I was thinking that maybe rather than having the "most popular topics" show up in the top of the forum, we could have the recent in-house reviews make an appearance there(in named link form) instead.

Or even an additional header that was forced that would display them similar to the front page.

Thats a pretty cool idea! I would love to see the latest reviews posted in the forums. I tend to miss them on the home page since my.neoforum is my home page I have no reason to to go the main neoseeker home, so seeing the latest ones at the top of the forum would be great!

I was thinking, we have Game Grep for posting news articles about video games, why not have something similar for hardware news? Or we could find a way to integrate a category for computer hardware news into game grep. I think it would be cool if users could also post some of the latest computer hardware news too.

Being a complete noob to game grep myself, I totally overlooked this, but having the news somehow integrated into Neo would be pretty cool too.

I over looked that a bit too, but it looks like its also for posting news about the game consoles too..

Any news on a hardware portal yet?

bump

Why did you bump a sticky?

As far as the hardware portal, I haven't heard anything about it, I think its just an idea thats being tossed around a bit.

I think rather than the hardware portal, the hardware community can focus on doing informative threads. That could work just as good tbh and can be done right now.

Update on the 2 URL Limit Issue in the Hardware Forums

Thanks a ton Red!

I can count on two hands the days that I have NOT logged in since I've been a member, and being a mod here I'll make sure things are taken care of if SPAM starts to filter in as a result of this. Thanks again.

Thanks Red!

Personally I'd like to see one with a side column, such as the one in the General PC Games Forum.

But even then, having them all at the top of the forum would be functional as well. Win Win really for me.

I may suggest the latest news/reviews idea to Red in a few days and see what he says. It would be nice to get a few more comments from the other members first though.



Portal Update:
Neoseeker has/is changing the Neo-Portals to Wikis. You can check out the wiki-forums here for some more info on it. If enough members say they will help update it, add content, ect, for a wiki, I will suggest one be made for the computer hardware forum.

Example Wikis: Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy, Simpons, and Mario.

As for the wiki-idea, a hardware-wiki would be a massive amount of work. I assume we'll start out at contemporary hardware and update once new stuff gets release. It would seem best to me if information would be taken from Neo's benchmarks and technical information from both Neo's reviews and, if lacking, other sites.
It's a great idea if there are enough people to contribute, I'll contribute an article or two if I have enough time, but I haven't really paid much attention to the new hardware coming out recently. The question is whether the other regulars are willing to contribute as well.

EDIT: Forgot about the news-part -
a bar on the right side of the forum would seem like the best answer to me.
