Topic: Ideas for the site.

@Th3solution I did find that after I asked. It's not exactly what I am looking for but close enough. I am sort of curious how they are ranked with each other overall. I am curious if they run differently on PS5.

I won't be getting a PS5 until Jan or Feb so no big hurry. I want to make sure any bugs get worked out but I am really looking forward to it. My last Playstation was the PS2 so I have a lot to catch up on.

@antdickens I know you guys are probably super busy at the moment, but is is possible to have a bit of a tidy up in the PS5 section? It is 95% people asking for help, so would probably be a better fit in the help and troubleshooting section. I have reported loads, but they don't seem to be shifting.

@JohnnyShoulder I reckon Ant has some time on his hands at the mo

@kyleforrester87 too soon

@antdickens 😂

@JohnnyShoulder People seem to think this is the official Sony boards and that we’re going to miraculously solve everything. I think it’s because if you Google ‘Playstation forums’ then this is top. Or at least it is for me with the algorithm.

Perhaps maybe when creating an account for Push Square before people create an account a pop up or statement somewhere saying that this site isn't connect by or run by Sony will help alleviate that problem. Just a thought.

@Tasuki You're assuming people read pop-ups?

@nessisonett Yeah I can remember you saying the other week when someone posted that they were 'told' to come here when they had a PS4 issue. You think people would notice by the time they have registered that the site is not affiliated with Sony. 🤷‍♂️

@JohnnyShoulder yeah, I've only been moving the PS4 related ones into the other forum as I figured it probably is most useful to have all PS5 related stuff in one forum for the time being (even the help ones).

That said, I think there is probably a better way to organise threads, rather than just forums. Organising them by platform and by category (help/discussion/news etc) would make it easier to filter things rather than a classic forum system.

Therefore I think I want to develop that idea further before re-organising the PS5 stuff if that's not too much of a pain? The long term goal will be to separate out the "help/faq" style stuff and the actual discussion threads as they are distinctly different.

@antdickens Perhaps we could just have a pinned thread for now in the PS5 section dedicated to issues with the console? It’s useful to collect them in one place as there are people still deciding whether to get a launch model or wait until the kinks are ironed out.

@nessisonett It's a nice idea in theory, but new users (especially those just looking for help) would never look through a thread of issues to find their problem, so different threads is fine for now, we'll just re-categorise them into 'help' at some point in the near future.

@antdickens OK yeah that is cool. Makes sense to leave them where they are for now. Thanks for getting back to me!

When ignoring a user, any threads that they created also seem to disappear. I don't like this behaviour, since if a user has made a popular thread, then it's a big inconvenience to ignore them.

For example, let's say I wanted to ignore the creator of the Chit Chat thread (it's just an example, I don't actually want to block this person). If I ignore them, then I'll also miss out on all the lovely conversations going on in the Chit Chat thread.

I'd prefer it if threads of ignored people still show up, just without that person's comments in it.

@crimsontadpoles thanks for the suggestion, however we believe that it's far more likely that people do want to hide threads by users they have ignored. The chance of the people being ignored are the same people creating popular threads is quite low.

@antdickens That's fair enough. Thanks for responding.
