Community Chat

I see gamers on the left, but I think some games are still showing up here.

You see gamers on the left? Did you sign up for it? Because I do not have it on the left of my screen under Forums.

I signed up for the gamers forum this afternoon and basically asked the same question.  The answer I received from the board moderator was basically what Mima posted above.  However, this still doesn't make a bit of sense to me.

We didn't have to sign up for the other forums on the left (only Gamers that I know of) and once all the game threads are moved to the Gamers Forum, all those posts would show up in that (Gamers)  forum only.

well, i did not sign up for "gamers" and I DO NOT see"Gamers" on the left...

This is only a guess.  If the game forum posts showed up to everybody, when you click "forums" it would be full of gaming posts and we would have to sift through all of them to get through to the other posts.

I'm not even sure if this is correct, but I think it is. 

I think we better leave be.

Hi Everyone, MIMA is correct.  

If the Gamers forum is made available to everyone then all gaming posts will fill up the View All Form Topics page, or when viewing the Forums page (listed just below Forums & Blogs). Everyone would have to sift through all of the posts just as many experienced in Community Chat over the past few days.

Anyone who wants access to play is welcome, the Social Team just needs to be alerted and we will update your profile within 24hrs.

I hope this explanation helps.

Yes, but before "the change" our Viewpoints Forum was omitted from the View All Forums Topics page. You only saw Viewpoints when you clicked on it.

Adding (can't edit on my ipad), it's not a big deal; just wondering why it wasn't handled the same way.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but if a new poster comes to the forum how will they even know there are games available? They might want to play them. They are fun sometimes.

Unfortunately that feature we used for Viewpoints in the past is currently not available with the new Forums.

Ugh  We know the iPad situation is frustrating and are working on getting it corrected.
