Hi-Def Ninja - New Site Features - 2026 - What Would You Like to See?

[Wreck]

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.

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

in which case, a new site feature which would be useful is being able to link the same, single thread into multiple forums, so that people can access the same single thread on the same release in the same country from multiple forum locations, rather than having duplicate threads. appreciate this will be dependent on your site architecture.

I always thought about the possibility of hiding a thread (not visible after it's hidden). There are just simply a lot of releases I'm not interested in and scrolling through the Steelbook section for example is sometimes dragging.
So since this is a wishlist, I choose the option: To hide a thread.

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.

It's bad enough with a thread for each format and country, absolutely no need for twice of everything!

fire the magawokes into the Sun in an epic celebration!

...MAGA or the 'wokes'

i want that @paulboland gets an update, the latest version has many bugs

This is why

He wouldn't know, he only buys Playgirl

It would be good to have a section where members who are going through personal struggles can chat openly and hopefully reach out for advice, support and encouragement. Some of my recent chats with forum members have highlighted the struggles and challenges they're going through, myself included and although members may feel they can't open their hearts on the forum and be honest about their struggles and may not even want to, having the option to do so may help if they know its available.

Return of major releases group buys, maybe more on books and memorabilia not just ones you can generally get but what others have created and perhaps put on here as group buys.

Mental health discussion has been a great and supportive discussion.

a good steelbook artwork/concept by floppy @Noodles
oh wait, you are asking about something that's possible, oops

i want that @paulboland gets an update, the latest version has many bugs

fun aside: member awards (best member/ worst member and so on)

You just want to win at least one award in life, and that'll be 'worst member of the decade'

Jokes aside, brin back the best/worst steelbook design awards, is my choice

How about opening up access to all the HD ZETA threads again so we can discuss things?

I was recently thinking about buying their BTTF box set second hand and wanted to ask people a few questions first but you can't even find it on the site now anymore. It's pretty frustrating.

They are the only retailer that's censored on this site despite others carrying on much worse......

 

[Wreck]

A lot of good responses here folks, and many we will take some action on. Anymore pie in the sky ideas?

Can we get an agree reaction button?

 

[BluSteel2012]

Or a dislike button.

I take it you are aware of the Like button on each post to the right? If you hover over it, it gives further reaction options. Unless you can clarify a specific reaction you are looking for. Like @BluSteel2012 mentioned below a dislike button. I know we can add that, opted not to long ago but likely worth revisiting adding now.

 

[tommyh84]

Poor @tha_lunatic you must really not like him

Just tag me in any HD zeta threads you want unlocked , that or other mods can unlock them going forward.

Some people get crazy over a dislike, and specifically go to dozens of that person's posts to dislike them as a 'revenge'.

 

[hatredhorror]

yeah i just think it adds unnecessary toxicity

and we already have @tha_lunatic for that
