Title: sayin hello and some feedback
Post by riddler358 on May 12^th, 2013, 1:14pm

Hello Wu, hello fellow riddlers

Cool site

Obvious feedback is that under every riddle there could be link to forum topic on that riddle, I read somewhere it's planned and sth about database implementation, but why not simple html hardcoded links?

I think the main issue with any of that is to find the time for it. Finding the forum topic for every riddle on the website is a bit of a daunting task. (Finding anything on the forum is a bit of a puzzle.)
And you'd really want a similar index for every forum riddle that isn't (yet) on the website, which is why putting everything in a well-ordered database would be preferable.

not really ordered, for riddles with no topics just start a topic name it with riddle name and put link to it in riddle description on site, yeah for ones with topics already it would take more time

also alternative solution - for every riddle make not one topic but a forum section (1 more level), give link to section on site, and then try to put all topics regarding this riddle in its section with a help of community :)
