i started using the slashed eye to hide giveaways of stuff i already have (dlc or complete packs that don't show up in the synced game list) or don't want (published by ea or uses gfwl or other drm that's a problem for me). i'm glad to see this feature built into steamgifts now!

a couple suggestions i think would make it better:

  1. put a tooltip on it so it's easier to figure out what the icon does
  2. don't pop up the "are you sure" window and then reload the page when i click yes. i only want to click once to hide something, and i don't want to lose my place. instead, just replace the instance of the giveaway i clicked hide on with a message saying it was hidden and a link to manage what's hidden in case i clicked it by accident, and hide other instances on the page without reloading.

+1, page reloading could be easily skipped with a bit of effort

That would be fantastic. Removing the page reload would also slightly decrease the load on the server.

I'm missing that you can click on a game to get its SG stats and all of it's search results
am i missing something?
what about a link to Steam inside the GA?

i didn't use the stats and all open giveaways feature much, but i do miss having a link to steam from the giveaway page. it took a while to notice the tiny steam icon in the giveaway list, but that's actually where i want it most.

It is on the giveaway page as well.

other than “enter giveaway” i’d been totally ignoring the sidebar, so didn’t see that. good to know.

also, i may have been looking at Tropico 4 Collector's Bundle which doesn't have that link on the giveaway page but does have the steam icon link from the list of giveaways. maybe an issue with sub vs app?

+1. Also, is there a Hide button on the giveaway page itself? I most often want to hide something at that point (rather than when perusing the big list of giveaways), but there's no Hide button there that I can see.

I would also love if we could manually add/upload a list of games we want to hide -I have this huge steamgift plus list of unwanted games it would be great if I could simply upload it-

yeah i sort of assumed the manage link went to a page with a big list of games you could paste more into, but i see it doesn't. my guess is it's doing it by id and not name, so an import wouldn't be simple.

Yeah, it takes really long to hide something if you are going to do this 300 times and every time you have to wait the load and page reset. (this accumulates to alot of time) SG+ was alot faster, but didn't save the filtered game on account.
