Are Polls Broken?

Yes 44 54.32%
 
No 12 14.81%
 
I Can't Count 25 30.86%
 
Total:81

Odd, First poll assumes 54 total votes, missing 6
Second assumes 567 total votes instead of 411
Third one assumes 2104 total votes instead of 1889

Does it maybe divide by the post count of those threads, including non voters?

Where's ioi when ya need him

He's busy with Gamewise sadly.. :-/

With the amount of ads displayed here, I'm sure the ad money is pretty good. Would be nice to hire a dedicated coder for the website and just fix all the issues we have right now :/

They should let me code on this site so I can fix some of these errors

Plenty of people have offered in the past. No one has succeeded yet, though.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

That would be pretty nice, but it would also take years!

How difficult would it be to get the accuracy right? -.-

My coding skills are definitely weaker than they once were, but I'd assume it's really simple, so why doesn't ioi fix it? :P

Alright, alright, that was a bit too harsh, I will admit but I do hope vgc fixes some of these issues

Well, ioi did say he could fix them in an hour

Are any of these things really serious issues? When I get a spare hour I can go through and get them all knocked off.

1. gaming networks aren't displayed in profiles
2. search function doesn't work
3. badges not being updated
4. gamedatabase linkage with gamewise being wonky
5. Adding ways to search all users ( for example an extra box to select or deselect users with profile pictures)
6. more analysis tools for free users ( gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6041612 )
7. No proper explanation for why we have embed, param and object tags, neither how use it.
8. No proper support for special characters on wall messages
9. No mobile version of the site
10. The "<" glitch that hides everything after it's posted
11. The PM glitch where if you post a ' in the title the user cannot respond to it.
12. Not necessarily a site glitch, but we should bring edit stamps back. These bring clarity on whether a user has edited his/her post.
13. Streamlining the forum by removing unnecessary points and badges or implementing a use for them (hint : prediction league)
14. Very annoying mobile adverts, and randomly opening play store
15. General discussion doesn't show up in the hot  topics.

TalonMan gave up a huge amount of his time to work on the site and develop new features and he is definitely missed - no doubt about that - but using the list of minor bugs above to say that VGChartz is in a "downfall" makes no sense. I'd love to have TalonMan or someone else I could trust who could work on fixing bugs and adding new functionality here and there but unfortunately that is hard to come by...

Of course, the time needed is obviously exaggerated. You'd need a team to get all that done within a month, especially the mobile site, lol

A hour? Hah, more like a month or even a year!
