Here I was hoping to have some easy extra cash to go all in in the first rounds of the you-know-what :D

You are always welcome to enter more summaries!!

If you enter a mere 356 more summaries, you can earn yourself the highly treasured Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy badge for "1k Summaries Added"!!!!

 

GET TO WORK!!!!! :)

is that badge awarded within a year of reaching that milestone?

Come on, bud - give me just a little credit here! I've been working my ass off for you and everybody else around here...  ;)

...I fixed the badge updater so yes, badges are handed out on a daily basis now! I've also been working my way down the list and fixing other ones that are supposed to be handed out "real time" (new account, change avatar, etc.). Slowly but surely, I'll have them all working and will be adding new ones, too.

The summary ones, by the way, are brand new - we just created them a week or so ago, which is why you just got those.

did you check the recent badges below your avatar? last one is the 8 year account ( atleast for me )

Is there a way to preview summaries before sending them for approval? Just like the Banner screen. Then we can see if there is any issue with the coding. Sometimes developers sites have ads and other things that get stuck on or pictures are attached somehow.

Whilst not a fix it can be handy, If your on a PC/Laptop when adding the summaries dropping them into notepad can be a good idea and it's what I do as it fully removes all the formatting so no weird spacing/images or random font sizes exist and it leaves you with just the plain old text to paste into the Summary.

Can we please have the software sales split by regions even in the search results page like in the old database ? I found it extremely usefull, having review scores is handy too but I find the split sales to be more usefull, we could also keep both

You can already do that, just have those as part of the checklist.

Kinda confused on how to add a game to the currently playing tab.I dont know if this would be the place to ask this, so forgive me if there is a place already!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Visit the game's page in the database, scroll to the bottom of the page. Left hand side column > Community Stats > click the Add link for 'Owners' and then the Add link for 'Now Playing'.

There is none for Hollow Knight, which is the one I want to add.

From the Game DB page you click on the "Add" next to Now Playing but before you can do that it needs to be in added to your collection and to do that click on "Add" next to Owners.

and the other way is from the My Games tab just click on "Playing" and games it will turn green to show it's set as currently playing.

It needs to have a release date added to it so that the database knows it's been released.

Found a work around it.Enabled the wishlist option, then went to My Games, and enabled the Add option from there.Then finally was able to enable now Playing option.

But it has already been released on PC.Someone needs to add the PC as a platform on the database?
