When browsing the forums, I would really much like to sort by most recent and most liked.
Hi guys! Nice to meet you! Need help. I'm a new Pixel Art student and need 150 views on my page (https://cezard.itch.io/) for a class challenge. Can you help me? Just click on my page and the system will compute your view! You're welcome to comment on my job, but remember: I'm beginning in this! :) Thanks a lot!
This seems to be a dead thread, but as it is still stickied and the exact topic for this, here goes.
Is there not a simple way to view your own posts without digging through the whole list? If not, there should be a section in your profile or a prominent link to go to a list of your posts and see your replies all in one place. I'm new here, so apologies if I may have just missed it.
If I click on your avatar, it takes me to your community profile (on your creator page, scroll to the bottom and there's a link to your community profile) and a list of "recent posts". On my profile, the recent posts are actually all of my posts that I know of, I don't know if that's true for everyone.
A forum is by definition a linear ordering of posts, because it’s supposed to be an indefinitely-long conversation on a specific topic. Think bulletin boards, which used to be a lot more common, but still exist.
Though I admit, the fact Itch.io went for a strange hybrid between a list and tree (Reddit), and that posts become locked after an arbitrary time period, makes this point moot.
I mean, I get it, but wouldn't it make sense to show posts in reverse order on itch where the most recent posts are the most important and relevant? There should be at least a toggle to swap ordering by oldest to newest like many other forums. I don't even have a page option and just had to scroll though 75 posts to see the most recent one and I have to do that EVERY TIME someone posts something new.
Forums should be used as a source of troubleshooting. I have seen users post technical questions or report bugs for games and a moderator tells them they should address the devs of the game directly. Devs should be encouraged to monitor these forums and answer questions here. The result would be a searchable database of knowledge specific to the itch platform. I have a problem with Minit and another guy seems to have the same problem https://itch.io/t/528364/itch-minit-and-linux and the thread has been archived. I cant even ask if he found a solution for his problem. For example, steams's discussion boards are very helpful for that. Lots of bug reported and fixes are discussed and can be found there.
When you reach the bottom of the page, besides the first page/next page links, we should have a link that lead us back to the corresponding sub forum OR a button to jump back to top. It's annoying having to scroll back to the top of the page if we want to return to see another thread on the sub forum.
