Thread: Possible Browse Function to be Implemented?

    Question Possible Browse Function to be Implemented?

    Hey fellow people.

    I've been hooked on this site for many years now and then had a few years of going away, then came back to it. Anyway, when I came back to it, the entire navigation system had changed. It looks cooler, is more modern, and works better.

    The only concern I have it the lack of a 'browse' feature.

    Now I understand you can hover over Boxes, then Games, then PC or whatever to see the latest or the best, but that's not really helpful. I've been updating my game collection and wanted refreshing art for the boxes. Sadly it is difficult to find boxes for games such as Halo Combat Evolved and other ones, as there is no direct way to view all the boxes for a particular game without the search feature, which is quite dodgy with searches being exact with the " marks, and people misspelling titles or not adding : or - in their cover name.

    Back in the day there was a page where you could view every single box name category. The reason for this thread is to simply ask if it would be a good idea to bring that feature back again, and maybe have moderators made to alter box names that have been wrong (or for the uploader to select the box name from a list instead of making their own) or if this idea is old fashioned, and there is no benefit for this.

    Obviously there is benefit, and I don't see any negative aspects of this idea. All websites need to improve slowly in some way, and I believe this will be a good idea and way to do just that.

    Thoughts?

    Jacob.

    EDIT: By a browse feature, I also mean being able to search for box type (music, Xbox, PS3, PC, movie, etc...) as well as title.

    Yeah I did enjoy being able to see all the titles and all the games on the old website. Unfortunately I have no control over anything on the main site.

    I agree, it was an important feature. I'm glad you made a thread for this, maybe Reed will see it and, hopefully, do something about it.

    Hopefully, but I doubt he will. He probably has other stuff to worry about, although it would be a good idea.
