[Suggestion] Splitting the 'My games' button

I was thinking this change might be useful. Since a while ago the games buttons got split into one going to the forum and one going to game details, I figure the same is possible for 'My games'.

Here is my suggestion:
- The icon (Green square in picture) goes to My games
- The text (Yellow square) goes to Latest game posts

It's not really an important change, but it would save me the time of going to the homepage every so often. Have a think about it :)

I would be more inclined towards having a separate link to 'Latest Game Posts' (possibly on the same line you indicate, if we don't want to 'waste' a line) than using 'My Games' to link there.

I can see that one might want to get to Latest Game Posts from the Games menu item, but 'My Games' does not seem like the right text to click to send us there.

Also fine 🙂

A seperate link would be preferable for me and my fat thimbs especially on phone. I can see myself missing the icon and geting frustrated :p.

Just press the homepage button on your browser. That always takes me directly to Latest Game Posts.

(Half-joking aside, I do think having an easily accessible LGP wouldn't be a bad idea.)

I knew this was coming :P

Great timing, as I'm working on v2 pretty hard right now. I don't think anything will change for v1, but I'll try some ideas for v2 as I build that part. Worst case, we stay the same and consider WHAT we can change.

I can totally live with that. Thanks! :)
Good luck with the coding!

Agreed. Maybe "Latest Posts in My Games" ?

I made a shortcut to my games latest posts and put it in my Chrome bookmarks.

If someone did want to change it now (and go through the testing, approval, deployment processes):

https://github.com/rohitsodhia/gamersplane.v1/blob/f75f28d85014c1edde1eb70a129036a9ef754d45/header.php#L46

Change:
<li><a href="/games/my/" class="forumSubmenuItem"><i class="ra ra-gamers-plane"></i> My games</a></li>

To (something like):
<li><a href="/games/my/" title="My games" class="gameSubmenuItem"><i class="ra ra-gamers-plane"></i></a><a href="/forums/search/?search=latestGamePosts" class="forumSubmenuItem" title="My game posts">My games</a></li>

Change the urls/text/titles to whatever you feel works best.

Since the small cube takes you to latest posts on the homepage I'd switch function of the yellow and green boxes for continuity

I had it that way because for the games drop-down menu the left side (icons) takes you to game settings/details and the right side (text) takes you to the forums.
So that's the logic I tried to maintain with my idea.

If have TamperMonkey and you want to get a feel for whether you really want this functionality then create a new script and try this code (or change it to taste).

// ==UserScript==
// @name Change game menu
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 2024-02-06
// @description Change GP Games menu
// @author Adam
// @match https://gamersplane.com/*
// @icon https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=gamersplane.com
// @run-at document-idle
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
'use strict';

var addGameMenu=function(){
var gameMenu = document.getElementsByClassName("gameSubmenu");
if(gameMenu.length==1){
//header loaded, change the first list item
var menuItems=gameMenu[0].getElementsByTagName('li');
menuItems[0].innerHTML = '<a href="/games/my/" title="My games" class="gameSubmenuItem"><i class="ra ra-gamers-plane"></i></a><a href="/forums/search/?search=latestGamePosts" class="forumSubmenuItem" title="My game posts">My games</a>';
} else {
//still waiting for the header to be loaded
setTimeout(addGameMenu,100);
}
}

addGameMenu();
})();

Thanks Adam! :)
Here's an octopun as a reward.
