Alright everyone, we all have ideas on how to improve Giant Bomb, well, please share, and discuss!
I'd love to see all suggestions in here.
I'll make no guarantees any of them will be read, however.

It is actually possible to add stuff such as characters, it just has to be moderator approved.
I've been trying to improve the database by uploading box art for a couple of games.

I agree, its doing alright, but it needs to be a bit faster, and a few more forum options

Yes, but there must be something you'd like to see, improvements and such.

I would like to be able to show/hide the comments on a page (by that i mean hide)  i think it would be much cleaner if there was a show comments button instead of showing them all at the bottom automaticly (like how the comments worked before the full site).

Maybe a posting history that we (the user) can view, because right now I'm still trying to find some of the posts I've made.

You can find that in your profile.

One feature that I hope they add would be Sig's, I often found Sig's the best way to identify people on the forums

1) There should be a forum page that lists all of the major forums
2) When you click on a forum, the number of posts in a thread should be right next to the topic title, not way off to the right.
3) When viewing a thread, your username should be right above or below your avatar, not in a "post by ____" fashion.
4) And, of course, faster browsing.

I've been doing my part and uploading actual games. I'm surprised they missed S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky.

I can't think of anything yet, as I just got here. If I think of anything I'll be sure to suggest it.

Apart from slow loading I have no major complaints. I'd like to have a sig and mods wouldn't go amiss here and there, but otherwise it's pretty good considering that it isn't even a day old.
