Get Rid of the List!

[Gorjira]

The front forum page is expanding, and its taking longer to find the boards we want. Be it retail or arcade, if its out now or out 4thQ. The least you could do is add an alphabetic row A-Z hyperlinked to take us to the letter we want (IE. Click G, takes us to all games starting with G)

This probably sounds like Im being lazy, but with more and more games coming out each year, it will have to be done sometime ;)

I guess this is an idea that may have been coverd before, or more than once Id imagine. I just thought while I was scrolling down the long list

I'm baffled how this keeps coming up. Scrolling takes all of eight second to find something, Ctrl+F and search and you'll get it even quicker. There is no reason for us to add more code to the site when everything is right out in the open...

Apple+F
Ctrl+F

Ezpz.

Calm down man, it's really not that hard at all.

I know what your saying. But in years to come, imagine the size of the list due to very large ammounts of games. I never know about that CTR+F thing though, thanks.

Plus, you can sort the games list on the mainsite by letter, and it's all of two clicks to get from there to the game's forum.

Whose side are you on here.
I'm confused by your statement. :p

On the main page of the site, not the forums, you can look on the left and click on 'retail,' 'arcade,' or more, and then click on a letter at the top to get to those games. Click on it, click on forums, and there you are.

Still quicker to scroll in the forums.

Actually Gorjira's post does give me an idea that would probably satisfy just about everyone. Instead of having the game genres being the subsections that they are make them main sections, thereby collapsable. For instance if you never play Family Games then that would allow you to scroll down to find what you're looking for a little faster while requiring just a minimal coding redo on the forums.

I am on my own side and none other. It's called the Awesome Side and exists only in non-Euclidean geometric planes. But the Awesome Side coexists with the "nay" side in this case, as doing anything to the forums list would be a waste when RX has an Achievement Difficulty thing to work on. :p

Good call, Korix.

It's what I do.

On a fast connection, sure. On a slower one, like if you have a crappy iPhone like I do (as opposed to the 3G model they should have introduced in the first place), starting on the main page may be easier, and if page size is an issue, you can bookmark one page in the retail listings (say, this one (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/browsegames/Retail/X)) and one page in the arcade listings (like this one (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/browsegames/Arcade/Z)) so that you have the alphabetic listing quickly available without having to load either of the "all" pages.

Well, then, there's details for finding them the main page way and your bookmarking note. Should be sufficient.
