Hey duders -

Just a quick update on a smaller feature we just pushed. Made a little content pod under the sub nav of every game page that displays the 4 most recent guides for that game. We should have had something here since we launched guides - but its all good cause we got it in now.

Anyway, nothing too big - but if you're a guide author, hopefully this will get readership up on your guides :)

Other than that - pushed out some new code on ComicVine today and I'll be working on a pretty fun project for you guys this evening!

Subtle, but neat. It will make it easier for wiki kids to find guides.

NICE!

I was about to ask you for something like this. I was wondering why a couple of my guides randomly got a lot of views today.

Just saw it... on a page with no guides. Can you maybe hide that or something if there aren't any guides available for a game?

Well it is a hint for people to make a guide for that game sort of.
Now if only we could post a thread on multiple forums like a game page and a platform page... if only... (hint hint)

That would be sort of trivial. But handy at times.

I fully approve. GB's guide tools actually motivated me to write guides, something I never thought I'd do :P The more ways to promote said guides, the better.

Now if only people would stop 1-star rating the TFU megaguide :(

Nice work guys!

not to get too off-topic on this thread - but this is something we made a conscious decision not to allow. we felt like allowing users to attach a blog or start a forum topic under multiple boards would be a little confusing to users - and it also causes some display issues that we weren't really willing to address.

however, if you really want to attach your content to multiple wiki objects (like the xbox page and the gears of war page), you can still use blog association tool when you write your blogs. not a perfect solution - but it'll probably be the way things are going to stay for the near term :)

This update is sweet. It makes it a lot easier to see user content. I didn't like having to go to another page just to see if the game has a guide now I will know right when the page loads.

I also like how you keep everybody informed with stuff that is going on with the site. Keep these updates coming.
