  • When can we expect new lessons in Angry Birds Nest's school? I would like to know more about birds in space.
  • I just had a Muppets Flashback... (a la Pigs In Space....)
  • Space lessons are finished. We hit a little road block with the next Lesson, unfortunately.
  • For all of us angry birds addicts who need to get higher than the average on all levels. It would be nice to have a place to list all of the levels that we are under the average on. Maybe on the "Your Leaderboards" page or on the profile page somewhere. Along these lines if we could get a nightly or weekly email with this list that would be nice also. Would be easier than going through all of the leaderboards to find them.

    Just want to let you know ABN is an awesome site. Great work!

    Thank you.
  • Such a concept sounds good in Theory, but when you actually try to apply it, there's a huge issue. There are well over a thousand levels. What if you're below average on all of them?!
  • How about limiting the number displayed to the user to about 100 with a comment saying the number they actually have.
  • 100? That's still an obscene amount of space
    Even just counting the number of levels which are below average would cause a sizable increase in the amount of time it takes to load whatever page you put this information on.

    -- On the personal leaderboard page, the system only adds your scores together, counting how many it has added. Imagine having to load, from a separate query, ALL of the average scores, then checking those against your individual scores. I would guess this additional query would increase the loading time by... Probably one order of magnitude.
    -- On the profile page, no information about your Leaderboards is displayed except for a simple "True/False" test to see if you have entered ANY scores. To add the same information I outlined about, that's probably upwards of 3 orders of magnitude, if not more.
  • Ok, I was just thinking it might be something cool to have. thanks.
  • I know horizontal space is limited, but it would be nice to have, on the leaderoards, an icon next to the 3 star icon that was a link to the Mighty/space eagle walkthrough. With so many levels now available, it's taking quite awhile to find the correct Eagle walkthrough. And with the mighty eagle now available for ABO in android, I'm guessing that there are many more users looking for them. (myself included)
  • Not a bad idea. I agree it can be tough, though we have kept them in chronological order within each episode.
  • Keeping them in chronological order is nice, but for us old farts that can't remember which episode came out when, or which came out before or after another, it can take some time finding them. With Fry Me to the Moon only having 10 levels, it's easy to skip over it.
  • Very fair. We're having some, um, "technical" issues in the wake of Bad Piggies. But I'll definitely keep this in mind once we get some solid footing.
  • Umm...I was trying to upload a picture and it kept showing it upside down. And now if I try to post a different one, it'll just use the same upside down picture. I don't know if this is the iPad or the website but I hope it will be fixed soon!
  • It's kind of neither. The "Album" feature is not our own, but we have already opened a few tickets with the developer. I'd like to add a manual "rotate" feature, and I have asked that before for these sorts of reasons.
  • It would be nice if the posts that you haven't read were highlighted. It would make it much easier to find the new posts without having to read through all the discussion.
  • In the forum? New posts have a big yellow "# New" tag on them.
  • I mean inside the discussions, those # new posts could be highlighted.
  • We aren't likely to make any changes to the existing forum in the near future, since we are hoping to roll out a new one soon.
  • Emoticons? (Angry Birds Style) ;)
  • There used to be emoticons on ABN but they were nixed in the interest of loading speed.
  • Oh,okay then :D
  • @amslimfordy,
    back to my post about (possibly) adding an icon on the leaderboards for the Mighty/Space eagle walkthroughs. With the recent update to AB Chrome, the Trick or Treat episode is the first one to come out (originally for Seasons) but is one of the latest to come out for Chrome.

    Not sure what the difference would be, but maybe just the icon on the generic leaderboard and not on the individual's leaderboards.

    Just an idea.
  • Slim, I know not to enter my chrome scores and I have not. But the mighty eagle is available for $.99 for unlimited use just like in IOS and now ABO for Android. Have started going through chrome with the ME.

    I think I may have an AB addiction, all 4 versions on my android, all AB Facebook, all chrome, and when my wife has a problem on her nook, I take care of it.
  • Ha ha @sparty83, have you checked for tail feathers recently?
  • i think they should have a group where girls can talk about wat ever they want without boys hearing and boys can talk about wat ever they want i think its a good idea bc theres things i need 2 shake off and its 2 talk 2 people who have been through wat i am going through in my teen years
  • This is an Angry Birds Fan Site.
  • Has the site considered creating an Angrybirdsnest app for ios and andriod recently? I think you could definitely increase user numbers with an app, if that is your goal and it would help people that use their phones to visit this site to manuver easier. It is very difficult to see in the browser on a small phone even when you increase the size. I use the site for numerous reasons and an app would allow me to visit it more frequently on my phone. This is just an idea, but I would bet alot of the users on this site would also be interested in this. There is no site that even comes close in comparison for Rovio games and information. At the very least, it would increase the number of devices people would frequently use angrybirdnest on. It is just an idea, but depending on your goals possibly a lucrative one. I would imagine a lot of the regular site users would even pay for an app. I know that as much as I visit this site I would be more than willing to part with a few dollars for an app that made it more phone friendly. Thanks in advance for at least taking the time to read this.
  • This is always on our mind. In fact, at lot of what we have done on the site in the past, say, 8 months has revolved around making the site "easier" on mobile devices. These things are quite subtle most of the time, but for instance, the site width has reduced so the page "appears" larger on mobile.

