    User Created Tracks forum getting too full for 4 platforms.

    I noticed a lot of people started making tracks and posting them on the forums here, on all 4 platforms, which is great.

    However, it is really getting crowded and threads are getting bumped to page 2 within a day already, so I suggest splitting it up in 4 sections.

    Considering TC isn't in the most optimal state ,and we cannot edit our thread titles either.

    Just want the best for our community

    Maybe add an official RL picks and/or builder suggestion thread as well.

    Until there is something like Cross-Platform functionality, this seems the best right now.

    Hi Teri,

    Instead of splitting by platform, that could be split on others criteria (that would make more sense for longer terms): track type (skill game, FMX, Trial, other) or difficulty maybe?

    Cheers,

    This is a great suggestion,
    It is practically impossible to find a decent track in Fusion Track Central,
    So I would almost be relying on the User Created Threads here to help find anything,
    But it is beginning to stack up with all platforms in one forum,

    Sub-forums for each platforms User Created Tracks should really help matters,
    And perhaps moving and stickying Morrillos Database thread to the top of same forum to help keep everything together

    Nice ideas, but I think people would rather have all their creations in the one thread, also I would say around 75% of creations would be Trials.

    An option to change the thread title would be better than splitting - People could easily identify their platform by adding 360/XB1/PS4/PC to their titles.

    I asked for this from pretty much day one:

    1- option to change thread title (on Evo it was superb to see new tracks announced in thread title without having to open thread);
    2- maybe a mod put a header infront of each thread [XB1], [PC,X360] etc. although people have been very organised, and many have this now.

    The downside to splitting is you can't easily see who s building on which platform, but I guess eventually we will either get x-platform Fusion; or there will be so many threads it will have to be split.

    Split by type wouldn't help much as I would say 80+% of releases are Trials.

    Hey everyone,


    I've been pitching the idea for a community site for a while. One that will be focused on making TC navigation easier and faster! I've just added the ability to indicate for which platform the Track is you want to submit. Please check out this thread since this is a work a progress:

    http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...al-v2-0-Forums

    I want to make the site a lot better, but I need your support!

    splitting by platform would be great because people usually only have the game on 1 platform

    other criteria are less usefull to split it because thats just based on personal preference and maybe they don't care in general about skillgames for example but they might still like a few of them,
    also builders might build skillgames and trials tracks and would rather have all their stuff in 1 thread because it shows what you all created before too

    +1 for splitting by platform. I have all of them, but (obviously) can only play one at a time. I usually have a tablet on hand with the user created track thread thread on screen and try to go through all the tracks and it's a pain having to sift through all the threads multiple times as I go through each platform. Also a lot easier to miss tracks presently as threads get pushed to the next page very quickly.
