Title: Am I the only one that can't add publishers or devs?
Post by: foxhack on April 27, 2015, 11:58:50 pm: Seriously, I'm approving other people's dev/pub submissions but every time I try to add something, the site ignores me. Everything works, except for those two. Has anyone else noticed that their dev/pub edits don't go through?

Edit: Okay, it worked in another game. But it didn't work on http://vgcollect.com/item/78222 - so I don't know what the hell is going on.

Edit 2: I added a publisher to http://vgcollect.com/item/78208 - but I couldn't add the developer. :|

Edit 3: ... Apparently if a developer or publisher isn't already on the site, it won't let me add one.

iirc, wasn't there something about only being able to do so while *editing* -and- not while *submitting*?

Or vice-versa?

When you submit an item, those fields are not available.

Post by: foxhack on April 28, 2015, 12:44:55 pm: I was adding devs and pubs to entries I was fixing last night during merges, correcting blundered entries made by newbies (and not so newbies), and my recent additions.

Post by: desocietas on April 28, 2015, 03:15:54 pm: I thought a developer or publisher had to be on the approved list before being considered as an edit?

I think they did that so that there wouldn't be a bunch of dupes with various spellings and such.

Post by: yancakes on April 28, 2015, 09:26:28 pm: Same here, and I'm in Canada. I can't add publishers or devs when first loading a game, just when I'm editing... which is OK really cuz like 90% of the time I notice something I have to fix when I make a new entry haha.

You're not the only one. I don't believe anyone can add pubs/devs when they're submitting - only when they're editing :)

(I'm in the US).
