Game panel/forum comments

[eMTe]

I wonder if it's technically possible to automatically publish comments made via game info panel on forums. In short: you try to download the game, you get broken file, you comment it in "comment" window and this comment is automagically transformed into forum thread.

it's possible, but a bit tricky.

Great suggestion. If we could also merge it the other way around, we could really be going somewhere...

My concern is, nobody of us reads these comments, unless somebody is particularly interested in certain game. This way, comments, sometimes crucial (like the mentioned broken files complaints), can remain unnoticed and unanswered for longer periods of time.

Merging it the other way around is also a good idea, because the "comment" feature is practically dead atm. I was thinking of flooding the site with short comments at some point, but it occurred to me that it will be pretty stupid way to fix things. If something doesnt work, it doesnt work. People post HERE if they somehow find way to forums and want to talk, and post THERE if they have trouble with game. I post HERE when I have trouble. Site and forums are two different worlds, working in different ways for crew and guests.

Of course it can be tricky, but I just asked, hm?

I think I'll do it the other way around, where the Forum topic for the game gets listed on the game page. It sounds more fun.

So, what we semi-consciously suggested is merging freeware games subforum with site. Integrating, maybe this sounds better.

Amazing if you can get this to work Zyx...!

Technically, it's two different sites, with different systems, so i think all that could be done couldn't be more than something with links.
