I am sorry if this has been asked or it is written somewhere on the site but...

Does VGchartz has an active IRC channel or an official one that i don't know of??

Couple of minor quibbles from a "brand new to the site" guy:

- All forum posts have today's date and time on them, instead of the time they were posted. Makes it hard to find old/dead threads.
- Adding games to "My Games" is unnecessarily complicated. Have to click on the game's page and then scroll down to the innocuous "Community Stats" on the sidebar to add? Seems overly difficult; maybe just add a "Own/Track/Wish/Playing" button to wherever the game's title appears? Figured I'd be able to add games from the My Games button under Quick Links by my profile pic... nope!
- I like that the forums and main page keep the same username, but why not the store too?
- Dates are in dd/mm/yy format even in the U.S. Feels... weird. But they're not always. Confused!
- The Zoom on the boxart image in the upper left corner makes the boxes look just awful. A link to a hi-res image would be better.
- Can we get a "N/A" for sales numbers on Indie Games instead of "0.0 m"? Gotta be disheartening for the devs to see that they haven't sold a single copy when Microsoft is actually just not releasing sales numbers.

That's all for now. Diggin' the site and looking forward to pumpin' out some articles in the near future!

1) Someone else had that problem a while ago, but he was using IE.

2) Agreed.

3) The Store is completely separate from the main site, and it has credit card details and whatnot.

4) I agree, they should all be DD/MM/YYYY, or better, you should have the choice.

5) The box art is just meant to be at-a-glance, but I guess a hi-res one would be nice.

6) That would be good, yes. But how would it distinguish between "N/A" and "0.00M"? Perhaps games which are not released should have N/A?

Could somebody please fix the polls? I hate it how I have to pick one of the choices and then pick another one for it to register the vote and show me the current results. Then, I never know which choice it used as my vote. Somebody please fix this.



The website's background isn't static anymore (on my screen).
When I scroll down I get to the end of it and it repeats the background.
Someone messed up the CSS? :P

When we search for a game, can we have something like Giantbomb, where it'll automaticly pull up all the possible games, and gets narrower as you type in more? It's better if you just see:

http://www.giantbomb.com/

It'll also be nice if that allows you to add games through that.



PLEASE change the PS3 logo on the front page to the correct one. How long would it take?

Amazing... I was just about to bring this point up again



                            

Can the post count be corrected???

In this page (http://www.vgchartz.com/profiles/posthistory.php?posttype=All&id=52286) it says that I have 291 posts but in my profile it says 290.

This happens with a lot of users, check your recent forum activity and you will see.

It's not wrong. In your post history, it counts threads.
