To anyone that answers questions on the main site...

... I have a few questions for you. lol...

1) How are you finding the system?

2) Do the pages load too slowly?

3) Is it annoying that you are taken to a different page to add your answer?

4) When you get alerts that a question is answered, would it be better if the link in the e-mail took you directly to that question, rather than the page it is on?

5) Would you like a page which lists all new questions for all games, or your chosen games, in say the past day or past week?

6) Would you like the system to tell you if you have already answered a question and it is waiting to be processed?

7) Is there anything you would like to see to improve the question and answer system (I have some ideas but thought I would check with the people that use the system first)?

8) Some games have thousands of questions asked on them - would it matter to you if we archived the older questions and answers to a different page as they are slowing down some of the q&a functions?

Please, strictly no spam/chat in this thread - it is just for helping us to improve the question and answer system on the main site.

My answers to your questions Rich:

1) The systems are fine in my opinion!
2) Nope, not for me. They load at a good speed
3) Sort of, at least you place the question on top so we answerers know what we're going on about
4) That would be useful, I never really use "Question Alert" though
5) That would be brilliant. Then I could catch up on my best game answers.
6) It'd certainly help me, I may end up re-answering a question. I don't think I've even done that though.
7) My complicated suggestion of just telling you when a new question is added. I'd love that but it's probably going to be complicated so you don't have to.
8) I wouldn't think it mattered, if it's slowing down the section, I don't mind you moving them. Old questions are usually answered anyway.

Oh, by the way, if you're wondering why I'm posting at this time, my school have a teacher training day today!

1) Fine thus far.
2) Over some dial-up connections it may take up to two minutes.
3) Yes, if there's another question or answer that I want to reference.
4) Yes, that'd be better.
5) Questions and answers, sir.
6) No, if you mistyped something or forgot to add on.
7) Sort questions and answers by specific subject to minimise the number of questions asked.
8) Well, yes, that would be better.

1)It is doing well,I find it good
2)Sometimes they do.Whe I have just answered a question and want to go back to the question page for that game it sometimes takes up to 30 seconds.
3)It rarely happens but it is when it does.
4)Yes.
5)Yes it would be easier.
6)No because you may have typed the wrong thing and want to re-answer it,I've done that once or twice.
7)It's fine for me.
8)Yes it would be a good idea,considering it sometimes takes time to go back to the question page.

I think it's just fine.I would like to be brought to the question instead of the page.

I can verify a valid answer fine but it takes a long time for my bogus report to be accepted. And for the hints/cheats, can you please add a link to submit a hint or cheat on that page so we don't have to go through"Submit Stuff" just to submit one thing?

1. It's fine
2.No.
3.no.
4. That'd be good
5.Yes
6.What do you mean?
7.Tell us your ideas.
8. You should only delete questions that are asked more than once.

Is it possible for an edit feature in subs? I just wanna know...

Thanks.

Oh and I think you should add some more features to the other VGN sites.

Also, a feature that allows you to bogus your own sub. In case you realize after it's posted that it's wrong, it can be useful.

it is a bit annoying, being taken to a different page to submit stuff.

1.good
2.it was bad a couple weeks back, but its are fine again now
3.who cares
4.do both connections
5.yeah that'd be good
6.yes, and no, it doesnt really matter
7.(like spiderman said) what are your ideas
8.delete them all together if you like, i only look at the newer questions

Thanks everyone for replying - it's really helpful to get this kind of feedback from the main users of the question and answer system.

My ideas for improvements we kind of laid out in the questions, and based on your responses I can suggest some improvements to our programmer.

Thanks again guys!

Rich

I got a question for you Rich

How come team K.A on the fire red forums keeps geting reported who is doing the reporting? People tell me because it is not in the team clan forums but I know that is not true because all the other forums I have been to have teams in them and they were there for monthes my team has been reported like every week so if you can tell me why or who is doing it I would appreciate it.It is geting annoying if it is because of spam it is not my fault there are a few guys that have been spaming in the forum I would like you to do something about it. Because people have been reporting them but nothing seem to happened to them they have been doing it for so long I lost track so I hope you can help me out and all the other members of team K.A.
