We have just deployed our latest build of PlayHaven complete with a brand new feature that both guide writers and readers will find very useful – the bounty system. Members of PlayHaven will now have the option to request guides to be written and vote them up to let guide writers know what topics are the most important to readers, and what most people would like to see created. Once a bounty is created, guide writers can submit their guides to the bounty. If multiple submissions are present, the bounty creator can choose which best answers his bounty. I encourage all of you to try out this new system and give us your feedback so we can perfect it.

That’s not the only change you’ll find – we have many other new enhancements and features included as well – implemented based on your feedback that you sent us!  One important one is the ability to know view your guides as text only.

Many of you are GameFAQs writers and some have expressed concern over having to write two completely different versions of a guide to gain maximum exposure. We completely understand the concern, and to alleviate this, have created an exporting tool to have a text-based version of your guide automatically created for you once you create it on PlayHaven. This text version completely adheres to GameFAQs standards on submitted FAQs including the 79 character limit and also converts your tables! You can access these text versions by just going to the guide themselves while logged in and clicking on “Export as GameFAQs text”. We would love feedback on how to further make your guide as accessible as possible to everyone.
