Title: Too many SteamsUpdateNews
Post by: Apostrophe Spacemonkey on July 04, 2013, 09:23:37 am: Usually I do find these worthwhile, however sometime a whole bunch of them come at once and flood the What's new page.

Is it possible to filter out some of them, (like the DLC ones), or limit it to so many per day?

We might be able to hide them from the whats new page entirely but then you wouldn't notice without hunting them down yourself.

Post by: LeadCollector on July 04, 2013, 02:32:32 pm: It makes finding the one or two actual posts difficult :)
But on the other hand I find some of them interesting and might otherwise miss the news.......

So conflicted right now :(

No one uses the what's new page.

Also I don't think it's an issue with steam news posting too much, rather that users don't post enough so it seems like a lot.

I think I counted something like 4 new posts in total on Wednesday.

It's easier than going through every forum looking for new posts.

Post by: oefox on July 08, 2013, 09:29:48 am: I too added the steam user to ignore a long time ago and it never worked, but today I click the 'what's new' button and am not spammed for a change...is it true, is it finally gone?

E: no, it's not true, there's just only 1 steam update for a change
