Can it be done that mods/admins can tag certain posts with say, "Problem running the game" and similar useful tags?

More and more posts suggest that the number of posts is intimidating when searching for that particular piece of information, so people tend to ask the same question over and over again. Maybe a tagging system tied to the search engine could remedy that.

Never heard of anything like that.

I think that what you're suggesting would imply reprogramming the whole board and so would be a pain in the behind if it's not already implemented in Invision. But I'm no web coder myself so I can't tell.

Another approach, that is implemented, is to collect good problem solving posts so noone has to look through the entire topic to find that post that solved it. That way we can easily and quickly put up a link to that post the next time someone asks what has been asked before.

And then you link these to the respective post (or posts via numbers like the second one). When people are too irrational to read possible following associated posts to the linked one, you can add [et seq.]/[et sqq.] after the link (even if I doubt that this would help).

We already have the stickies...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Luchsen @ Aug 7 2007, 05:10 PM) [snapback]303403[/snapback]</div>That doesn't seem practical at all, just imagine the workload on modertaors to track important info in every game topic.

There are no stickies in GD :huh: Remember that the GD is for many guests the gate into the rest of the forums. They look up a game and click "discuss this game". My guess is that many read the say, first 3-4 pages before posting their question, ignoring the other 20. The point is to easily guide them to the posts already there that are relevant to their problems.

maybe uploaders could slowly edit and add important links 1 by 1 to the first post?

Well if it's a really essential part of information it's good to add to the review (as a technical note or something), but maybe editing the first post might help as well (but that would take up a lot of time). I think any moderator/admin could also edit this (since the updaters can edit only their own posts - not those by other updators) and some of the updators are nowhere to be seen at the moment (haven't seen theVoid in ages and Free Freddy's account has been deleted).
