Is it possible to view the worldwide million seller list how it used to be? The pictures are nice, but I really, really, really, really preferred a much longer list where the console was displayed more prominently.
I know you don't want to just go back to the old version, but could you allow us to use the one we prefer?

Similarly, the convention of using the America name for this is what I want to keep. You can order by whatever you want to, it depends how you get to the page on what order things are in. |
Couldn't that be done based on a unique identifier (rowguid) or an identity field instead of a varchar value?
This will take some getting used to. Frankly, if a game doesn't have a summary (which 99% of games don't), it looks awfully fugly.
Also, ioi switched the position of the Japanese and American charts! I actually think it looks better.
It just looks a bit empty compared to before, it will take some getting used to for me.
I wouldn't count on numbers this week at all, since we're anticipating a huge site migration.

The Greatest Game Ever Conceived On Any Platform
Tag: "I have tasted Obi-Wan's bitter tears"
I love the new layout myself, makes my obsession of looking at upcoming million sellers infinitely easier, and it's a lot cleaner.
Note: Some games in my collection are no longer owned, but have owned.
I have a question. Is there a text limit for adding reviews and walkthroughs? The only walkthrough that I've seen uploaded was by you and it seems to be cut short. Also, can we edit a review after putting it up.
Some suggestions
1. An icon indicating that we've voted for a game
2. A page system for screenshots so they won't take up too much of the page, but not limit the amount that can be added.
| ioi said: Such as? If I add a new game to my charts how does it know which database entry to update the sales data into? Only by name and console. |
I guess I don't know how your database is setup. It looks like you have an id field in the games table. Depending on your other tables, you might be able to do the joins based on the id, and then the name doesn't matter.
I haven't worked with php/MySQL. I'm a .NET/SQL2005 developer.
