Does every discussion post need a poll?
I didn't know about that screenshots button either. Thanks for mentioning it.

Not something from the site itself but I think is really helpful: sometimes the screenshots/videos can still leave you wanting to see more, so I go search for the "full gameplay" on youtube to look through certain parts :) It can give you a much more realistic view of the actual gameplay than the trailers or pics do (I hate so much when trailers are just a "movie" and don't show what it looks like to play)

Agreed. It is frustrating when I watch the video or even 2 videos that are on the Steam page, and I still have no idea what the actual "gameplay" of the game is like.

These might be common knowledge, but it took me a while to discover them and I often forget that they exist.
Community wishlist Quick way to see what's hot on SG or get ideas for giveaways.
Search parameters I don't use them because I can accomplish the same with ESGST, but it's a useful core feature.

The search parameters are definitely useful! I have heard about the ESGST, but is that legit, and SG rules allow to use it?

the archive: https://www.steamgifts.com/archive
fun to browse and useful to check what games have or havent been given

That's true, the archive is great, and also only somewhat recently found out about it.

in most cases it means the game is delisted from Steam
Packages often does not have this button (and screenshots/videos).

Today was the first time I clicked on the "screenshots / videos" icon next to the title of a giveaway, and I now find it better for seeing the game's screenshots than on Steam itself. Plus, if the giveaway doesn't have the screenshot icon, in most cases it means the game is delisted from Steam (They also don't have screenshots if it is a collection/package as mentioned by Xeloses below).
Also, next to it, clicking the magnifying glass icon, you can see more giveaways of the same game. You can also see how many times you have entered for said game. Likewise, this was something I didn't know for a while when first using the site, but I find a cool and useful feature now.
What are some features of the site, that you find cool, or that took you a while to even try and use them?
Also, a small GA for a tiny and quite basic game called Planet Lander (LVL 3+), that I put way too many hours into myself. I did get the number one spot on the leaderboard for all levels though. I would prefer if you enter only if you at least want to try it, and do play it if you win. GA: with a difficult math problem
