Thanks Gilgamesh and nordlead. The report game function is exactly what I wanted; I didn't realize that it could be used for things like this (I figured it was just to report fake games, etc.)

no, the report is for anything. It gives us a link straight to the game, and then we can read your comments. So it is great for bad images/boxarts, or any other issue.

This may not be the place for this either, but I was wondering if we could have an option to filter by generation and not just individual console.

posting on a game wall does no good. However, if you use the "report game" option and provide good links and spell out exactly the problem, then the game db admins can determine if it is worth passing on to ioi. If you did it more than a few months ago, then we ended up just deleting them as we couldn't pass them on before.

or, you could just pm him directly.

^If there are dates wrong you can change them yourselve you don't have to leave it all up to the GDB admins to do all the work. There's 25,000 games in the database you can't expect everyone of them to have all correct info, there's bound to be mistakes.

@Cactus, I'll change the dates after I check everything over

LLlliiiiieeeeeeessss! We all know that this site is run by Aliens who don't make mistakes and are monitoring us to take the survivors of the upcoming fanboy worldwide war with them to their home planet!!!

While you awesome database gents are discussing this, can I humbly request that you add the Virtual Boy to the database? It's only got 22 games total, and only 14 in North America, so its whole game collection would get filled out pretty quickly. I want to add the couple that I have to my profile to show off how awesome I am.

Only TalonMan or ioi can add a new platform to the database and they're not adding any at the moment. My guess is VG Chartz 2.0 will include a bunch of new consoles into the database, so we'll just have to wait and see.

OK, another problem.


I just added Secret Files 2 to my game collection.

 

Currently the only box art that exists is the PAL one, since that is only place it is released I believe.

 

However when I look at my games profile the box art image does not display.  I tried going to the games page and clicking the image (on other games this puts a red border around the image...not on this game) but it doesn't change anything.

 

Any way to fix the problem?

upload a temp boxart for US or the back of the boxart for PAL, and then click the front PAL boxart.

I'm hoping a lot of our boxart issues are fixed with 2.0 as they have always irritated me. Ever since we changed to the multiple boxarts, the worldwide charts have not worked properly and no boxarts display.

The red frame only appears if there's more than one boxart to choose from.
However. I just added Secret Files 2 to my collection and it shows up.
If you delete it from your collection and re-add it the problem should be fixed.

I clicked on the boxart & the problem you described occured.
So if there's only one boxart & you click it, it appears as if it's broken.
