Fuzz Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hmmm It looks really neat! But I'm curious to see how it will turn out. It's a little bit weird how you can't comment directly through GDA (or at least I haven't found a way to do it)... You have to click to see the topic on GDC to add a comment right? Yeah. No plans at the moment to allow commenting directly on GDA. Mostly because what you see on GDA is actually just a simplified mirror of what's on GDC and it's not a direct link to the GDC database where all account info is stored. I programmed it this way so that it doesn't use a lot of resources loading all that extra information from the forum. Since GDA gets 10-15x the amount of traffic of GDC, if we loaded everything needed for accounts every time someone visited the site, it could potentially over-load the GDC server quite often. Instead the GDA server hits the GDC server every 2 minutes looking for the latest information, then saves it over on the other server. Which means it's only select a certain amount of posts each time with no real regard to account information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbie Head Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Oh I think it's a good idea! It's nice how GDA and GDC now complement each other and feels like they really belong together now! I just hope that it doesn't mean GDC will be down more often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolyHandGrenade Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm surprised there hasn't been an increase in WTP threads today. The newcomers will arrive eventually, whether they like it or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Curse you and the confidentiality of the mod sub forum! I love vague teases There's not vague teasing at all I actually mean we won't really get new members until they actually have a good enough reason to post on news.

HolyHandGrenade Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 There's not vague teasing at all I actually mean we won't really get new members until they actually have a good enough reason to post on news. Yeah, they might think they don't care, until something relevant comes up, and they have no voice anymore. Then it becomes self-inflicted censorship, knowing that there is an option. On the other hand, I thought that the Hot Topic article was life changing and perspective shifting. Now that is some quality news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizziebix Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 GDA doesn't work on IE. At least not from my work computer. All the green headers are listed on the left over all the articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theviridiansea Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I like the idea of linking the forum and the website. It's a bit hard to read on the main website though, especially when reading a quoted post (it doesn't say who wrote the original post). I think it would be better if the "40 Comments" link at the top of each post on the homepage took you directly to the forum (Instead of going into the post, needing to scroll all the way down, THEN going to the forum.)

St. Christian Of Suburbia Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Daaaaang, fancy new GDC theme! I'm liking it, once again it just looks fresh and new.

iScottie Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I wish the top dashboard didn't move when you scroll. Also, I think you guys should include the old one, this one, the light one, and the mobile one for our choosing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
