The lights are on
Please bear with us as we have launched in beta so you may notice a bug or two. The best thing you can do is let us know right here in the Site Feedback Forum. Have a question or comment regarding the new site? This is your place.
Have you found a bug or the sites acting strange? Let us know! Remember, we're still in a public beta so there's bound to be some bumps in the road.
Pants!
Supersnake: The swear filter isn't working. I've seen a couple of posts already showing the actual word instead of having it "bleeped".

Fixed it for that word, won't automatically go through and censor every case that had already been written, but I was able to find it. Some of our moderators might also make a change to future posts if they become overly offensive.

I get the same error, it is likely due to the fact that Firefox doesn't have access to your clipboard in Windows. Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-X to cut, and Ctrl-V to paste will have to do for now. Otherwise, I'd have to say use Internet Explorer (since it has built in clipboard access, or should, at least) - but I can't recommend that.
Still not seeing the single points for rating posts.

This, and the blog posts points not tallying, may be related. We'll look into it. Thanks!
Some times when I go to post it tells me something about a key already existing. I then press Post again and it works. I will try to get the full error for you.

Information like what browser you are using, the page this happened on, and what you were trying to post helps, too. Thanks for the head's up.
Just a heads up, when going to Explore -> Site Activity the first entry "x joined Telligent." links to localhost, rather than gameinformer.com.
This is for both the user link and the "Telligent" link.
This is not so much a bug as it is a general complaint. I've noticed that the new site seems to take up a lot of bandwidth when I leave multiple GI tabs open.
The way I've noticed this is when I have 4 or 5 tabs open for different threads and I say go to youtube or newgrounds in a new tab , I notice that the the visuals periodically skip when they never have before (I'm using the latest version of firefox and flash BTW). But as soon as I close out some of the GI tabs, suddenly that issue goes away. Is it the "what's happening" feed that tells you about recent posts that's evidently hogging my bandwidth or is it something else?
I guess what I'm really asking is is there a way to reduce how much bandwidth this site takes up or do I just have to put up with it and close some GI tabs down before trying to do watch something online? I like to keep tabs open to remind me to go back to those topics later on because sometimes there's topics that I want to keep tabs on for a little while but I don't want to favorite or subscribe to them.

This will require some research. It is likely more a memory issue than a bandwidth issue. We're looking into ways to optimize the site, and I'll keep this in mind going forward. Thanks.
I just turned level 5, but the point guide says I should've turned level 5 at 500 points. Is it actually 550?
This is something we are aware of and are dealing with ourselves. Right now, using the keyboard commands is the best way to deal with it (Ctrl/Apple+C, ect).
I am unable to write game reviews the write review button is missing

The points system should be fixed, the status message and game reviews issues should be cleared up today.
If for some reason you don't see the "Write a Review" link at the end of one of our reviews, simply click on the game's title at the top to be taken to the game's page, and there should be an option on the menu on the right (above Buy this game from GameStop) to write a review.
dbull620: Holy crap they came back with a vengeance! My inbox is swamped now ^_^ Thanks for fixing that up! In the future could you guys give us a heads up when you make something unavailable to work on it? When you guys removed the ability to change their profile status a number of people got freaked out by that. A heads up and when you guys hope to have whatever feature back up would be nice. Maybe even give us a clue as to what changes/improvements you're making to those features.

I definitely agree that a head's up would be prudent, especially if something like that goes away. I'll be more vigilant in letting the boards know when something major is coming.
