News filtering, user comment history & profiles added to EventHubs

News filtering, user comment history & profiles added to EventHubs

We've just put the finishing touches on several new features here on EventHubs. First off, we now offer news filtering for the front page. Simply edit your profile (you must be logged in), and check the boxes of which game(s) you DO NOT want to see on the news page.

As you've probably noticed by now, we're starting to cover all major fighting games, but if you liked EventHubs the way it was before, as strictly a Capcom fighting game site — you can now customize it to be mostly that way still.

Also, we've added profile pages for our commenters, where your past comment history is displayed, along with your gamertag and join date. This should help curb some of the people who would sign up for new accounts over and over again attempting to troll other users. Plus it can be insightful to read over people's comment histories.

You can check out your own profile by clicking the View Profile link along the very top of the site, or look at someone else's by clicking their username in the comments.

These are just a few of the many changes we're working on behind the scenes. We've got a ton of new features we will be adding into the site to make it a better user experience and also do some things that haven't ever been done in our community.

If you notice any bugs or have feedback about these changes, please feel free to leave a comment below.

Lastly, we want to thank everyone for their continued support of the site. If you regularly read our articles, comment or just randomly stop by, we really appreciate that you take the time out of your day to do so.

You guys, and gals, are the motor that keeps us going, and your continued support of the site is a huge reason why you're seeing these new features and guides rolling out.

I love eventhubs.

I just posted about this in the WolfKrone LG article.
Really awesome.

LET'S GOOOOOO! TECHNOLOGY BABY!!!1

zUkUu said on January 30, 2012 at 4:25 p.m.

to be honest I HATE that user history thing... is there an option to disable it? just another step to a transparent user and information tracking on the internet.

Mabans said on January 30, 2012 at 4:29 p.m.

Cool..

Dr_Robotnik said on January 30, 2012 at 4:30 p.m.

Really? F*cking Soul Caliber but no Smash Bros? Are you f*cking serious? What's next, Virtua Fighter?

Soriphen said on January 30, 2012 at 4:31 p.m.

I love you Eventhubs.

Oroku_Saki said on January 30, 2012 at 4:33 p.m.

Damn, 89 pages of comments.
WTF have I been doing¿ I thought i didn't post on here that much >_>
I'm expecting other members to have 400+ pages or so.

Dr_Robotnik said on January 30, 2012 at 4:34 p.m.

I should probably thank you for adding filters, now that I'm done ranting about Suck C*ntiber.

reyray0709 said on January 30, 2012 at 4:34 p.m.

Catalyst said on January 30, 2012 at 4:35 p.m.

@zUkUu

The user history creates a bit more accountability for the comments left on the website. While this isn't an issue in your case, for other people it's sometimes good to look back at their past comments to see if they have a history of breaking the rules, causing problems, etc. so we can either warn them or ban their account.

This also lets users do much the same thing, but of course they don't have access to banning someone, although an ignore feature would probably be a good idea in the future.

We will be expanding the profile page in the future to include more information, but stuff of a more personal nature will be optional — just like how entering a gamertag is now. You can put your gamertag up there if you'd like, but if you don't want to share this information, nothing shows up in that field.

Cinderkin said on January 30, 2012 at 4:36 p.m.

Definitely liking the front page filtering. I actually signed in just to use it.

Thanks Eventhubs.

@ Catalyst
Awesome new tech my friend. Can't wait to see what else you guys come up with. Keep up the good good!

p.s. As soon as you add that 'ignore' feature, im gonna ignore zUkUu! lol

#17

Catalyst said on January 30, 2012 at 4:40 p.m.

@Dr_Robotnik

We can add more categories as needed in the future. We're starting with those for now. When we cover Smash Bros. or Virtua Fighter, they'd fall into the "Other fighting games" category for the time being.

We could have listed every fighting game in existence on the filter page, but that list would have been gigantic, and that would have made it kind of a pain to filter stuff out.

As is, 16 categories is quite a bit to sift through.

#18

zUkUu said on January 30, 2012 at 4:41 p.m.

@catalyst
mhhh... I get your point. fair enough then.
looking forward for future changes.

