Hi Jane, yes, you are right, but the Gamezebo - Team is working on it. We just have to be a little bit patient :)Greetings, Kayleigh

Hi, OldMan, thanks a lot and also for your kind words in another thread :). But that was just the "Just in"-notification. Im sure, the real review of the game will give much more information (in a much better english ;))than mine was :))Greetings, Kayleigh

Not real sure but I think I did post something on this game earlier, couldn't find it if i did but I do remember saying that it seems I'm about the only one who likes this game (coarse it's an HO game and I would-hehee) but I have enjoyed playing so far. Don't like the dark sceens in between rooms but I can live with that, I reckon.

Does anyone have a clue exactly how long this game is?? I have done over 66 scenes and only about 20% done. I love these games but wow this one is SUPER long. My other con regarding this game is that the objects are NEVER in the same place they may be repetitive but not located in the same spot in the same room.

Jean, I like this game too and I bought it.br> fancy, I think I've heard it all now. Most people are always complaining that games are too short, yours is the first I've ever read about a game being too long.

Jean,
I saw your other post in the forum attached to the Just In article.
When at article is written on Gamezebo it is listed under “Features”. They have news and interviews and such. When you open the article to read it there is a place to click and go to a forum to discuss the article itself. If they do an interview or announce a special contest or something like that and people want to make comments on what’s in the article then you go to that forum. The link is blue and it says “Discuss this game in our new forums!” This link is at the top and bottom of the page.
When the Gamezebo staff posts a “Just In” article about a new game that is out, they include in the body of the article a link to discuss the game in the actual game forum. It is a blue “click here” within the article. The game forum is attached to the other game information such as the Review and Tips & Tricks.
So if someone looks up the game “The Secret of Margrave Manor” in the Gamezebo alpha index and goes to the page for that game the forum comments won’t include any comments made in the “Just In” article forum.I think the reason that it is so confusing it that when you open the Just In article the two blue links at the top and bottom of the article are much bigger than the link in the body of the article. And the wording of the big blue links says “Discuss this game in our new forums” not “Discuss this article in our new forums.” So naturally people click on that big link thinking that it is the game forum. Right now there are thirteen messages attached to the “Just In” article forum for this game alone. There are many other messages attached to the other Just In game articles also. So you are not alone.
I guess all this sounds confusing and I think it is. How many people looking at this site would know about the forum structure that is built into the articles as opposed to the “click here” within the article? The people clicking on the Game Forum link are the people who are not opening the whole article. If you read the article on the home page and don’t open it, then you don’t see the other two bigger links that are for the article forum.
Anyway this is the long answer to why you can’t find your other post. It’s still there, it’s just waving to you from far far away. Maybe if others read this it will also let them know where some of their long lost posts are. It’s like when you turn around and say, “I know I had that a minute ago, what did I do with it?”

hey pillar, i definitely agree with all you have said. what is happening is that the site automatically creates a forum whenever we create an entry. which makes sense when its a game's related entry, but not when we do a "just in." we'll fix it. the thing is that we want to tell our users the moment we can when a new game is out, creating the extra forum, and that is what makes it confusing. we really are looking to make the improvements necessary to make these forums a lot more easier to navigate through.

Joel,
Thanks for your reply. We all know how hard you are working and we appreciate everything you are doing.
I wrote the post above for two reasons. I am hoping that people will better understand the structure of the Just In articles and the forums attached to them. And also, so they wouldn’t think they were losing their memory. The memory loss thing is kind of a scary subject for us older folks. We joke about it, but it can be a little unnerving to lose something and then wonder if it ever really existed at all.
Is there perhaps some way to make the link to the game forum that is within the Just In article bigger and bolder, maybe all caps, so it could compete better with the links at the top and bottom of the page that are not the game forum. Just a thought.
