I have similar issues posting on my mother's laptop when using Internet Explorer, and this seems to fix it.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

I know what would help it, remember when data came in and you could view all the games, by publisher and games that arent in the top 40 you could find and all that, remember when people liked that?

Then the site got greedy by introducing the vgchartz pro thing which nobody had any interest in whatsoever and spoilt it for the thousands who came here for the data, yeah go back to the way the site was before it got greedy and selfish i think that would help.

How long will it take people to realize that businesses need to make money.  Brett had the opportunity to bring in more money, so he took advantage of it.  Just give it up.

Yet it seemed to manage fine the several years beforehand, i cant see much money being made off of it, people outside this site thing the numbers are just made up anyway and it went and ruined it for the many people who actually did think they were accurate.

Did it?  Have you seen the yearly financial statements for the company prior to vgchartz pro?  If you weren't aware, a LOT of companies lose money in their first several years of business.  Just because the website remained active doesn't mean Brett was making money on the website.

They can go ahead and think the numbers are made up, the simple truth is that this is one of the more reliable video game sales tracking sites out there.  I REALLY don't understand how having vgchartz pro makes the info seem less accurate.  If anything, it shows quite clearly that there is a market for in depth analysis using the numbers from vgchartz.  If people are willing to pay thousands of dollars to have the best look at the vgchartz numbers, I'm pretty sure people are using these numbers knowing that they are very accurate.

It sounds like current users will be duplicated onto both sites. For those of us who had Photo Album pictures back when that feature was available, are we ever going to get them back on either or both sites?

Im sure its reliable but theres no denying that pretty much everyone who doesnt use this site who knows of it thinks the site is a bit of a joke, even wikipedia wont use vgchartz because they dont think theyre reliable. I never said Pro makes it less accurate (dunno where you got that from)  it just ruined it for many, instead of being able to see what your favourite games where selling and pretty much any game and how you could view the Top 50 by console now you cant it limited it incredibly out of greed.

Nobody trusts this site enough to spend money on their data.

I am sure you have a source for the information that VGC Pro has no (or few) subscribers.
