    There are still a few issues being worked on. For example, registering on the Review Directory may be confusing now since it goes right to the forum registration. The link going to the Review Directory after signing up is not working either. Besides a few issues like that, I would say that it is a big improvement:).

    Now for the rest of the changes... like making the Gameogre homepage and the review directory look more similar in style.

    I believe the search is fixed now too. Search for Love again.

    Yes, those are being worked on:).

    You are already logged in. Anybody logged into the Forum is now automatically logged into the Review Directory:). There is no need to sign up separately or log in again like in the past.

    Ok, I just got word that you were one of the skipped Review Directory users because you registered "with the same email and a different username in vbulletin". On the bright side, you are the only one who has reported this problem so far, so that is not too bad.

    The coder should have now fixed you up on the forum side:). I will ask about reviews if you are still unable to write any while logged into the forum.

    Oh boy... this could cause some problems. I suggest you send a PM to every single one that got this problem, or better, an email if you have their email addresses.

    Also, I tested out the search ages ago, I think I said so in one of the older posts in this thread. (or maybe I didn't and I just have a bad memory :))

    Hmmm...ogreman will just have to fix it manually if anyone PMs him about it...you can't really tell easily who has the same usernames and different email...however, if the data is stored in MySQL, it may be possible to write a script to find out.

    Yes, you tested the search:). I was saying try Love again because that game is now on top of the results.

    That is only a problem when a person was signed up for both the Review Directory and forum, but used a different email address for each one. Otherwise, should be fine. Jared, try the review using your forum name (Jared.) not Jared.. That is probably the problem on that.

    Alright, tested the search again. I tried it with 'creature' as well, and it seems that it prioritizes titles over descriptions, which is much better.

    As a whole, I think it is a big improvement. However, we still need to find a way to make registering a little less confusing on the Review Directory. When somebody signs up for the Review Directory, they are now taken to Forum Registration without a mention of the Review Directory. The old way was outdated, but simpler:).

    You could just add an extra page at the end of registration with two options. One taking you to the review directory, another one taking you to the forums.

    There is something like that now:). We may also add something to the two pages before that as well.
