Forum Change - What happened to the old forum

by Teddy Setiawan Wijaya · in Torque Game Builder · 03/30/2009 (4:07 am) · 5 replies

Haven't been to TGB forum for quite a while, I am surprised with the changes.

What happened to the old forum? Where can I find the GUI specific forum? Torque Core questions? Physics and Collision forum?

Maybe it's just me but personally I like the old forum better...;-(

@Teddy: We merged all the forums into one (except the bug forums) because new users were overwhelmed by the amount of categories and sub-categories. We also revamped our search so it's much more accurate than on the old site.

Thanks for providing your feedback, though. If we hear enough feedback mirroring your concerns, we will consider putting some of the old sub-categories back on the site.

Deborah, thank you for the reply. I guess I should start a Facebook group "Bring back Old GarageGames forum!" then....just kidding...

Regarding the search function, do you mind if I request a feature where the search will only display result accessible by the user? for example: a TGB owner will not be able to see result posted in TGEA forum since he/she won't be able to read it anyway...;-)

or at least sort/group the results so that user will see accessible entries first.

Many thanks

@Teddy: If you do a search, then select the "Advanced Search" link that appears under the submit button, then click the "Search Options" item that appears, then click "Select areas to Search" ... you will find what you are looking for.

A little bit of a long-winded process ... but it does the job and works well enough.

Hope this helps. :)

Hi Quinton, I've tried the Advanced Search + Search Options a few days ago but it seems to have a bug

1. First, try searching for GuiListBoxCtrl
It will display a list of result, some of them are in Torque Game Engine (private) forum so it is inaccessible for a TGB only owner (AKA me). Among the result, there will also be some result in TGB forum, General Discussion, and Technical Issues (accessible for me)

2. Then click on Search options, areas to search, tick off all forum then tick the following: Resources, TGB, TGB (Private)

after submitting: Sorry, the search found no results

Did I miss something? ;-)

@Teddy: Nope ... you are absolutely correct. I am getting the same results ... I also tried the following: GuiListBoxCtrl and GuiListBox.

It looks as if the search locations has a bug in it. Can we get the devs to check this for us. Please. :)
