Hi All,

Thinking ahead we'd like an open discussion of what potential new site features you'd like to see?

Hopefully we can tackle some of that in 2026!

Whether it's something small, or something big we'd like to hear your thoughts.
 
Personally I think this site has the best user experience in terms of menu and where everything is etc so I don’t think the site needs to change much visually but mainly to bring back Ninja Week and for the site to load properly half the time (you may think I’m having a jab, I’m not, it can simply be frustrating but has got a bit better in the last month)
 
I’m sure this will cause a stink but…do we still really need a dedicated Arrow sub forum? It’s just with duplicate posts in that and the other subs, when new Arrow releases get announced it’s hard to navigate through the new posts because it’s balls deep with identical Arrow releases in multiple sections.

I’ll get me coat.

Funnily enough I was going to mention this :rofl:

I like the Arrow section of the forum but I do think identical releases in multiple countries can get consolidated into one post (multiple) with purchases links for each country added as they become available because it does get a little nuts.

I would really like it if we brought back doing a HDN exclusive Steelbook, even if it was just one release a year.

A release that is from a different country is always to get a separate thread this applies to all UHD/Blu-ray releases not just arrow releases
This is why you see separate threads for releases from UK/USA/Germany/France/Korea/Italy and other countries
The threads of UHD/Blu-ray releases from other countries have different release dates those threads that get added to the HDN calendar database lists which country the release is from so needs a separate thread for that reason alone
Releases from different countries can have differences in disc content included sometimes and a SteelBook for example can have a different finish used that is released from different country so not always exactly the same

The reason why you see arrow threads in both Blu-ray Collector's & Limited Editions forum and the dedicated Arrow forum is Blu-ray Collector's & Limited Editions as that forum section get lots a more views from members and vistors to the site compared to the dedicated arrow video forum
The dedicated arrow video forum is for all releases from arrow as in has threads for their limited and standard releases not just the limited editions
The limited collector editions thats going to be very popular as in likely to sell out quickly could get missed by members and vistors to HDN if threads was only in the dedicated arrow video forum
Arrow Video USA and Arrow Films UK not the same websites links and have different release dates and releases both slips/amaray cases and discs also have differences the UK releases have BBFC age rating logos the USA releases don't

There is also other dedicated forums on HDN example Shout/Scream Factory that is often not updated and there is other dedicated forum sections on HDN that don't get regular viewings and this require threads also be created in more popular forum sections on HDN so members and vistors don't miss out on a release and more chance purchase links be used.

HDN makes revenue from the purchase links used to make a purchase if those links less used results in less revenue to HDN to operate and run the site
