Hi SG,

You might notice a few updates to the discussion section. I'll quickly run through the changes.

  1. Bookmarks: When you view a discussion, you'll see a bookmark icon in the top right. Clicking this button will add the discussion to your list of bookmarks. You can access this list by using the Bookmarked page that is located in the left column, or by using the "Discussions" dropdown menu in the site navigation. You'll also notice when you bookmark a discussion it has a small icon beside the title in the discussion list to help you identify it. This icon becomes blue to notify you when a new comment has been posted since you last viewed the discussion.
  2. Sorting: On the discussion list you'll see a dropdown in the top right that allows you to change the way results are sorted. It defaults to "Last Post", which is what you are use to seeing. It also has a new option to sort by "New", which orders the results by the date the discussions were created. This might be useful if you want to stay up-to-date with new deals or puzzles. If you switch categories, the sorting will default back to "Last Post".
  3. Profiles: If you open a user profile, you'll see a new button in the left column that allows you to view the discussions created by the user.

played a bit and, imo, that really looks the best fit for "closed ones". i like it!
was writing you "how about a smaller font?": https://i.imgur.com/EnQFobg.png ...

but before start writing this comment, i've clicked the little "bookmark icon" and page scrolled down to FateOfOne comment: https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/bVXwE1v
(in address bar i've got this: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/Pscrr/updates-to-discussions#xcMYlDL)

edit: nevermind! bookmarked Fate's comment and not the thread... :P
edit 2: "All Discussions" is a very well thought add, cg. and very, very curious about the -positive- effects might have on Discussions...

Great work, cg! Perhaps you could make a preference setting, so one could pick the default sorting (new or last post).

+1, These are all great changes, but if you always want to sort by creation date, it's really annoying to have to switch it every time you view the discussions. I don't really mind since I use the "Steamgifts discussions enhanced" script which does it, but I think it would make sense for it to stay the way you want it for users that don't use a script.

Preference by category.would be even better. I like to see what's being currently discussed in some of them, but for others (like Deals) I prefer to sort by creation date.

(Maybe it could just remember the last selection)

Profiles: If you open a user profile, you'll see a new button in the left column that allows you to view the discussions created by the user.

The MVP of the entire update in my opinion!

Great job and thank you! :)

Yes, it's really useful. Now I don't need that crawler script anymore!

I'm not sure about the discussion-button on the profil...
Can we at least get an option to hide some/closed discussions.

This information is public, I could find all your discussions anyway, so why not make it convenient and reduce server load? If you don't want your discussion topic to be found - remove it.

What if it's part of a puzzle to find the topic (like in my last easter GAs)
Or if I need to prepare a topic (like in the advent calender)

And... you can't remove it.

Then I will start web crawler and find all your topics, like I did with your last easter event. And guess what? I even thought about making a fullfledged search system with it, and make it public, and I haven't done it only because I'm lazy. So, this is the same as third-party search engine, but without extra load on sg servers.
You can't hide from search engines. Security through obscurity does not work.
And, btw, with your easter event people who used scripts had a huge advantage. Don't you think it's kinda unfair?
