What about release dates for really old games? Sometimes it is only possible to find a month and year, or even just a year. What is the protocol on that?

crap. I knew I left something important out. I'll update this later when I get home.

Oilist brung up a good point which you already addressed. So there's going to be an action/adventure category? Good because I obviously haven't played most of the games listed as both and it's just really a stab in the dark most times.

theRepublic beat me to it. I have been using 1/1/? if I only have a year and 1 for the day if I only have the month and year.

Maybe a delete publisher option will rear it's head just to have the option for DBAdmin. On the subject of publishers. For accuracy reasons is sce sufficient or should Scee, ea and ej be separate?

I don't know if I can get the PSN boxarts at 500x500 without resizing which will make them look terrible. On average i'd guess mines are usually 110x110.

Is there a known maximum for screenshots? As a few times i've had to resize images over 1000x1000.

The layout looks fine and the important stuff was covered. The only thing I could bring up really is the missing s in unless under boxarts and it's not important. Your post should really be linked to on the 'Add Game' page and under 'Edit Game' on all game pages.




Are the "black-only" still enforced for the summaries? I was told that was the rule when it comes to text color, that it should be black only.

Edit: I mean white. 

And I think it's best to add that Notepad can fix irregular fonts when being pasted in the summary box.



This may the wrong place to ask, but can we make it so when we add a new game it gives us more fields? If you were to add a game. It would have all the fields that are on the game page itself, but only the Name,Dev, Platform, and Genre are mandatory.

If you don't mind, could you repaste these rules to the forums page, or something?

this is under website discussion, which is where it belongs for now. We could make a special page like the forum rules. I'll see about working that in once the next round of upgrades go through as there really isn't anywhere convenient to stick this in the title bar.
