News / Re: UPDATE - Anniversary Badges Launched / Fixed Edit Badges

I've found that the 250 edits badge isn't showing up either Though it's cool that now you can actually see the number of edits you've submitted in your stats!

Would you mind checking if the 250 Edits badge and the 100 Collection badges are working now? It should be fixed. :-)

Thanks,

Jason

I've updated the collection badges. For now I decided to make the badge include games, digital games. I can always change it if the consensus is to include all items. Thoughts?

I'm sorry about the random issues you all are having with some games not working properly in the search. We've found a way that should alleviate the issues with specific games not showing up. I hope we can get this rolled out very soon. Thank you all for your patience and support.

Site Feedback / Re: Search by Barcode (EAN)

« on: September 21, 2016, 12:08:56 am »

I see that BARCODE is now in the advanced search.

However, ITEM NAME is a required field so I cannot search by barcode alone?

For games with a space in the title, I can put a space in the title field but otherwise I am out of luck.

This is annoying as I also want to use a barcode scanner (app).

Any chance this can be fixed?

Cheers, great site, great service!

I'm looking into fixing this so that the name field isn't required. Hopefully I can get this in the next site update.

Whats the difference between normal view, and "NEW" normal view... is that like super mario bros? LOL 

It's really just the old version of the the normal view, the updated version of the normal view, and the self view that are available. I should probably just have the two for consistency.

It goes to a 404 page.

There are no items in the category.

But you are right, categories should not say 404. If they are empty, we should have a page saying no items have been added or approved yet.

I'm adding this to my to do list.

Thanks for all the additions, Jason! Should the new ratings have (South Korea) next to them like the other ratings so people know what games they apply to?

Thanks for catching that. I've fixed that now.

News / Re: UPDATE - New Advanced Search filters, and Import Collection

« on: September 06, 2016, 07:25:19 pm »

This is much appreciated but a search by barcode without being forced to provide a title would be even more useful.

I'll try to look at adding this to an upcoming release. Thanks for the feedback!

Site Feedback / Re: Bulk Collection Edit

« on: August 30, 2016, 06:57:48 pm »

Is there a way to bulk edit the Cart/Disk/Item, Case/Box, Manual, and Other checkboxes? The 'Add to Collection' button from browse defaults those to unchecked, but the 'Add to Collection' button from individual titles screen defaults those to checked. I'd like to set all in my collection to checked. Thanks

Would it help to default the 'Add to Collection' button from browse to checked (instead of unchecked) for consistency?
