I have a few suggestions when you write up a walkthrough and posting it to the Community

One:You should add a Save option or a make it so that you can write up a Draft before you post a walkthrough because what happens if you write up a 3hr walkthrough thne have to go to bed and its unfinised? you have to post it unfinished or you loose all that typing you wrote up.

Two:When you click Enter or Backspace and your outside of the text box the post will submit automaticly or you will go back to the forums, this gets annoying if your playing a game whilst writing up a walkthrough for it.

Three:My last suggestion is what happens to the walkthroughs we post? do people just forget about them and the hard work we have done? I think you should add a colum to our profiles for a link to our walkthrough we have written up, so then if somebody visits our profile it might not be completly forgotten about

Reply:Dissagree, Agree with me, Talk to me? :]
-Thanks for your time

Notepad. Or any other programme for text editing. Or if you have none of those, save it as an email...

Noooteeeepaaaad.

This happens often. It really depends on how good your walkthrough is and how many there are to bump it up for people to see it.

Also depends on the game. No one's really going to pay attention to a walkthrough of Creekwood Forest, no offense to the developer, but when you pull something up like Pandemic II (WHICH IS NEEDED, HINT HINT), there will be lots of people replying, either congratulating you or offering advice to an update, and even more people just looking at it. A well-thought-out walkthrough with the right game will fetch tens of thousands of views.

But yes, a list of your walkthroughs would be nice. That and
the reviews that are merited, by the way...

Hrm, i find it odd that some one who is yet so unfamiliar with the site (and apparently notepad) should be making suggestions....

Would you really describe someone with 242 full posts as someone who is unfamiliar to the forums, Skater? I think not.

Now then, about those suggestions...

All suggestions are welcome, DarkLegendd, no one will hold you back from posting anything, regardless of how new you are. Skater is just confused on who he really is right now.

Well, for your comments, they basically were saying to use Notepad, but I think your third suggestion is great. People should have a list of walkthroughs that they've created, plus the reviews that were merited. This helps people show what really sets the standard for reviews.

Thank you for clearing that up for me

and as for the notebook thing, i relise how stupid the comment is now but still, it would get annoying switching back from browser to browser.

For suggestion number 3, I would think all that you have to do is put a link on your profile.

Click the Control Panel up in the top right corner where your name and avatar are. From there you can edit what your profile says.

You can delete post made on your comments in your profile by clicking the trash can icon.
