I have mine set to "Shelf View" but it's showing up like the default "Normal" view. Is this happening to anyone else?

Video Game Database Discussion / How do we handle "variants" like Nortec Greece imports?
« on: March 08, 2021, 11:30:31 pm »
Hello, sorry if this has already been clarified because I have looked and not found anything (maybe I didn't look hard enough?).
I ask this because I do have a few GBA games that aren't considered to be an actual variant by some people. Such as Greek imports with the Nortec/Diaktis Sticker and Greek language inserts, Australian imports that are North American or European versions with an ACB sticker on the box, & Canadian NA games that don't end up having their own boxes but rather have separately printed paper wrapped around the outside in English and French.
Should these be input as [GR], [AU], and [CA] in the database? So far when I do add them to my collection on VGCollect I just categorize them under whatever the box underneath was (so for Canadian games I would just add them to my collection as the general North American release, and what not).
I put an example for each of the 3 in the following Imgur album: https://imgur.com/a/16AF3v5
If this isn't already allowed is it under consideration? Or perhaps it's just not enough to justify since they aren't technically regional releases nor do they have their own unique printed boxes? I noticed that the Advance Style guide uses a Portuguese variant of Army Men: Sarge's Heroes for the PS1 that's basically just some stickers on the back but I'm not sure if that would apply to everything.
