That is a great beggining, thanks for the answer Machina. Hope it goes smooth.

Will we get HW updated similar as well?

Any long term estimative for when will we be about 1 week or less behind?

Yep, same with HW, but Will (TrunksWD) will be responsible for that.

One week is not possible - we don't get most of our data that early any more. Two weeks is the absolute best I could do, but would be provisional, and I'm not sure if it'd be a good idea to post that. Three weeks is when we get all our data in.

Once I can adjust I could conceivably go to two weeks, and then update the data when the rest comes in (much like Brett used to do in the early days) a week later, and then finally adjust whenever NPD/Chart Track etc. and publishers post their financial data.

Regardless it'll be a vast improvement on the current situation. To be honest I can't express how grateful I'll be to Talon for building an adjustment tool - I'll be able to keep game totals as accurate as possible, and am hoping to get the community involved in helping me source data to improve our figures. I can't wait.

I'm trully happy for this.

And sure being consistent on 3 weeks lead time is already great (our biggest issue isn't even how far back we are, is that we get like jumps from month to month that end most enthusiasm in discussing it).

Looking up to the 2 week behind with preliminary data and future corrections =]

Is it just me or are the hot topics broken? They are flooded with old-ish sales thread, mosz of wich I have poszed in, but they all appear like new threads to me (grey, not orange icon) and when I click on them and then go back to HP they are still grey.

TalonMan recently updated them:  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=232398

I like the filter idea in the Hot Topics section. That's neat.

If anyone notices any particular actions/pages slower (or broke) compared to prior to the update, please mention it here.

When you go here, what do the icons look like : http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/forums.php

 

Mostly grey, even on threads I've been in multiple times, with a few orange ones seemingly randomly scattered inbween. My hot topics seemed normal again a few hours ago and are back to behaving wierdly now.

Do  you need a screenshot or more details?

Anyways I'll have to read up on the the hot topics filters, that's really neat! (I have obviously not conciously set any filters, I had no idea that was a thing now.)

edit: Ok, part of the problem seems to be that my hot topic randomly revert to just the sales forum and filter everything else, without me specifically setting it that way, but that doesn't explain the incons I think?

Everything seems to be working fine for me. Site was slow during maintenance on weekend but running decent now.



Volterra_90 on 24 October 2017

Only problem I have now, is that sometimes, when there is nothing new in the thread, the icon is orange.

But the rest works fine for me.

Yup - I'm aware of this, and it's an old bug that's existed for quite some time. It's NOT related to the Hot Topics work - these icons are like on the forum pages, too. I haven't gotten around to figuring out why it's not right, but it's a separate issue...

Nice, I don't know why I've never noticed it then! I'll let you know if I encounter something else, but so far, so good.
