As I've mentioned in the Editorial space, we have a new forum for discussing the rules in the Rules Directory.

This gives you an easy way to post rules reviews, discuss rules changes, or say anything you want to say about your favorite rulesets.

Supporting Members have the power to open new boards for any ruleset in the Rules Directory. Please only do so if you intend to discuss that ruleset.

Please let me know about bugs. (For example, I just fixed a bug where 'Rules Forum' on the homepage went to Marketplace instead!)

The bug where board links on the homepage went to 'Not found!' has been fixed. grin

The 'Rules rules/board' bug has been fixed. grin

So it looks like only supporting members can add, not Sponsoring Members? I'd suggest letting advertisers have that privilege too…

Sadly, I can find "Rules" under "Directory" but nothing under "Forum." Have I in some way offended?

How do you get a game added to the directory so that a board can be created?

For example if I wanted to discuss Gruntz how would that work.

I like the added functionality but I wonder if this ultimately leads to dilution of content on other boards.

This is a great new feature!

How will this work with rulesets that already have their own boards in the main forum?

There is the potential for a set of rules to have two different boards dedicated to their discussion. Might lead to confusion, irritation, or needless duplication…

Just move one forum to the other I'd guess?

How is TMP 4.0 coming by the way?

Is this like adding a cup holder to a Samsung Galaxy 7?

How do I unclick certain boards and make it work.

Personal logo Extra Crispy Sponsoring Member of TMP13 Oct 2016 8:06 p.m. PST

Click in to the section and deselect. So for Fantasy click here and then the tick boxes are on the right:

… and make it work

Already done – doesn't work. All boards still display.

I'm confused. How is this not redundant of the boards for rules sets in the regular message boards section, and why would we want to have to go to two different places to look for topics on, e.g., DBMM?

Disabled that sucker appearing on my front page right quick.

If I want to look at it, I'll click it, otherwise, it's crowding off stuff I want to access.

Should work for Supporting Members, Sponsoring Members, and even Moderators.

Sadly, I can find "Rules" under "Directory" but nothing under "Forum." Have I in some way offended?

Good point. I'll go add it there, too.

if I wanted to discuss Gruntz how would that work.

Assuming you're not the publisher, just a fan? PM me with enough info so I can start a listing for the ruleset.

How will this work with rulesets that already have their own boards in the main forum?

That content will eventually be moved to the Rules Forum.

Already done – doesn't work. All boards still display.

Consider it a bug on my list.

ALSO: If there is a picture for a ruleset, that picture now appears on its Rules Forum board and on every topic, and clicking on the picture takes you to the rules listing.

How can I disable or remove this feature from my front page like Mardaddy did?

Sorry - only verified members can post on the forums.
