Newshub 2.0 is Here!

I forgot there was a news page, I just look at the forums. Now that I look at the news page I see it has no news on it, even though there is a tournament tomorrow.

@magge the links arent random (don't really know how would you think they are random) they are recent casts or forum posts or other helpful links for new players or just resources
I agree with you, its more of a home page. However, since the client lacks a home page of sorts, the newshub has always been sort of that. A re-do would be a plus but right now I'm more focused on finishing the new website and right now just maintaining the newshub functional.

If there is not enough manpower to copy paste things from the forum to the news page, then perhaps the news page doesn't need to exist and the forum can just be put there in a tab on the client. Everyone could easily check the news or tournament subforums and get things directly from the source and not be mislead by a lack of new news.

Making the front page of the client the forum would probably cut the number of active players (or at least the ones who have the client set to open to the news page) in half.
I for one like the snazzy news page, even though it's not always up to date.

The word 'News' implicated for my understanding a main focus on well and long written articles, short announcements or crisp information, but most links and sections are pointing to non-related news stuff aka resources which feels random or misplaced to me in that tab.
I had no offending meaning. Sorry if it might have looked in that way. I know that for many of my random points you are not responsible for, was just brainstorming about the news hub in general to see what other people think about. I could be wrong as well and all was just a senior moment.

@magge dont worries, you didnt say anything even remotely rude. Feedback is always appreciated to do a better job.
I agree, it is random from the perspective of it just being News, but it acts more akin to a homepage. So it should be seen as the Home page of the client over a news page, maybe the client should rename it to "Home" instead so its less confusing.
-
Every new forum topic should be moved to word press API and mixed up with week long news. Week long news are boring, I want new content every launch.

@eternal that sounds pretty awful. Imagine opening the client and seeing "can't open FAF" or "I had error" as news xdxd. You need some sort of manual filtering or the bad stuff will come up