    While I can't really say much on the topic, either creating a full app or a m. website is always on our mind.
  • The website is perfect as it is. I just refer to the site a lot when I am playing AB and do not have a large screen around to refer to because the phone is the only technology available at that time. I play AB mostly away from areas that have a PC. An example, walkthroughs are the most referred to item on my phone when I get stuck without three stars. I currently use youtube for that, however, unless I am unaware of a feature on youtube, searching for the walkthrough seems to be the easiest and quickest way to find them. I have angrybirdnest listed as a favorite (or maybe it is a subscription) on youtube, but that only seems helpful if you are looking for the most current walkthroughs. Anyway after senseless babbling, an app would definitely make it easier to access things like that with tabs and buttons. Anyway, the site is more than a person could ever wish for, but an app might be a wish list item a lot of phone users would love. Thank you for taking the time to read to my thoughts. BTW the site width did help dramatically with the browsers on the phone.
  • If you go to our YouTube channel, all of our walkthroughs are playlisted in a logical way. Perhaps that can help you out some.
  • @amslimfordy Thank you for that tip, it definitely makes it easier now that I figured out how to do that. Forgive me I am old and not aware of some features that are available on youtube. I just really started using it heavily for Angry Birds. Before that, I only watched movie previews on there.
  • I'd like to know how to put schortcut for ABN site to iPad's homescreen.
    Site is already great and if you are nominated for any annual awards let us known to support you. Definitely the best game community site, which helped me to understand Angry Birds gameplay and all the world's fame and craziness about these awesome games. I only wish that I started playing games earlier.
    Is it possible to add a column to leaderbroads which shows player's platform?
  • On iPad, navigate to www.angrybirdsnest.com and click on the "square with the arrow coming out of it" button in Safari, next to the address bar. Click on "Add to Home Screen".

    We are rather tight on columnspace on the leaderboards. However, if you hover over a player's name (requires PC/Mac) it will show you their rank and platform, if they have one entered. On mobile devices, you would have to click on their name for the "hover" to appear, but then of course you'll be redirected to their individual leaderboard.
  • Maybe a mobile-friendly version if you run on iPad, iPhone or iPod?
  • @danimario9 See the thread started by Old Man Bird a few posts above.
  • I'd like to see...Saturday Selections!
    Every Saturday, a post will contain a poll on which update will come first. For example:
    What do you think will come first?
    *The next 10 (or 20) levels of Bad Piggies for Classic.
    *Haunted Hogs for Seasons.
    *A surprise update for Rio.
    *The next 10 (or 20) levels of Red Planet for Space.
    *Angry Birds Star Wars!!!
    *Flight in the Night for Bad Piggies.
    BONUS: A surprise update for Amazing Alex.
    This site once did this on a Friday, but never did it again. And I think you should do it again EACH Saturday! :D
  • As a newcomer I shouldn't grumble but...

    I love this place as is, but if I could make one change this is it: that notice to add this site to my home screen would go away or at least not pop up so often. I already have it on my home screen thank you :)

  • I think that you guys should update the walkthrough navigation icons on the right-hand side to include Bad Piggies and Angry Birds Star Wars (future).
  • Obviously we can't add Star Wars yet, as it would link nowhere. But since we know it's coming out, we are trying to figure out how best to rearrange things.
  • Would it be feasible to add an optional filter to the leader boards by platform?

    Sorry of this has already been addressed...
  • That's a tall order that we've heard before. Ideally we'd like to do that, but it won't be in the very near future unfortunately.
  • Displaying how many user and guess are currently online.
    Sometime website slow loading we can know it is high traffic or not.
  • 1. A way to repost comments easily
    2. A seperate points system for forums
    3. The ability to choose what badge you use
    4. On your profile people can see your badges
  • 1) I'm not sure I understand. To me, that sounds like spamming.
    2) The forum is completely separate from the main site. We are planning to revamp the forum completely in the near future.
    3) I think something is wrong here. I think you mean the symbol that appears in the corner of your avatar on the main site. That's your RANK, not any badge.
    4) Badges do appear on your profile page: http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/amslimfordy/
  • Ok. Thanks for looking
  • I like the idea by @bbinmiami where there are polls each week. Also, then you could post polls in the forums
  • How about adding a link on the level walk through screen to the mighty eagle walk through? I was just trying to find the final surf & turf mighty eagle walk throughs. Finally started with page 1 and just kept going. It would have been nice if I could have gone to the level walk through and clicked on a link.
