Topic: Ideas for the site.

@Kidfried: Yeah, we try to refresh this area regularly, but it's something that the new layout should solve. Good feedback, though - noted.

@get2sammyb: Whens the new site design coming out? Feels like we have been waiting for ages!

@themcnoisy: Greatness awaits.

@get2sammyb: LMAO - hope its not like NL as I much prefer this layout...

@get2sammyb: Well that is what I said on my wedding night and look how that turned out...

@AlexStinton a 'The Warriors' livestream...

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi: Funny you should ask, guess what's downloading just this minute.

The Warriors will be coming out to play very soon.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Don't worry, Bert and Ernie are still together, just the evening was disappointing. But hey, if they will give complimentary bottles of champagne...

@DarkmarkUnited: Yeah, your just rambling . The fact that NL and PS started as seperate sites and even now are seperate the chances of them becoming one is very very slim. For one thing Sammy and Robert have different opinions views then the editors of NL. Not only that but community wise it would be a nightmare of fanboy arguments and would end up like IGN or some of those other gaming sites.

@DarkmarkUnited: I think part of why what we're doing works is because the sites have different voices for different audiences. While we do try to align in some areas — like both sites run Talking Points, for example — we've always tried to run the three sites individually to cater to different tastes, age groups, and so on.

Unifying the sites would lose that individuality. And plus, neither of the sites would be able to delve into the nitty-gritty like we do currently; being single-format affords us a freedom that multiplatform websites like IGN and Eurogamer simply don't have.

You guys need to do something soon because these forums are on life-support and article comments are way down as well...

@Rukiafan7: I don't see anything wrong really. If you compare us to Nintendo Life then yeah we aren't as big but we still get a good amount of traffic.

I am not sure what you are getting at.

@Rukiafan7: It could be healthier but it definitely isn't on life support. However, there are areas for improvement. YouTube embedding and a BBCode cheat sheet should be added, and I'm surprised the site hasn't been updated to what Nintendo Life has yet; Comment likes and user reviews being chief among improvements.

@Vincent294: Pretty sure I embedded a YouTube vid the other day here on PushSquare.

Yup, it's still possible; [youtube:VIDEOID] Just replace VIDEOID with the 11-letter ID code from the URL and it should work.

@Rukiafan7: Compared to which site? There's an absolute mammoth amount of room for growth, but "life support" is a bit harsh.

@Vincent294: Good points but comment likes and dislikes are pretty divisive. Commenting on an article shouldn't become a ball swinging contest. Generally the first few comments to be entered get the most likes or dislikes so there's no point really.

Although I would never write one, user reviews are a good idea. Maybe even user guides! There's some amazing gamers as part of the community who batter games - such as Triple with Disgaea, Kyle with Fez, Drumstickguy with RocketLeague. They could write brilliant guides.

@Vincent294: The redesign is coming eventually, and we have tons of ideas for new community features. It just takes time unfortunately — we're a very, very, very tiny company.

Also, the idea of rolling it out on NL first was to get feedback, which obviously needs to be analysed and worked into where Push Square goes.

@themcnoisy: Nintendo Life only uses likes, no dislikes, so it's just used as a way to show your appreciation for a comment that's funny or you agree with without having to directly reply, I think it's a really handy feature

New features unique to the site? Top Tens? Games on Sony consoles to look out for (monthly thang)? Interesting news stories roundup (maybe weekly)? I dunno. Summat.

Honestly it's good how it is.

@Speedy67: Interesting news stories roundup (maybe weekly)?

Pushsquare rewind, that's actually already a regular feature.

@BranJ0: Fair enough, the way I see it is minus an oddball comment now and again most of the community comments anyway without the need for competition. I really dont see the point. But if there has to be an upvote system Nintendo lifes is the best way.
