Review Feeds and Voice Winners

[TomFulp]

To answer some questions I recieved - YES, we made it through Hurricane Sandy in one piece! It didn't hit our area too hard and the office only lost power for a day. I hope everyone in NYC and NJ is pulling through alright!

We do have some GOOD news this week - you can now keep up with reviews via the Project System! Down the left column you will see stats for reviews of your movies, games, art and audio. It also tells you how many are NEW since you last checked. The Project System is that "P" icon you see in the header when logged in, to the right of your inbox and dump space.

Here are the winners, 1st-4th:

Thank you everyone who contributed to our Halloween Spooktacular this past month. Winners will be announced next week! Because Trick or Treating has been pushed back to Friday and Saturday in a lot of neighborhoods on the East coast, we're extending the pumpkin carving contest until SUNDAY.

UPDATE: It's monthly voting time! Check your account page to see if you're in the pool of voters to select the Best of October.

I fucking love this!

[FromADistance]

Actually, a review feed is what I've been wanting for YEARS now. Is it possible to expect a comment feed sometime in the near future?

Yes yes yes yes yes and more yes please yes!

[Step]

And a favourites feed would be lovely too.

But in all seriousness thanks for the awesome new feature.

[EJR]

Noticed a couple days ago. I love it.

Congratz to the winners also.

[dem0lecule]

WhiteLightning stuff is awesome. Also, hooray for the project feeds!

That's the plan! Although Rob might take some time to look into our weird unicode issues first.

[Knuckstrike]

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for that review thing. Even though I probably won't use it soon, it's still awesome.

[NoLanLabs]

Just an idea, but it would be AWESOME if new reviews and new stuff from favorites showed up at the top like PMs do:

Hot damn! That would certainly be something! And how about a PM that alerts you to if you are chosen for the monthly vote?

Yeah, or there could be a little "1" on the gear icon to alert you of the voting.

[Adam-Beilgard]

Ehrmagerd! Reviews!

Besides my son being born, and the first time I had a McRib, this is the best day of my life!

These are the best little update ideas I've heard since the redesign. I want them and I want them now. Tom! Get your ass on it. It's an awesome idea. I see profit in it...maybe...possibly...probably not. But still do it.

Thank you Tom.
THANK YOOOOOOUUU!

"Project Stats:
-You have published 100 projects."
Huh. That's pretty cool.

[LDAF]

I saw the review feed a few days or so back. Good stuff! :3

[Viper50]

THANK YOU!!! I was seriously waiting for something like this to happen.
Hell I decided out of nowhere to listen to some of my audio once, and found reviews for my stuff that were months old that I hadn't even known were there!

Also congrats to all of the winners and stuff.
And so far I've been seeing some really great stuff for the pumpkin carving contest. Keep up the good work dudes.

Nice, thanks for the update :)

[PoisonHeart]

Great update, glad to hear NG HQ and family are okay...cool update with the review feed. Very handy!

[MikeyS9607]

My only complaint with the new review page is that there's no page navigator thingy at the bottom so I have to scroll back up.l Still, awesome. I've waited years for a good review management system.

[o0-0o]

Totally unrelated but make some slim fit shirts for the store... beefy t's are lame-o!

Speaking of monthly voting, you forgot to mention that in your post Tom.
