Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
× Welcome to one of the oldest board game communities on the Internet. That may sound like hyperbole but it really is true.
We are really happy to have you here. Unfortunately, being online we can't bond with you over a game so you'd know right away how happy we are to meet you. For now, you'll just have to take our word for it.
This site has always thrived on lively discussion and spirited but civil debate. We hope that newcomers here will find a welcoming atmosphere where game enthusiasts of all levels of experience and commitment will have something to add to the conversation. You never need to prove your “gamer cred” here. Whether you have been playing board games for a few months or a few decades; whether you have a huge collection or a small one; whether you have been a member here for years or just joined today – your opinion is valued here.
We know that it can be intimidating to jump into a new community and want to assure you that this is NOT the kind of forum where people will tell you that you posted something in the wrong place, or that you should have found an existing thread on the topic, or that you shouldn’t have resurrected an old thread.
So if you find a thread or an article discussion that interests you, whether it is old or new, feel free to jump in. Want to discuss a specific game or board gaming related topic just start a new topic. If you don’t know which forum to put it in, just make your best guess (we really don’t care all that much. It’s easy enough for a moderator to move it or merge it, if necessary).
A good place to get started is by introducing yourself in the “New Members Introduce Yourself” thread (below) or by telling us what you have been playing in the “What BOARD GAME(s) have you been playing?" thread ( therewillbe.games/forum/35-mos-eisley-ca...ave-you-been-playing ).
Have fun, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Submitting Articles - Summary vs Description? was created by Black Barney
Hey, I want to improve the way I submit content so i wanted to ask what the difference is between Summary and Description?
For instance for the 5-second reviews, I have text boxes for both. Which one is the body of the article and which one is what appears on the front page?
Thanks in advance

Because the reviews are so short, Uba has told me to just use the summary box.
It is my understanding that the summary shows up in the blurb on the front page. The stuff in the other box won't. But I could be, and often am, wrong.

Speaking of which, where the hell did my review of Misfits go? Submitted last week.

as the new kid on the block writing a review for a film in theatres, mine probably bumped yours. They'll likely leave mine up for a few days/week then put up your pedantic review