Nice features added I like it.

urien said on January 30, 2012 at 4:44 p.m.

thanks catalyst,cause i had enough of SSBB (MVC3 and UMVC3)
and by that i dont mean trolling ,i just dont like that game...
fro now one 3rd strike and AE baby

#21

Catalyst said on January 30, 2012 at 4:46 p.m.

Also, while I really appreciate the shoutouts here, please keep in mind EventHubs is very much a team effort. Often times I just get to be the messenger for big announcements.

Nyoro, SFilp and DreamKing23 do excellent work on the site. The entire team always pulls together to support each other and help out, no matter what project is being worked on.

We also have a kick ass set of readers who feed us with news tips, videos, guides and a lot more stuff. They make our jobs easier and make the site way better.

#22

Summoner said on January 30, 2012 at 4:47 p.m.

#18 at least consider adding Mortal Kombat 9 and Dead Or Alive 4 too! those are considered big names as well!

#23

Dr_Robotnik said on January 30, 2012 at 4:49 p.m.

They already have MK9 on there (good thing, too, so I can filter it out and have nothing to do with that 10 year old wannabe crap).

#24

ShadowKnight28 said on January 30, 2012 at 4:50 p.m.

I hope you guys implement a reply feature in the comments some day, where we can reply directly to somebody's comments and that person will get a notification on the homepage. I'm liking the stuff you guys are doing, and can't wait to see more!

#25

Cinderkin said on January 30, 2012 at 4:50 p.m.

It was also really cool to see my very first comment here on the site.

#26

armcameron said on January 30, 2012 at 4:51 p.m.

God, I just looked at my history. I still remember when people were complaining about how similar Street Fighter x Tekken was to Street Fighter 4. Now it's all Gems and Pandora and anything else they can find :/ I miss the good old days.

#27

EventHubs just became the best site on the internet. Also so happy to see Skullgirls on the list. Can't wait for that game!

#30

Summoner said on January 30, 2012 at 4:55 p.m.

likes and dislikes i could care less, but what this site really need as an ability for other users to mark comment as spam (similar to youtube)...

#31

Can you guys add Games for Windows Live onto the gamertag options for us PC players?

Oh yes, blatant oversight on my part. Will be up shortly.

@ Catalyst

Was wondering: will EventHubvs also add or consider adding news tags (and some better search system I guess)?

By that I mean not only MK, SF, KoF etc, but also stuff like tourneys, topanga, evo etc.

#42

portalsofmadnes said on January 30, 2012 at 5:09 p.m.

Im glad eventhubs is covering more fighting games but please no MK.

Thank you Eventhubs for making me able to block Mortal Kombat. >:D
I'm glad to be looking forward to news for non-Capcom fighting games such as Skull Girls and Blazblue~

#46

Alis said on January 30, 2012 at 5:11 p.m.

Finally, no more UMVC3 news

#47

doublef said on January 30, 2012 at 5:12 p.m.

@Catalyst,

any chance of reply buttons in the comments? and email notification if someone replies to your comment?

also, just wanted to say that over the last year i've begun to prefer your site over SRK for several reasons:

- you guys make video 'roundup' articles based on the game, i.e. UMVC / AE (whereas the idiot SRK writers post separate articles for every single video they see on youtube).

- you guys always get the big stories FIRST, sometimes several hours before SRK. People used to accuse EH of biting off other sites, but i honestly think SRK just pulls most of their news from you now.

- you keep KOF to a minimum (whereas SRK just floods their homepage with KOF crap, which is part of their same over-posting issue)

keep up the good work

#48

Grubba said on January 30, 2012 at 5:12 p.m.

thank god no more MVC3

#49

Mrb20028 said on January 30, 2012 at 5:14 p.m.

At least these features make it easier to find the trolls on here. :)

#50

Catalyst said on January 30, 2012 at 5:15 p.m.

@gtfopanda

Better search? Yes.

More news tags? Possibly. I really want to see how these work for our userbase for the time being.

We talked about adding filters for combo videos, tournaments, etc., but from a programming standpoint, this created a TON of potential problems.

I'm still thinking about how to fix this, as it would be nice to have... but solving the problem from a programming logistics and easy user experience is not a simple one. So, possibly, but not any time soon.

