Quick poll - do you think the right column (latest threads + comments) should show counts instead of avatars?

Thanks for the feedback, and I'll leave it as is. :)

I would go with Avatars. Looks more appealing.

Hi all! Hope you've had a great summer so far? Thought I'd share an update on the alpha launch of the new Forum functionality!

:eyes: this is some good stuf f

I also noticed that you can edit images now (not sure if I remember correctly when I did try it a few days ago) if so it's a very nice change.

Hi all, you may notice that the story display has changed somewhat on the front page. You'll also notice a large gap of space on the far right side. That's a placeholder for the forum feature I'm working on.

I really like the single-column story view. It's less cluttered and a nicer experience to scroll through (similar to Facebook's News Feed). Not sure how I feel about having the forum show up on profil

My only gripe is how each thumbnail is too big. Each post takes up the whole page and some the whole image don't even fit the page. When I browse a "feed" like the frontpage, I want to scroll through

Greetings BZL'rs. I'm hoping to get some feedback on a fairly big feature I'm considering implementing please.

It's an interesting idea, I also wonder about the thing Benevolentia asked.

Asking for feedback is the perfect reason to enjoy a bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries!

Thought I'd spice up the hamburger icon and header background. Any thoughts? Yay? Nay? Don't be shy!

Just came home from work, I really like the purple to yellow border on top of the site.

Should make it green ;) But yeah, I think something darker would be better.

It's always exciting to see someone hone their skills to the point where they go beyond emulating their inspiration to a place where they can explore the things inside their head. At the same time, it's important for someone from the outside looking in to keep in mind that great art is not an island, there is many years of work involved in getting to that point. There are no shortcuts - everyone gets out of it what they put into it.

Wow that art is gorgeous :o

had some great ideas about enabling longer-form articles / reviews on here. I know a few of you have also mentioned it'd be nice to embed images to show a progression of how you get from a sketch to a finished image (for example). It's also a neat way to write a mini review or link to multiple videos in a more casual way.

TUNIC Announcement - E3 2017 - Youtube

I've been following Secret Legend for awhile now, a Zelda-like that has clearly gone on its own direction. To little surprise it has been renamed #Tunic. Keep an eye out for this one, I think. It looks and feels gorgeous. Can't wait!

2018 huh? any clue when exactly? I haven't been into games that much lately, but somehow I can't wait to play this :O

not sure yet. I'm trying to see if I can arrange an interview with the developer, so stay tuned. Let me know if you have any questions in particular you'd like answered.

Presenting - Direct Messaging! Check out the new DM / Chat system on BZL. It's a nifty way to privately message members on the site!

sorry about that, should be fixed!

Neat! Is there a way to message someone that's not on friendlist? or is it intentional to only allow friends dm each other?

Watch People Break Classic RPGs

captain

Having grown up on NES / SNES, there's a soft spot in my heart for classic RPG's like Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana, etc etc. Strangely though, I never played Earthbound, which people are still raving about. But alas, it's fun to watch these streams of people doing speed runs of these classics.

What would you like to see more of on BZL.co? A messaging system similar to IG / Twitter? Nested replies? Edit stories? Edit comments? Polls? Let me know what and why.

Yes, what both of y'all says. I had to delete my Paladin story thing because I typed 31st instead of 32nd. I'm surprised that I lost count of my own characters... Embarrassing, dood.

an easier way to delete old posts,, i always end up typing something and regretting it (a lot) later rip

I haven't played BotW since I got Puyo Puto Tetris. Too busy learning how to chain in Puyo Puyo. I like to think that I'm alright in Tetris. I can pull off combos and t-spins consistently; I'm trying

The #layout has been updated! I thought I'd explain my reasons for doing so.

What is the difference besides content now seeming to have a max-width & my navigation side-bar being stuck to it? I mean, I can sort of see something has changed, but I struggle to pin-point exactly

Love the idea - I seem to be a part of communities I'm pretty sure I've never tagged before (Hyper Universe & Peria Chronicles). It is also based on content you've commented on / liked?

woops, fixed. :) Ty for pointing that out.
