@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.

- The "downloads to review" counter still shows a game that I've just reviewed.

What game did you review? And what is your definition of a review? Did you give a user rating, a comment, or both?
Sorry for the vagueness. I gave "Carnival of Shadows" a rating (2 cups) and a comment. But it was still present in my "Downloads to review" tab afterwards. It's not such a big deal since we can remove the reminders manually.
EDIT: I've just rated another game that I had recently downloaded and it worked this time - the game disappeared from the "download to review" tab.

- I was logged in when I wrote a review for Carnival of Shadows but the comment is credited to "UNKNOWN".

Fixed!
Thank you

- the right and left arrows don't work when you type a comment in a game page - but the up and down arrows operate.

Do you have a bit more information for me? What browser are you using? I just tried on Google Chrome Desktop and cannot reproduce it.
I use Google Chrome, but I also tried with Mozilla Firefox and got the same problem.
My computer runs on Windows 11 Family and I use a regular keyboard.

QuoteYour cursor is in the comment box and you want to move within the text you just typed?
Yes. I can click with the mouse to move the cursor within the box. However the left and right arrows of my keyboard don't move the cursor in the comment box.

I just went to leave a comment on a game in the database and noticed two things:

- you can't use arrow keys or shift-arrow-key to move your cursor in the text box... or I'm not able to, but only there.   (edit, just read the above comment, guess this is known).
- Comments now have to be 10 words...  this is new?

Good news: Jumping to the correct post now seems to work, thanks, this was really bothering me.

Bad news: clicking on a username now leads to the index page, not the profile. This has been working before (I was impressed that even usernames with spaces worked again)

I know bug hunting can be like that - fix one thing, break the other.

On the games page, Creamy's comment about Carnival of Shadows is listed as one of the last comments. He has a spoiler, and in the preview, it looks like the spoiler tag is ignored. On the page of the game, the spoiler tag works as usual.

This will be a marginal problem, but if someone was to use a spoiler tag very early in their comment, the spoiler would be shown on the preview page.

Oops! I thought we tested everything. It should be fixed now (including usernames with spaces). Let me know if you find anything else.

Yes, it's working now.

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.

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?

Doesn't save the changes though.  :confused:

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.

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!

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.

Thanks for fixing the links to (new) posts! :)
Also, submitting a new post took ages until recently, it's now much faster, great work!

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.

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.

I could download this using your link (the one on the game page), it just took a long while before responding. It looks like it's the same version that Pell uploaded on his itch page (in the MAGS thread)? At least the file sizes are the same.

Yeah, it is. Either way, it's probably best to get the download link off of google drive, and I'll be modifying it further.
