Matt's ToDo List

[jeffsgames]

No sweat.  I like what I see so far!  Great work!

[epicede]

I have a simple request.. Is there a way to make wishlists exportable as well? I usually like to do up a little wishlist with average prices on ebay in an excel list for local shopping comparisons.

[matt]

Definitely. I'll get this added sometime this week.

[matt]

@epicede I've added this feature to the bottom of the settings page.

[matt]

I updated/stickied/added a few items to the list.

Nice to see an official list. Thanks matt. I'm sure you probably already know but the features i'd like to see more than anything are:

• View collection/games by alpha
• mobile site
• developers group

Keep up the good work.

Hey Bugs!

Thanks for the suggestions.

1. coming really soon
2. http://mobile.vgcollect.com just went live last week.
3. hmm. all development at this point is internal although I do have an API that I'm working. May open that up. Not sure yet.

Whoops. I knew you said you were working on the mobile version. I havn't checked the forum in a while. I must of missed that news. As always, great work here.

I figured that I might as well make a public to-do list so you guys can see what updates and additions we have planned. I'll be adding and editing this as things come up.

• Custom user lists - this will allow users to create custom lists within their collections
• Add sub-genres (finally!)
• Add alt-title field to all items
• Allow for larger images
• Consolidate collection badges
• Add forum activity badges
• Add submission badges
• Fix bugs on stats page
• Fix recently added on stats page
• Make sure that private notes are actually private
• Modify item description field to something else so it gets used properly
• Android App update
• "Add to wishlist" button at the bottom of search results and browse pages.
• Clean up developers and publishers
• Allow for multiple developers and publishers
• Edit collection info from the game listing page
• Update stats page to include user submissions and edits
• Updated Advanced Search page with more filters
• Compare collections
• View collection/games by alpha

Feel free to comment on any of these. Thanks!

Not sure if others would agree, but I think hardware and games would be better together in a category would be better for organization of games and equipment. Here are examples.

NES- Hardware
         Games
Rather then
NES hardware
Sega Hardware
NES Games
Sega Games.

Or

Nintendo  -Hardware   -Nintendo
                                    -Super Nintendo
                                    -Nintendo 64
                   
                   -Games      -Nintendo
                                     -Super Nintendo
                                     -Nintendo 64
Just my two cents. Anyways this is my first post... So, thanks for the site. It's great! I tell people about it whenever i can.

Batch edit so I don't have to click on every game individually to add in details like Case/Box, Manual, notes, etc.

I'd like for multicarts and homebrew games to be on their own section. Like:
NES [ BR] (space because it'll break otherwise)
NES [CA]
NES [EU]
NES [Homebrew]
NES [US]

Same goes for all systems. I hate browsing through the list and seeing "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "1000 in 1" on the list.

Also, you know what else would be neat? The ability to select a random game in the entire database, select a random game from a specific console in the database, select a random game from a collection, and select a random game from a specific console in a collection. Because when I can't think of a game to play, I'd like to be able to pick one at random.

New server has been purchased! I spent all last night setting up things and testing out the environment. We are probably going to do the move next week.

Well, Hell - there's just no denying it, Matt...you obviously dedicate yourself to putting a *TON* of time, effort, work, and care & improvements/up-grades to this site...you've (just in the relatively short amount of time that I've been here) done plenty of things to make/keep the site accessible; while, at the same time, continuously doing things to better this site.

I think that it's important enough to say...and, that it's also important enough for you to hear that; *IMO* -
one of the things that I like the most about this site is how in-touch you (and the other 'helpers'/'staff'/"admins") here are to the rest of the community at large.

I'm talking about how easy it is to not only *Contact* all of you guys (shit, you can do this at pretty much any & all sites), but, *SO VERY, VERY MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY*...To be able to count-on & expect to consistently receive the replies & answers to our questions

Also, well-worth stating, is the excellent job that all of you do concerning making the over-all tone & feel of this site one of "The staff here are community members just like the rest of us" vs. (the tone & feel that I get from the majority of the other gaming-related sites out there) of either A)."There's the *Staff*, and then, there's the "rest" of the community, or, even worse (yet, sadly, not at all uncommon):
B)."There's the Community *VERSUS* The Staff...

I dunno...I guess that I was just feeling that a bit of recognition, acknowledgement & appreciation for the results of the work & efforts you all put into the site were in order 

Regarding the changing of the servers...

How will the change/affect us as individual users here *AND*, what (if anything) will switching to this new server change and/or improve for the site as a whole?

I concur on the love from disgaeniac!
