GS Fuse Updates

Hope this is the right board for this:

Since GameSpot Fuse has been launched, my update alerts on the drop down menu of my original account redirects me to the Fuse dashboard and displays updates from two weeks ago instead of my most recent ones. I've checked around but there's nosign of them.In order to access those, I have to go to my profile and access my updates from the tab rather than then drop down menu now. Is it supposed to do that or is it just a bug? If there is a way to access my most recent updates on Fuse, let me know.

Thanks.

Mine does that too, and it's bugging me

My fuse updates seem to have....updated now since i last posted this so i'm getting all the latest news on the games i'm following but I agree with you two. I have no interest in Fuse whatsoever and as far as I can see, it contains all of the features that were already available on the site to begin with. And the fact that it redirects me to the fuse page instead of my updates from the drop down menu is rather annoying. There's a button on the site menu already, I don't need to be railroaded onto it any further...

Hi guys,

For those who haven't used Fuse yet, what you see on the Games filter is your updates not just some random games articles. Clikcing on the updates link like you usually do simply links you to your updates page with Fuse which is the games filter. There are several reasons for this:

• The old updates page was not accurate. You might see "10 new updates" on top, clikcing on it you might get to a page that shows you 1 article under 6 games counting as 6 updates (go check now on your profile page you'll see what I'm talking about), or articles associated with tons of games that don't actually mention the game you're following. We wanted to fix this.
• The Fuse design and algorithm allows for some new functionality like removing some of the spam articles described above as well as never displaying an article more than once. You can also watch videos inline without having to go to the video page.

Try it and share your feedback, if you still don't like it let us know why and we'll work on improving it.

Thanks!

Why didn't you make these improvements to the regular site rather than creating a brand new 'dashboard'? The whole thing just seems redundant. But, whatever, i'm sticking to my profile updates page.

Well, if you're using Firefox feel free to use the Redirector addon. Just set the "updates" button to redirect to your updates page, and voila' everything's back to normal.

For one thing, I use the dark skin on GameSpot, and find the blindingly white Fuse feed... well, blinding. I can't look at the page for more than a minute or two before I start to get a headache. I'm not at all interested in this social stuff, I just want my game updates in a format I can read.

The team is working on a dark version. ;)

I would assume in that case the dark version would convert the text to white the same way it does it on the main site.

It doesn't, though. For most forum posts, yes, but something in the way Boubou's post was coded left the font colour intact even on the dark background.

(edited for clarity, I hope)

I believe this can sometimes be caused by copying and pasting certain text directly into the editor. Sometimes it will retain whatever font HTML code t previously had, often times setting it to being black, and be unreadable against the background. As a user of the white theme, I rarely experience this issue, but I can understand how it would be annoying for those who use the dark theme.

My "updates" link in the drop down box in the corner doesn't work at all. Problem loading page.

To actually see updates, I have to click on my username and use the link on the left side.
