I was bored so I hacked together some more stuff. Now it changes the default TLPD search to BW, moves the BW forums above the sc2 forums, and changes the liquipedia search to the BW liquipedia.
I would like to try that out, but the link gives me a "connection has timed out"? :/

might as well, along with the complete removal of the BW tab on the left and relegate it to a simple subforum under Sports & Games. Oh no, they won't be abandoning BW if they do that, they'll simply be streamlining the website for the majority of its visitors.
Of course, the grand exception to this removal of static content is the beloved "TSL" tab, even though it has been far more static than the Power Rank
BW, getting kicked in the balls over and over. Just when things looked better (PL Finals viewership, Flash's contract), the floodgates opened and a flood of shit came out

That they weren't just a name, that they stood for something, that they built a legacy.
I really hope they come back to the spotlight, because if anything deserves it, then the final edits. Especially over something as trivial as the Pools for instance .
Features -> final edits
That's not a really deserving place for it to be...
Also the Power Rank can be found under Features => Power Rank But you can't get access to the thread.........................

Oh well. Maybe in the future they will change it.
You can still access the thread via Features>PR, you just have to scroll down to the end of the latest PR to get to the link.

But now you can't even see the comment count on it to see if someone posted in there since the last time you checked. Will severely hamper if not kill discussion in it. It will become a ghost of its former self.
I don't understand this. There's still room on the right. If anything, why not just move it down a bit?

Yeah, pretty much. I check the comment count all the time to see if there are new posts in there.

The link says the total number of comments? Currently it says 221 The only thing is it's a real hassle to scroll down past all what has been written to get to the link, and if you scroll too quickly you can easily miss it
I still don't understand how all the SC guys can turn their backs on the game......I mean so many people like Artosis and whatnot loved SC and then obviously made the proper choice of switching to SC2 for foreigners, but hearing him trying to kill SC with words in a subliminal way was really painful to watch. Not seeing mods I used to see in the SC section anymore is really saddening too.......
Why can't we customize our homepage? So we can move the BW related stuff to the front page on our account, and remove all the SC2 stuff. The SC2 fans can do the opposite.
I think it'd be nicer to have the the title bars on the right sidebar to be the same theme. I understand that you guys might want a different theme for each section, e.g. Liquipedia and TSL are thematically very different, but it's just not pleasing on the eye, and stands out garishly in the cool ice blue of TL.net
I don't like this change, it was always exciting to see power rank and read it. I think you should move it back to its own place, but create a seperate power rank for Starcraft 2 right below it, so that viewers from both scenes can access to whichever they want easily. Also, Starcraft 2 power rank souınds awesome.
EDIT: And no, what we have now isn't power rank of SC2. It's just a list of the current great players.No writeup, no opinion and thought given to it like the BW one.
I don't know how many follow bw, and how many follow sc2 here but I see two posibilities:
Either TL is moving in the direction of SC2 only portal. Or it's the time of changes and by the end of these hard times both categories of users will be able to have most of information filtered and everything they need on the site.
I really hope TL has enough resources and will to fall in the second choice. And yes, removing BW PR from right side is huge for BW followers here.
or at least you know instead of using Bolt's script we should be able to set BW on the TLPD and below that we should have the power rank when set to BW.
