How to search for a game?

It was so easy before...


Game sales here.

Game infos here.


Thanks.

But it's pretty lame that sales and info are separated. Oh well.

And that neither of them are directly accessible via gamerConnect, despite the fact that you manage your game collection via gamerConnect.  It makes adding new games quite annoying.

I strongly agree with this.

Fix the bug concerning ordered lists. Whenever I create one, it just turns to an unordered one when I submit my message.

I still can't upload screenshots in IE8 and Firefox 6...it's giving me a page with a 0 or an error page !? Also the boxart we upload seems to disappear from de database sometime. Finally i can't modify release dates if the status is at TBA.

thanks, hope this can be fix.

This is an issue with image size. 1280x720 images are definitely too big- I've tried.

The maximum really ought to be lifted.

WHERE IS MY KORORINPA 3

Final-Fan on 10 July 2010
  • Reposted from my earlier post, with updates: 
  • Major complaints
    • Where are my photo albums???  I am going to be really annoyed if they got blowed up without notice. 
    • The ban reason is apparently gone from banned users.  I consider this an extrememly valuable feature, which both informs users why people were banned and cuts down on complaints and questions of the banning mods. 
    • The Styles drop down box is broken, which means I cannot change typeface size. 
    • Post history is super annoying to navigate now, if you want to look at older posts.  This is because you cannot navigate more than one page forward/back AND you can't manually type in a page to jump to!  (AFAIK -- I tried copying in the link from Properties on the arrow and it wouldn't accept it.)  This is even worse than when the forums were like this because at least then there was a workaround!
    • Ditto the above for Wall history. 
    • Ditto the above for my message inbox and outbox. 
  • Minor complaints/suggestions
    • I would like a universal search option (Search the whole VGC Network, perhaps from the hub) instead of only being able to search within each zone. 
    • I really miss the "Add Friend" button that was under people's names along with "Send Message"
    • My message box only gets 10 per page now, I think it used to get more.  Could this be made adjustable like the forums?  Or simply increased?  I like the little preview I get now, though. 
    • There was a very neat "Wall to Wall" button that made it display all the Wall posts between you and the person who made the Wall comment you clicked the button on.  It seems to be gone. 
    • [edit:  as long as I'm making these, I might as well resurrect my old wish for the return of VGC1.0 style post history:  i.e. show the whole post, not just the first little bit of it sans formatting.  But I know I'm not likely to get this wish.] 
  • Aesthetic complaints/suggestions
    • why "gamr" when it could just be "vgReview, vgConnect, vgFeed"? 
    • OVERALL it feels like some social networking site now like Facebook or what have you.  Changing from timestamp to "x time ago", posts and other things are word bubbles now, the way my friends list looks, etc.  I don't like it and I especially don't like VGChartz turning itself into that.  I don't want to see it go that direction.  VGC is losing its personality IMO. 
    • The green text of names, links, pages etc. is a little too light, if it could be made more like the Points color looks that would be better IMO.  Except for my name on the left because it needs to be light there to counter the dark background.  Dark on Light, Light on Dark.  Not Light on Light. 
    • The background is really too white, I really think it would be better if it was the shade of the current shade of the post bubbles or the quote nests. 
    • WTF is that shiny thing doing in the corner of my avatar, and why does it cover HALF of my avatar on the Profile page?  Please remove it. 
    • The column width given to posts is considerably shorter than it used to be, by about 4.5cm.  (The smilies line in my sig used to all fit on one line with room to spare.  Also I still have a tab open of the old one as of this writing which I was anal enough to measure.  I measured space that was definitely actually usable by writing in both cases.  16.5cm vs. 21cm.) 


    • Tag (courtesy of fkusumot): "Please feel free -- nay, I encourage you -- to offer rebuttal."

    My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

    I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom!

    Let me say it right away ~ i hate it.

    Its Vgchartz as it was before, but parted into 4 different Sites. That makes it just much more complicated, and i think that will scare many many 'First-Time-Visitors' away. and seriously, some of the things, like the Graph for Sales of the Main Site, or the Forums are just looking pretty.. dunno.. unfriendly., unaccessable.

     

    gief back VGZ 2.0  :<



    I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

    Just installed FlashBlock & Addblock in my firefox thanks to annoyning flash adds with sound. The music will start as soon as i enter VGchartz, normally on flash add its off but not here. Anyway this way is better since site now load much quicker.

    Complicated? If anything, it's more simple. Besides which, the Hub page is pretty much the same as the 2.0 front page now.
