IGN Tech

How can we improve IGN's Tech Channel?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Add reviews of electronics and more electronics to tech page.

    Would be interesting to know what IGN thinks of products like memory sticks, Bluray-players, Television as well as gaming etc.

      • Put better stuff on your tech page.

        Everything on the tech page is stuff covered in other sections of the site. It is boring. Please add different gizmos, or even just technology in development in different areas. WHERE ARE THE PARTICLE LASERS IGN?

          • RSS Feed

            Maybe I just can't find it, but I suggest a RSS feed for the tech channel. There are a lot of tech and gaming sites I go to and it just saves a lot of time for me to have all the updates in my feed reader. I don't even mind if the feeds are truncated, because since I value IGN's opinion, having to click through to the original article is no problem at all. Thanks

                  • Force Collapse MR?

                    I've noticed this many times:

                    http://content.screencast.com/users/Will_Claiborne/folders/Default/media/bb54ab9b-7f92-4b6d-81e2-0a122d52f4c7/tech_medrec_blankness.png

                    A while ago I opened a ticket with AdOps, but seemed very low priority for them. Not sure if there's something we can do on our end to protect against this

                    • LeaderBoard Collapse on Tag Pages

                      If there is no leaderboard on tag pages, that space should collapse. According to Andrew Evans, no leaderboard is a valid use case.

                      This occurs on all browsers

                        • Twitter button opens a new window

                          Clicking on the "Twitter T" opens a brand new tab. The "normal" behavior for Twitter log-in box is a pop-up, so you aren't taken away from the page you're on.

                          • "load more" should indicate start of new content

                            On the main blog, there should be a distinction between previously loaded stories and new content following an AJAX load. Could be a simple static border that's a little darker, or a temporary background color flash on all of the new additions.

                            • Formatting Bug

                              I have run into this formatting bug on Cheats, and it may effect Tech.

                              Here is an example I've created:

                              http://write.ign.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=59154&action=edit&message=1

                              http://www.ign.com/cheats/games/mappy-arcade-493171

                              The code looks fine when viewed in the WYSIWYG, but when published, the spacing after a list is all wacky. The next line buts up against the list, and BR tags don't work to force some space.

                              Additionally, as can be seen at the bottom of the cheat example, single paragraph breaks don't seem to be working for the single, short lines under the bold tags.

                              • Double // in URL

                                If I am at www.ign.com/tech/ (notice the trailing fwd slash) then the nav links on the Tech homepage link to /tech//ipad.

                                The links still go to the correct page, however

                                • Make the submitted content textarea much larger and resizable

                                  When I go to add an article the textare is too small and I can't resize it in chrome.
