The Community Spotlight 2022.04.02

2 years ago

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight. I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best community-created works from the past week!

Well, we have a lot to discuss this week in terms of charity and overall site-related stuff. As most of you are interested in the latter, let's talk about those first. Many of you have been using the forums to ask about when certain premium shows will be returning, and many of the questions are already answered on the Programming Schedule and Show Notes page. If a program is not on the page, you can assume it will not air this week.

Now let's talk about bugs on the site. First, several of you reported that the "All Videos" premium RSS feeds are missing content, and Mr. Rorie has an update on the situation and has filed a ticket! Second, those that have experienced issues video issues related to the RSS feeds, API, set top boxes, and apps. Again, Mr. Rorie has an update and wrote something up about the possible sources of these issues! Finally, many of you are still reporting that you are constantly getting logged out of Giant Bomb. Mr. Rorie has taken the step of consolidating all of the tickets about the issue and hopes to report back on the progress the engineers have made on this issue shortly.

In other news, I want to thank everyone in the Giant Bomb Community that donated to my charity drive last week! For those of you that do not know, I (ZombiePie) will be participating in the GBCER and need help reaching my fundraising goal. Even if you can only spare a small donation in the single digits, every bit helps. Right now, I'd like to be able to reach $1,000 before the official start of the event. If you can't donate, please consider spreading the word.
