Status : Offline | The very first list that Just Adventure had, was pretty useful to me - as you guys say, being an alphabetic list, with little logo's telling you the platfrom and genre, and the grade it got. That way, it was a great resouce if you didn't know what to buy or play next, or where considering buying or playing candidates from a list of games.

I agree, Traveller.
A complete, alphabetical index of a large, ever-expanding section like that is always very helpful - especially if it also includes some important details like overall reviewer's score, platform/s, etc.
It serves as a table of contents for quickly scanning familiar titles or just to peruse for ideas on unfamiliar ones.
Cheers, Terry

This "new" format kinda blows - It's got a few nice features, but it lacks most of the useful functions the old forum had.

Status : Offline | So basically JA is just a mothballed AG site with a new forum? This was more than a typical website facelift - it's a different site now...

Administrator Drew answered in Post #92 of ***that same thread*** that...
We are working on converting all the reviews into the new system. Please be patient while we work hard to get as many back up as possible.
So hopefully they will all eventually reappear.

Once the post is sent, the reply with quote box doesn't show how I did it though.

Which I don't use because some of them added weird spacing I didn't want. I prefer to do it manually.

[ q u o t e] Cut and paste your comment here [ / q u o t e]
without the extra spaces.
or if you want to say who the quote is from,
[ q u o t e = tincup2 ] Cut and paste your comment here [ / q u o t e]

Unfortunately it's grayed out - we can't use it.
