Do we know what caused all this in the first place? Was it a cybersecurity incident? Was it just a random software or hardware fault on the hosting server(s)? Was it a corrupted or compromised DB? Was it a whoopsie made by one of the admins? I guess I mostly want to know if any user account info was compromised. I particularly am concerns about my password since I use it elsewhere too.

The server filled up and caused an outage. Then we had some subsequent data loss but have mostly gotten back to normal. This was not an attack or anything and I take responsibility for allowing the failings to occur.

Are we to understand some images may be lost for good?

This pending restoration has completed

Nothing is for good. Some were "lost" but were archived and are pending restoration. This restoration will not be complete. After it is confirmed to have been done, however, we will work on checking entries and replacing the images if we can. This work isn't limited to just Mod DBs, anyone can do it BUT don't bother to do any until AFTER the archive restoration is done, to save wasting effort. I estimate that there will be at least 5k entries with a broken image for front box art after the restoration.

Fixed the Edit Item Image upload issues

When do you estimate the site to be fully fixed. allot of images don't seem to function

This may take some time to restore the remaining images. We've also backed up the images we still have in two separate places.

Most Sold

Well, items which have been added to the Sell List. I would assume that any items added to this list have not yet been sold—that's how I treat the list, anyway.

Site Feedback / Re: Implementation of Special Announcements Upon Log-in

« on: November 18, 2023, 08:57:55 am »

Just like the title says. There should be a system implemented on the website that causes an announcement to pop up whenever users log in, specifically during special occasion, like whenever there are polls taking place on the forums that intend to make any type of change to the website. Based on the various polls that have taken place on the forums in the past that concern the Style Guide, the participation was abysmally low and in no way representative of the number of users the website as a whole actually has. The announcement would be a way to not only bring attention to the users, but also stir interest in the goings-on of the website they're using, the forums themselves, and to also help diversify the discussion and vote results. I think it would be great to see other people joining the fold and voicing their opinions, and believe what I'm proposing is simple enough to help on this front; after all, VGCollect isn't just the few of us that keep participating on the forums.

EDIT: If this has already been suggested, then move along...

Thank you for the suggestion!

Site Feedback / Re: Feature requests: Duplicate entry & collection folders

« on: November 09, 2023, 06:29:24 pm »

I've just started using VGCollect, after being a Discogs user for my music for some time.  Two things I find very handy over there could really improve things here.

First, a duplicate entry button.  While putting together my collection on here, I've run into a few things I've got on (for example) both Steam and Epic, but there's only a Steam entry in the database.  On Discogs, there's a link to duplicate an entry, which populates the new submission form with all the existing information so I don't need to re-enter all the credits, just change the necessary differences and submit the new entry.  For the case where a Steam game gets released on Epic, or vice versa, a quick way to just change the platform and add the new entry without having to copy-paste every other field would be a great feature.

Second, a user-creatable categorization for their collection.  Discogs calls this "folders".  I'd just like to be able to group items in my collection as I see fit.  Maybe its a group for items I've lent out to friends.  Or a group for things that I bought through Humble bundles.  Or grouping things based on which member of my family actually owns it.  Just want me some user-creatable grouping options.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for the feedback, goosezen!
