Since a lot people browse TDF via mobile , Digit must optimize Forum for mobile use................

[Krow]

^TDF mobile is available if your phone supports Tapatalk. The app costs about Rs 150.

Why don't DIGIT uses Disqus for their commenting system on thinkdigit.com.
A site redesign is very much needed.

HEY GUYS
lately i have decided to go bit critical over the hd game trailers and gameplay videos that digit is bundling in the discs.
The problem is mostly with the gametrailers.com videos which are in majority in the gaming videos section.
Following are the isssue:
1.all of them are hd in name only(except the 720p resolution)
2.most of them are badly upscaled and console recorded and therefore lacks in quality.
3.There is lots of pixelation of dynamically changing content(no hardware based Issues to complain)..and the whole videos are faded lacking colur
4.Everyone who would hae first hand experience of playing them have must noticed that those GT Videos are badly re-rendered with heavy frame dropping.
I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASISE HERE THAT NONE OF THE PLAYBACK ISSUES OF GT CONTENT IS ASSOCIATED WITH HARDWARE QUIRKA AND I HAV TRIED TO CHECK IT ON MULTITUDE OF DEVICE AND PLATFORMS(VLC,GOM,WMP,KLITE,LINUX,WINDOWS and even on mobile devices)
Here IS my Advice:
1.Skip The gt.com as source for hd game videos..THE MUCH BETTER place to look for is IGN,gamespot,gamevideos.1up.com,hdtrailerz.com, all of which features official Trailers
2.IGN And Gamespot provides PC walkthrough(gameplay vids ) which are much smoother and well recorded in comparison to console videos of gt
3.Youtube is always there to have hands on HD OFFICIAL Trailers from the respective publisher
4.THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE..WHY include gametrailers staff played gameplayu videos when the Guys at digit can have there own walkthrough on dvdz and please allow for TDF gamers to have their best WALKthroughs getting featured DVD(even if it is occassional)
THANK YOU for listening(..reading!)

1.all of them are hd in name only
(except the 720p resolution)

it is really not of much use to provide us 1080p videos. Most people cannot play them due to lack of good hardware.
1080p videos also would consume lots of space. That again I think is a waste. Digit are better of giving more software according to me. Many non broadband users read this magazine and are benifitted by software.

Dude iam not saying that the game videos shoud be hd and that it should 1080p rather than 720p
instead iam kind of on ur side ..what iam saying is that the gt hd vids are complete waste since they eat up the size of dvd by occupying large space
and more importantl they are not even as good as standard hq videos

It is not a suggestion but a humble request.

Team Digit should do something to give a good lesson to RASHI PERIPHERALS regarding the harrasments we face during RMA.

DIGIT once have done this to VIEWSONIC by taking initiatives which is praiseworthy.

It is a request from all digitians who faced the inhuman behaviour from Rashi so that we regain faiths on ASUS and other products handled by RASHI.

I personally believe TEAM DIGIT can do this if they want .Who knows may be TEAM DIGITS relatives are also facing the same problem in one part of the country like us.

A couple of my friend joined TDF and they found it non user-friendly because of the spam checks. Even though they apply for only 10 posts or so, they are irritating. I'm not asking to remove the spam checks. But, I've a couple of alternative solutions here. What's the point of Spam checks when each post gets reviewed by mod before it's published?

1. Assign the task of monitoring spam & able to delete spam posts to about 100 trusted users spread across various section. Mods are doing good work. But this will give the freedom to reduce the spam checks.

or

2. Can't the spam checks be only simple mathematical calculations? ( like "under-root 64=")

or

3. Spam checks can be removed for trusted users' friends/contacts. For example, if some of my friend wants to join TDF & I know that he won't be spamming here. I guarantee his credibility to Mods. Mods remove the spam checks. If still my friend spams, I won't be able to do so in future.

The questions asked during the spam checks might seem easy. But you need to google 'em.

I completely understand your reasoning. In fact, even I am against manual moderation as it is equally tough for us. But spam checks will be there. Sadly, there is no other way. Believe me, it is equally difficult for us to approve post on a constant basis and be online all the time.

I had ranted about the spam problem here: India/China and spammers

Assigning "100 trusted members" to approve posts is equivalent to making "100 moderators" - yup, that's the way vBulletin works.

Simple mathematical calculations can be cracked by bots. Even reCAPCTHA (the two word validation you see in most websites) was also cracked by Russian bots a year ago. The reason we have tough queries is, people _will_ have to Google if they want their post to get accepted. It keeps bots away. And there are human spammers too. Human spammers will not bother to spam our forum if they see our spam filtration.

I saw you reading that Thread & went through the complete thread before coming here. I completely agree with your points.

Can mathematical problems like this be cracked too? - "Subtract seven from eight and add three"

By human spammers? yes. For a human spammer, we need to his time so that he gives up trying.

One who is genuinely interested to be a part of the forum - to contribute and get his problems solved, will definitely answer the questions asked after Googling.

We need to have a tricky problem for bots and humans at the same time.

[SuperH3art]

Sorry if it is in wrong thread

I would like to have a TDF app for blackeberry, android and other mobile devices

There is Tapatalk but I don't want to spend money on that. A free TDF app will be great.

Please again start all those little contests that were given in the old issues of Digit of years 2006-2007 but specially the contest in which we had to given funny captions to pictures that were already given a funny caption by the digit team, aka the caption contest.
I don't know why Digit stopped the "30 minutes with..." article that was usually published in Digit. But it was amazing and it should be started again as it provided lots of knowledge.
I still remember how I present making and using batch files using the tutorial on Windows batch files.

[thetechfreak]

Harsh.

It will prevent people from posting their queries properly and reply to someone else's query.

Nice suggestion. I will try to do that.

i use windows 7 and i can clearly see it....

[digik]

You place forum link at the end of the page and is difficult to fine. Kindly make the link bigger and put at some area of the page so that it can be found easily.

Yes. WE can Quite clearly

Nope. I can't b'coz I don't have that font in my windows 7 install.

[thetechfreak]

@Tech&ME I really havent installed any Font. Maybe its because I have Win 7 Enterprise?. Dont know. Confusing

[pramudit]

Can you please bring back the recent thread list that was present in the bottom of page...?
It was really a assert...

[clmlbx]

Pls change forum Dictionary to UK rather then US

It is annoying when I type right spellings and it says wrong & shows red line beneath it,

recent list at right, links to first page of thread instead of last which should be..

[Krow]

^Isnt that in browser settings? Or is it in forum options?

[clmlbx]

I believe it is forum options, as it happens only in digit forum In "Message Editor"(which should be in control of forum)
