Title: UPDATE - New List - Currently Playing
Post by: jason on May 06, 2019, 08:06:06 pm
I've added a new list for all users, "Currently Playing."

Please let me know if you have any issues.

Very cool! Mine works, thanks very much for adding that. Is there a way to add this to our signatures like we can with our recently added to our collections?

Hmm... Not as of yet. I'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank You very much Jason! ;D

Been wanting to have this list option since I joined, very much appreciated! Now to add in all the titles, it's gonna take a while, heh. Excellent update. 8)

Hi Jason, after using the new Currently Playing tab I noticed that the links in the side menu all point back to the Collection tab instead of staying under the Currently Playing tab.

I attached some screenshots to what I'm referring to.

When I click Nintendo Switch [NA] drop down it jumps back to my Collection of Switch games instead of staying in the Currently Playing tab.

I think that most of this information is not needed for "Currently Playing"
Only really would need the notes field. But perhaps have different dates such as started and finished.

Seems like a lot left to be done for the feature.  But could be really useful in conjunction with the collection feature.  I feel like it'd be better to be able to go and "edit" an item in your collection and mark it as "currently playing" and it'll go duplicate it over to the currently playing section.  Add a couple of flags for beaten and such.

I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to add a game to Currently Playing on mobile  :-[

Same as adding a game to your collection.  You just click Add to Currently Playing instead of Add to Collection.

My bad. Looking into issues with the sidebar filtering for Currently Playing. I still need to add a new button to the search pages too. Currently you can add a game on the individual game page.

My problem was I was trying to add a game using the checkboxes on the larger games lists and I didn't know I had to click on the specific game to add it


Edit: Also, when did we get the option to delete posts?

Is there ANY way that button can be moved to the other side where it's next to "Add to Sell List" and not next to "Add to Collection"? Please?  ;)

Yeah I kept adding things to currently playing instead of collection.

Would there be a way to see what other people are currently playing without having to type the username out in the URL?

Also would prefer if the button for "Currently Playing" used some other word, or in effect, made the button not as wide. It makes things wonky because the menu looks to use relative positioning, when viewing on resolutions less than 4:3.

I have updated the location of the Currently Playing for now to put it to the far right of the lists.

For me, both the desktop and mobile (iOS) versions seem to be working better than ever!
Well done, Jason!

Hi Jason, just checking in on the updates for the Sidebar filtering for the Currently Playing Tab?

At the moment the Sidebar filtering doesn't link anywhere, it just lists all the games on all platforms. Say for example if I click Switch or PS4 it still lists all the games on all platforms. Thanks again Jason. :)

Thank you for the reminder! I've just rolled out a fix for the filtering. Please let me know if you still have trouble with this.

Whenever a user adds an item to their Currently Playing list, it appears in the feed as if the item has been added to the user's Collection instead.
