← All patch notes

Feed to feed the streets

You asked for it, so here it is. Feed page is now live. Additional changes include:

New

  • Home is now the feed: posts, reviews and lists from everyone, sorted by Latest, Top, Discussed or Oldest. New posts wait behind a "new" button instead of pushing the page down while you read.
  • Write a post straight from the top of Home.
  • Repost or quote any post, review, list or comment.
  • GIFs and every emoji, in posts, comments and replies. Star a GIF to keep it in your Favourites.
  • Game news: Valve's updates and patch notes for Counter-Strike 2 and Deadlock, on Home, on their own page, and with a page for each update.
  • Say what your post is about: tag it with a news update, and it shows on that update's page.
  • Home has a side column with the latest reviews, the latest lists and new members.
  • Upload a banner or profile picture straight from your device. Pictures are kept at full quality, and a picture you paste a link to is saved with us, so it no longer disappears when the link expires.

Changed

  • Your profile's Feed is now called Posts, and posts there look and work exactly as they do on Home.
  • Posts open in a popup with the comments first. Sort comments by Top or Recent.
  • Comments can be liked, replied to, reposted and quoted. Long threads fold after the first reply, with Show replies.
  • Like, comment and repost are a little larger and light up when you hover. Counts roll to their new number, and nothing shifts when the first like lands.
  • Posts no longer say "posted". Reviews say "reviewed", and lists "published a list".
  • Counters only show once there's something to count. No more "0".
  • Privacy, Terms and the Changelog now sit at the bottom of Home's side column. As you scroll, the column moves up so Latest lists stays in view.
  • Patch notes moved to the Changelog. Old links still work.
  • Tagging a game opens a small picker instead of taking over the whole post box.
  • The side column's hearts show what you've already liked.

Fixed

  • A banner whose link has expired shows the plain banner instead of a broken image.
  • Selecting text in a popup and letting go outside it no longer closes the popup.
  • Country flags show up on Windows.
  • The footer sits centred under narrow pages.

Behind the scenes

  • Pictures are shown as sized copies made for your screen, so pages load faster and use less data, while the original you uploaded is kept untouched.
  • Game news comes straight from Valve's own posts on Steam and stays up to date by itself.
