Best way to track game updates

[Singaia]

Hello there,

So, I'm new to the forum, and I'm following the threads of some games that I liked, with the objective of knowing when the game is updated. The problem is, following the thread gives me notifications for every post made on that thread, which is something I do not want at all.

Would there be any cleaner way of knowing when a game is updated? The

Thanks!

Thanks for the answer!

Isn't it a bit too unwieldy to track some specific games when that page contains thousands of them, though? What I had in mind was something to know when the games you like are updated. It may be excessive, but who knows, perhaps there's a way to do it.

Hmm...I don't access this forum with that frequency, but yeah, it's possible that checking for a couple pages in the "latest updates" tab isn't that big of a deal. I'm just getting used to it . Any other tips though, I'm all ears.

Good idea! If anyone has other out of the box ideas, please say so

Other ideas:
- Follow the creator/uploader (or both) here.
- Bookmark the pages and check weekly (or monthly, some updates may take that long).
- Leave the alerts as they are, ignore them manually (so basically do not read them) and only visit the url and keep an eye on it to see if it changes as the url includes the game's version (For instance my signature points to "r2" thread but when clicked it will become r5).
- If you are keeping track of only a few games, get a signature for them. Not only you will be supporting them by spreading the word but you can use the method above and occasionally click them to see if the url updates with the new version.
