500: Internal Server Error
"It looks like something's gone wrong on our end. Sorry about that!
Please post on the Site & Forum Reports forum, giving as much detail as possible about what you were doing when the error occurred."


I've filled out the form for adding a new game and as far as I can tell all mandatory fields are filled. There are 3 images attached in .png format, 2 download links. Not really sure what I could provide that'd be more specific. I am still able to go back on my browser to find it all pre-filled out so I'm holding on to that page, but the "Save your game" button sends me instantly to the error page.

EDIT: I followed those handy notifications to try and rate some of the games I've played and it seems adding ratings also doesn't work. The button just doesn't do anything, so perhaps that is related as well. Noting the observation here just in case.

Your game's been added a billion times: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/play/search/&q=account-no-filter:checked;newest-releases:checked.

Wow, that's... not great, I will stop tinkering with the page now so it doesn't happen anymore. The error message had me thinking nothing had been submitted and I had no idea I was screwing up this badly.
Sorry.

EDIT: I took a look and it seems the images have not been added, so maybe the issue was related to those, though I'm just guessing. I won't touch any of those right now. At a glance it seems I am not able to delete the extra copies myself, so I'll wait for some guidance on how to clear them out so that only the one copy remains and then I can try to add the missing images to it later on.

I disabled the extra entries for you.

Much appreciated! I was also now able to add the missing images via editing the remaining entry.

I added a load of extra protections to make image uploads as bulletproof as possible, but apparently it didn't work!

If nothing else, let me reword the error page to say something like "please check to see if your game was actually added", hopefully that'll help while I work on the image processing.
