It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.

    Pardon me? No DS boards?

    Right here.
    The forum index on this site works differently from what you might be used to. Everything you can browse (platforms, games, characters etc.) each have their own forum. To visit it, you just visit the relevant page and click 'Forum' to the left, or scroll to the bottom of the page.

    For some reason it's not coming up under the search, but look under "browse" and then "platforms" and it's right there.

    [edit] TheBeast, the thing is "Nintendo DS" comes up with no results in the search, which was probably why it was hard for this person to find.

    If you just type "DS" it doesn't show it because they only show so many "things" (in this case games, mostly) having a DS in it. I'm guessing the ranking is from most viewed to least viewed. Anyways, if someone doesn't find something, especially with a common word,  they should try another strategy, like the browse  function on top.

    Yes, that would be like typing "64" expecting to get "Nintendo 64," but I'm typing "Nintendo DS" not "DS," and nothing comes up.

    I get the same thing when I type "Nintendo DS".  Actually, I can't find any game system at all using the search box.  It's easily rectified by going to Browse > Platforms, but still, you'd think the search box would have this information indexed like the rest.

    The search box has a few problems from time to time. At least for me.

    Now that the Browse Platforms option is gone, how is anyone supposed to find the DS boards?

    The browse platforms option is still there. Just hover your mouse over the browse link at the top of the page, and the drop down list of options appears. Select Platforms (it's the seccond option down in the right hand column) and you're they're.
