We have just updated the site to now include NeverEnding story scroll. This mean pages have disappeared and instead you can keep scrolling for the recent news.

When you reach the bottom of the page, more stories are loaded.

After five scrolls, it pauses (so the footer links can be clicked) scrolling again activates it again.

Code cleanup

We've also done some backend cleanup, and removed old code that was no longer used, so it's also a bit more streamlined.

Social buttons

We also updated the social buttons across the (main) site:

Facebook Likes now allow commenting to Facebook :)

We removed the social links text that appeared under the articles and added this instead:

In the next update, search will be overhauled..

When searching we'll add:

  • Only search titles? Yes/No
  • Search within results
  • Search tags only
  • Date range search

We don't want to make it overly complicated, but we feel the above options while searching are an absolute must!

These updates also apply to NeoGamr and as per usual, you may want to force refresh your browser on Neowin or NeoGamr to see the changes (CTRL+F5).

Isn't pretty! Surely you'd be better off processing the styles, at least headers etc via a templating engine? Thinking Mustache.

Just a small thing I just noticed (and no, I haven't just been to the toilet). After scrolling down a bit, and clicking to read an older article, when going back in the browser, you start at the top of the page again.

Any way to go back to the place you got to in the scroll?

Update: Timan has moved the Like This button under the post, it makes much more sense to have it there, and might get used more..

You might have to do a force refresh (ctrl+f5) to see the updated posts.

To be honest when I noticed the move I was very confused. I think it made more sense where it was (top right corner of every post like a "close" button). But I'll give it some use and see how things go.

I agree. It looks a little out of place down there. It seemed a better fit in the top right. Then again it might seem odd because i'm used to the old placement.

And I was thinking that this was a bug with the layout.

At least the button is now a lot more visible, I agree that it is a bit out of place

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Microsoft Eyes DeepSeek V4 for Copilot Cowork: What Azure Hosting Cannot Fix

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Microsoft officially launched its Copilot Cowork enterprise AI agent on June 16, 2026, switching to usage-based pricing on the same day it disclosed it is considering a Microsoft-hosted version of China's DeepSeek V4 as a lower-cost engine for the platform — a pairing that puts the company on a collision course with both its enterprise customers' security teams and a White House that has spent months trying to wall off Chinese AI from American infrastructure.................... https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318647/20260618/microsoft-eyes-deepseek-v4-copilot-cowork-what-azure-hosting-cannot-fix.htm

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
