Title: Add more than 1 game at a time?
Post by: jeff8n on January 11, 2014, 10:33:09 pm

Sorry kind of new here and I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong place.

I don't see any way to add more than 1 game at a time. If there is a way to do this, then I'm completely not seeing it. I may just be nitpicking, but it'd be a lot faster to upload new collections this way.

Hi, and welcome to the site!

If you want to add many games that share a common element in their title, you can search for that common element (for example: Pokemon), then in the list of results, check the boxes at the right of every game you want to add. Buttons will appear at the bottom of the page, which you can click to add to your collection. I hope that helps!

When you do a search, if you check the boxes next to the items, you can add more than one at a time.

Oh ok, thanks guys! I was just using the "submit new item" button.

This button actually creates a whole new entry in the database.  Only use this if you cannot find your game by searching or using the browse feature.

Edit: Also if you can remember which items you added, posting the links here would be very helpful so the mods can delete them.

I didn't use the option to submit after a search with "submit new item." Below the submit button were list of games with the same name already in the database. I just clicked on those, then choose to add to collection that way. I did not actually submit any new item to the database.

Thanks for the heads up though.