#51

Catalyst said on January 30, 2012 at 5:17 p.m.

@doublef

Yes. Many enhancements coming for the comments. Reply option, edit after posting and a few more things I can't talk about, yet.

To set expectations, it's nothing so insanely cool that your mind will be instantly blown, but good solid stuff that'll make the comments area better.

#52

doublef said on January 30, 2012 at 5:18 p.m.

oh, and another (small) reason why i prefer EH is because they post Cross Counter / Excellent Adventure episodes. i never understood why SRK will not post anything produced by Cross Counter

where is the tekken love?

#55

Gunner411 said on January 30, 2012 at 5:23 p.m.

IMO the EH team have done an excellent job since I first started visiting the site. One of the main reasons why I became a massive fan of SF and part of the FGC because of this site.

Also I really hope that those SAME people who continuously complain about the SAME s#!t look at their history and hopefully notice how much they sound like a broken record.

I think these changes are step in the right direction for sure. Keep up the great work!

#56

Anon said on January 30, 2012 at 5:24 p.m.

Nice update, how about the ability to upvote/downvote comments? It's such an obvious feature I'm sure you guys are on it already... :)

#57

gtfopanda said on January 30, 2012 at 5:30 p.m.

@ Catalyst

Thanks for the prompt answer, and yeah I kinda figured that would be tough from a technical standpoint.

It's great to know you guys are considering stuff though, EH is gonna get much bigger!

#58

NoizyChild said on January 30, 2012 at 5:34 p.m.

Add an ignore feature and this site will be golden.

Good job, EH.

#59

InitialR said on January 30, 2012 at 5:35 p.m.

This is the greatest update in the entire internet... Nah I kid but this is a much needed and GREAT addition to the website. Keep up the good work!

#60

Ketchup17 said on January 30, 2012 at 5:36 p.m.

good stuff.. finally get to see some major Soul Calibur stuff. Now if only you guys could get Smash Bros Brawl on here I'd be 100% happy with this place!

#61

Gamogo said on January 30, 2012 at 5:44 p.m.

Grubba knows what time it is.

#62

Dr_Robotnik said on January 30, 2012 at 5:46 p.m.

Yeah, the Smash Bros community is rather large, and it would help meld it in to the mainstream fighter community (plus, a lot of us are already here under the guise of Marvel fans [I f*cking hate Marvel, but whatever], so I'm sure the response won't be too negative).

#63

Jerry said on January 30, 2012 at 5:49 p.m.

@doublef
There's nothing wrong with a lot of KOF. That just means that SNKP is doing a lot with KOF. You can't blame them for posting a lot if a lot is going on with the game. Maybe you just hate KOF?

#64

SpinRyu said on January 30, 2012 at 5:53 p.m.

Brings back memories from I when I first discovered this site. I think I've matured a little since the beginning.

#65

Jethuty said on January 30, 2012 at 5:55 p.m.

fock yes, eventhubs is the shizzle. Im checking this site 30+ times a day, and it just keeps getting more awesome.

I wish you would include some kind of ignore funtion, so you could ignore commentors you know are going to either throw out some trollbait or just hateful comments every chance they get. Shouldnt be super hard to implement, since you already have created profiles for everybody :)

#66

danny2times said on January 30, 2012 at 5:57 p.m.

Lol this is awesome! Can you guys say exposed!?
Perfect guys,just perfect two thumbs way up.

#67

Jethuty said on January 30, 2012 at 5:58 p.m.

Also, @Catalyst

If you throw in an edit button for the post, you have to figure out a way to either see that the post have been edited, or what they said before it was edited. That way we dont have huge pages where the first comments were trolling/ignorant, then edited and the rest of the page doesnt make any sense, because people replied pre-edit to the comment.

Or just so people cant run from their trolling by editing it.

Right on. :-) I'm a recent dude 'round here (only really got introduced o the site early last year), but it's been awesome. I post way more than I though though, lol.

Also, count me as a Smash fan that wouldn't mind seeing some Smash news here and there. I don't care, whatever competitive fighter's out there, I'm all for it - so long as it's not too much work for you guys. XD
