    App Hub Fixes brought to you by Microsoft

    The MVPs were just notified (and encouraged to share) some of the more visible items that are changing on the App Hub forums. Here's a list of the ones people should start to notice.

    * You can now mark an entire forum as "read" so that you can easily read new posts when they arrive.
    * Education Catalog classifications have been updated
    * Sales data pipeline improvements have been made so that erroneous data will no longer be shown to creators
            (Note that feed is separate from Top Download list freeze issues, they seem related but aren't)
            (Also note that sales data still may occasionally be delayed due to ongoing system maintenance)
    * Fixes to improve membership sign-up scenarios
    * Fixes to improve the readability of the Japanese site.
    * The site can also now be updated with security patches and fixes without requiring lengthy downtime

    Some good things, some thing that some of you might not care about and others will care greatly about. The great thing is that things ARE being fixed and I'm giving a hearty cheer for that!

    That's funny, I don't the pony I asked for on the list; are you sure there isn't more?

    Haha, thanks for the update George. Nice to see some good things going on.

    A pwned pony?

    What does it mean...?

    Also - yay updates!

    Forget the pony; I want the submarine command center on Quimby's list.

    Awesome news; now the not-read section can be of use! :) Thanks Microsoft!

    Does this mean that we will finally be able to ignore the WP7 section (mark it as read, then go into "Not Read"), or just that there will be a global "mark all posts as read" feature?

    Well the feature is already implemented (all the above features are already implemented) so you can test for yourself. But no, you can't just ignore all WP7 posts. You would have to go into that forum and mark all the posts in it as reach each day.

    You can switch the forums your "Not Read" page is looking at but only one at a time.

    I see it now, but I don't see the point of clearing out a single subforum at a time.

    Flexibility. At least one other forum software has this.

    Oh, I know many forums have this feature for individual subforums. Though taking a quick look around, I also don't see any of them that allow you to clear out a whole section either. It's a start though.

    Sales data was delayed this week, and guess what froze again? Yeah, you guessed it. Kinda glad my game failed now.
    And now we have a way of tracking freezes a lot better as well: http://dailytop10indiegames.wordpress.com/

    Otherwise good to see some small changes.
