News / Fix for Searching for Ys series of Games

« on: February 12, 2023, 08:16:20 pm »

Hi all,

You should now be able to search for "Ys" in the main search as well as the advanced search. I know this is a small fix, but can be bothersome if you're a fan of the series. Our search had limitations based on the length of the search term.

Do we have any other 2 characters series / games that pose a similar issue?

News / Website Outage January 18/19 2023

« on: January 19, 2023, 10:23:10 pm »

We are very sorry for the outage between the 18th and 19th.

We had scheduled maintenance from our hosting provider as well as they had scheduled maintenance on their side. The main issue occurred when our server rebooted. It was trying to mount a phantom external drive that we had previously deleted. We hadn't anticipated this. We eventually were able to log back in into the safe mode and mount the main drive. Then we removed the phantom drive from the fstab that was hanging everything up and rebooted. Shout out to Michael, Matt, Trip and everyone else for alerting us to the initial outage. Thanks as well to a few including Mike for some additional help restoring things properly (and all the others that offered help too - Michael, Matt, and Soera included)!

Thanks to everyone for their continued support and patience!

Thanks to Tripredacus for providing images for the updated badges for years you've been on VGCollect!

I was able to upload them so that they are now available for years past 10. They no longer show as a broken image icon.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying some good games!!
