Those are both the same issue, just represented differently by your browsers.  I've uploaded something that will hopefully fix it.  If it continues to go wrong, you should get an obvious popup on your screen.

Please be sure to hard refresh the game's page screen with CTRL+SHIFT+R before retrying to ensure the JavaScript is reloaded.

I'm not sure what's happening here.  @EmmaGundersen following the steps you did in your video succeeds for me!  Could @Kara Jo Kalinowski and @EmmaGundersen please both try again, with the web developer console open?  Press F12 and click the Console tab.  Then click the delete icon immediately before trying to use the form.  This will give us feedback from JavaScript, which is the only remaining cause I can think of here.  Please paste any output from the console here.

Thank you, that gives me something to work with!  I'll let you know when I've got a fix ready.

With the new site, I uploaded a game yesterday, and I wanted to link to my google drive in the downloads, and it works from my PC where I am logged in, but both from my phone and from the person's computer that was helping me, the download link doesn't work (I think it's expecting a direct link to the zip and thus the redirect isn't working?). I also want to edit my submission, but clicking save isn't saving my edits.

Here's a video. I'm just trying to replace one .png with another and it won't let me save, but the same goes for any other kind of changes, even editing the description.

Just a very minor issue: the title attributes of the little "I can help with X" images below the avatars contain the default texts, not the ones entered by the user. You have to open their profile to see those.

The idea was more to explain what the icons represent.  Look again, I've changed to a middle ground which combines the title with the custom text.

That's definitely still true since my post late last night?  Can you please tell me here or in a private message exactly what you're trying to change?

This was about an hour ago. I tried:

• Updating the link to the game's website
• Adding a link to the completed game announcement
• Removing a screenshot to add another one

I don't think it really matters what the changes are, the problem for me is that the Save Your Game button doesn't do anything.

Which game is this?  And can you please let me know exactly what it is you're trying to enter?  Including the actual image file, ideally.  Bear in mind this has been tested extensively during development, so apparently something unexpected is happening!

The Actions menu under the image gallery should give you an Edit Game link?

Doesn't save the changes though. 

Doesn't really matter at the moment, since I just wanted to tweak the title a bit.

I'm having the same issue! I can edit but I can't save the changes.

I tried changing the title of your game, and it actually seems to have worked.  For some reason it's showing a blank screen, but if you then go back to the game's page and refresh the change seems to have prevailed?

Would you mind trying again please? The unexpected slowness of the site may have caused a time-out. If it still happens, can you please let me know what game you're trying to edit? And what fields you're trying to update? Can you maybe include a screenshot? That'll all help me finding the cause.

Hi. Just tried again, but still no luck. All I'm trying to do is change the title from "Bière Américaine" to "Bière Américaine (MAGS)"  I change the text in the title box, click "Save" but nothing happens. It's not a big issue, really, I just like to flag my MAGS games as such, so people have more reasonable expectations about the game they're about to play.

Well...  There's clearly a bug here, which I'll look into.  However, we're hoping to get away from the habit people have of putting extraneous details like type of game, version number etc in the title of their game.  There's also a separate MAGS field after all, and the 'Description' field on the downloads could be used for version information.  Having stuff like that in the titles makes things quite complicated when you have 2,000+ games in the database the way we do.

@tampie85 has possibly fixed all the forums-specific issues now.  Please let us know if there's any links remaining that don't behave as expected.

Well done to @tampie85, who's managed to optimise a database query I wrote that was causing pages on the main site to load far more slowly than expected.  Pages seem to load almost instantly now, as expected!

@tampie85 and I at least are fine with the US.  And @Privateer Puddin' and @Snarky also seem to be flexible?  If we also include @edmundito, @Disco and @Grundislav (who've either voted for US or expressed an interest) that's a fair bit of interest in the US.

Would anyone else be interested in attending if we had Mittens somewhere in the US?  Tagging North American previous Mitteners: @Baron @Darth Mandarb @Dave Gilbert @ddq @Quintaros @scotch @Scummbuddy @tzachs

As well as last year's attendees for courtesy, @Creamy @Matt Frith @Mr Jake

I see the "Actions" button, but it only allows me to report a link as broken.

Try now?

When talking about links, could you all please be sure to include an example URL?  There's presumably some gaps in the rewrite logic, but I'll need some solid examples to dig into.

I've applied some new rewrite rules that *may* help.  Board pagination seems to be fixed at least, but please check any forums weirdness reported in this thread to see if it's also fixed!

All the forums weirdness seems to due to the "pretty" URL rewrites not being quite correct.  I'll fix them as soon as I can!

Doesn't save the changes though.

What does not saving the changes entail?  Do you get any error messages?  Or does it give a success message but without actually saving?

It should be updated in both places now to your "Laura Hunt" username

Sorry, looks like I spoke too soon. My awards nomination page still shows the old username for some reason.

Hopefully fixed now?  Should be correct in the header, game credits, and Awards nominations?

The new site is very impressive. I especially like the new games database.

Just one question: How do I edit a game's page in the database if I want to make some changes? I just uploaded my MAGS game and I can't see a way to edit the page now.

Thanks for putting all this work into the new site!

The smiley bar in the reply window is broken, both quick reply and regular:



I'm using Firefox Desktop

Fixed!

Could you give some definite examples, please?  "Sometimes" is unfortunately not very helpful...  I do notice that the links to individual posts aren't being rewritten the way they should; they appear as "https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?msg=636668906" instead of "https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/site-forum-reports/new-ags-site-release/msg636668906/#msg636668906".
