser is was posted with.[/QUOTE] Are you the guy staring at my window outside my house?
[QUOTE=GhostSonic;29897478]Are you the guy staring at my window outside my house?[/QUOTE] I see you typing. Look out the window right now. Were all here stalking you.
[QUOTE=GhostSonic;29897478]Are you the guy staring at my window outside my house?[/QUOTE] No. He's just one of the hired thugs.
gold member script runs every 30 minutes right
What does my phone show up as?
[QUOTE=GhostSonic;29897595]What does my phone show up as?[/QUOTE] safari
or an hour or something
[QUOTE=dgg;29897236]So you did mean that. I don't see the problem, new news are on the top for a while so I know what's actually new and not just what's most discussed but old as fuck. Much better than having old news in a news section without being able to distinguish the actually new ones.[/quote] Yeah, it's nice, but it's piss poor on the eyes. And if you're at all reading the news, you know what's old and what isn't. Oh I know lets sticky every new thread in GD great idea [quote]Quality check, on the news? Ahahaha. News is news, people are people, there is always news that appeals to someone, and when it comes to news that's all that matters. Rock Paper ain't shit, BBC is a bit of mix, great pictures though, especially the dessert.[/quote] Nobody cares about a news article over "APOX Update Released". Everyone cares about "Apple fucks over customers, only they can change your iMac hard drives". Guess where I got each. Steam shit is already on steam, nobody needs to see it again. BBC shit is already covered by ITN for most of the stuff everyone cares about. And it's hardly gaming news. RPS is generally bad, but it's gaming news (It's also on steam, try looking around, oh, I don't know, the News button) [quote]Why not? It's not really a gmod forum anymore, it's a mix of gamers with different interests that mainly want to chit chat together and get games or competitions going. So the general stuff and games of all sorts triumphs first.[/quote]Yeah, gaming has become secondary to all of everything else. But this isn't even my main point [quote]And getting informed about daily deals is bad because? Especially reading what people think about the daily deal. Is it a good game? Is it a bad game? I sure as fuck want to know.[/QUOTE] A new article over a game nobody cares about that everyone sees already from opening steam stuck to the front page every day? It's not the end of the world, but I honestly don't see how someone can see ITN as worse than NN
[QUOTE=Greenen72;29897681]Steam shit is already on steam, nobody needs to see it again. BBC shit is already covered by ITN for most of the stuff everyone cares about. And it's hardly gaming news. RPS is generally bad, but it's gaming news (It's also on steam, try looking around, oh, I don't know, the News button)[/QUOTE] tbh the news button and everything in steam is horrible. i avoid using it whenever i can. if i'm looking for an update to a game specifically, i will check the thread or section for it. if im just a browsing casually, i will go to the news node and stumble upon a thread saying there's an update. just by chance, see that's why news node is great. they will give you little information if you aren't even looking for it - akin to highlights. most of the time people aren't hounding a section, thread or steam, they're just skimming down the news. then they'll see a game updated and they will be informed. news node also gives people and opportunity to discuss certain topics pertaining to an article with their fellow facepunchers.
i rarely use steam to check for new releases/updates. most of the time i look in news node for information.
My point is that updates are either obvious from the fact you're downloading a patch, or already in the Update News popup thing
[QUOTE=Greenen72;29897810]My point is that updates are either obvious from the fact you're downloading a patch, or already in the Update News popup thing[/QUOTE] not the best point considering that if you're not on your computer 24/7 right as the game updates to see the pop-up you can hop on over to news node and check it. like said before, you can also discuss the update or release.
Where did ITN go?
[QUOTE=rosar0980;29897825]Where did ITN go?[/QUOTE] in the news node [img]http://gyazo.com/b14af30cf3b522724756092bbdff2bec.png[/img]
[QUOTE=rosar0980;29897825]Where did ITN go?[/QUOTE] Down into "In The News Node" Woops, beaten by seconds.
[QUOTE=Dachande;29897824]not the best point considering that if you're not on your computer 24/7 right as the game updates to see the pop-up you can hop on over to news node and check it. like said before, you can also discuss the update or release.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I always thought most people shut down a computer when they went to bed. But this is kind of secondary to my thing why the NN isn't the subforum
Sensationalist Headlines needs a subtitle I propose [i]Liberal agenda inside[/i]
Why are the Firefox and Steam icons so gross? They should use flurry like Chrome and Safari.
so what time does the gold member clock run off of? half an hour and zip
I used to just check the latest comment thing on gd, and then news node, that doesn't work now because In the news moves faster than the news node and makes me unable to see new news node threads. Without actually going into news node that is.
Browser icons are cool. Will that Facepunch app for the iPhone have its own icon?
[QUOTE=Dachande;29898009]so what time does the gold member clock run off of? half an hour and zip[/QUOTE]you're impatient just like all the other soon-to-be golds, just wait, fuck
[QUOTE=Dachande;29898009]so what time does the gold member clock run off of? half an hour and zip[/QUOTE] Just wait. It [I]seems[/I] to happen at a set not at midnight.
[QUOTE=TehWhale;29898039]you're impatient just like all the other soon-to-be golds, just wait, fuck[/QUOTE] I'm impatient too.
[QUOTE=Dachande;29898009]so what time does the gold member clock run off of? half an hour and zip[/QUOTE] why are you so impatient about getting a colored name
[QUOTE=Dachande;29898009]so what time does the gold member clock run off of? half an hour and zip[/QUOTE] It runs off GMT, either every hour or every half-hour. Unless garry changed that, too.
