Hi everyone thanks to @Jason Carr the database website has never been so fast for submitting material and moderating other peoples content . However that being said it seems nobody whatsoever is doing their part to do the moderating i have 60 pages that need to be approved rejected etc and some of these have been waiting for quite some time I.e ( Proposed 2018-01-31 @ 5:20 PM) > I feel we all need to do out bit on the moderating side of things as it is pointless to keep adding and adding without doing so, all that will happen is we will end up having loads of duplicates to remove and the hard work everyone is putting in will be a waste of time Your Changes Total Submitted Changes 28259 Total Pending Changes 9089 Total Approved Changes 26977 Total Rejected Changes 130 Your Moderations Total Moderations 180175 Total Approvals 177821 Total Rejections 2354 as you can see i am not moaning about the moderating and not bothering about doing it myself i just wish others would make some effort as well

Hi all i have given the zx spectrum database a overhaul (logos screenshots etc) if anyone would like to help me with getting some fan art background feel free to do so as i have not got a clue what to put on when it comes to backgrounds

Wow what a difference in moderating well done @Jason Carr bed last night with 55 pages to be approved etc and when i woke up i had only 1 page left

Hi there just lately there does not seem to be to much interest in people wanting to moderate submissions and we seem to be getting a backlog , i have 54 pages that need approving/rejecting so i was wondering if you could either make an award scheme for moderating I.E a medal or a arcade character next to a users name for modding a certain amount ( 500 = pacman 1000 = mario etc ) or maybe after we have submitted a certain amount of artwork etc it automatically opens the moderation page where we have to moderate say 5 or so submissions before we can add any more The reason i say this is because things are taking so long to approve that others are adding the same artwork and then we are ending up with 2 lots of the same submissions and then have to spend the time to delete one of them

fanart background?

i have been moderating today and i have got the " Yay! The moderation queue is empty! Good jorb!" but the counter is still showing about 500 i allways moderate and submit art data etc at the same time so it pushes my submissions up the list a bit saying that i still have about 50 pages that need approving

i have managed to find quite a few spectrum game clear logos which i have replaced with some of the poor quality ones i hope they are ok

it would also be great if art submitters shared with the forum where they get their art from or what tools they use then we might see some better art being submitted

have to agree that some of the spectrum images really need to be replaced , i have replaced some of the clear logos i have seen on multi platform games that have better images but would have been nice to have a lot more replaced

hi if you zip them and upload to the downloads i will spend the time to change them on the database

Hi i was wondering if this idea would be possible as it would make adding art to the database easier as you would be able to see exactly what art is missing for each game

i am getting the same error also Input string was not in a correct format.

Hi there launchbox and big box just gets better and better with every update however i was wondering how i can remove the platform banners on big box , before the last beta update i could make a txt doc and rename it to jpg to stop it from showing but now i cannot get permission to replace the banner image any help on this would be great

hi @Vlansix i am not sure how to to find the issue to vote on it if you could point me in the right direction i would be very grateful

it is also not working on launbox as well

Hi all i am not sure if it is just me but everytime i try to go on the database i get an error HTTP Error 503 ...

Im not sure if this has been mentioned already but it would be great to have a new field for fruit machines like you have for pinball machines as it would also help to keep the arcade game looking organised and tidy

yay peace has been restored to the galaxy

yes but i was meaning updating the database itself would be easier if fruit machines had their own menu like the pinball

if anyone has tried to sort out the arcade games menu will know it is a bit of a jungle in there , i would feel if you made a sub menu for the fruit machines it would make things a lot better

Ee bah gum i only posted a comment saying the modderation has slowed off a bit and now i have unwittingly generated a riot quick bring in crowd control and the water cannons lol

ahhhh mr bond good to hear from you again mate i will look forward to seeing a flood of new speccy games that need a 3d makeover yes it it sad about brad but what is worse is that launchbox seems to have gone very quiet ( no news vids or dev vids on you tube no tutorials NOTHING ) all seems strange

yes agreed it is sad about brad being fired but we all have to agree this is a brilliant emulator front end and it is worth the effort to build the database up although i do agree with @FistyDollars that you do see the same old things getting added and ten removed and then added over and over. I have relly noticed a big slow down on the modding as of now i have 1005 submissions awaiting rejection or approval and would very much seem to have been like this since brad was let go . Im sure the launchbox team believe they had their reasons ( which they may or may not want to go into with any of us lot) but i do think it would be nice for them to make a statment about this if just to clear up all the bad feeling surround their decision on brad ( well that my opinion anyway)

Is it me or does it seem that fewer people are moderating on the database in the last couple of days it is possible that moderators are on thier holidays etc but just thought it was worth mentioning

thanks anyway mate i have upped and few 3d boxes of about 3 sizes and they seem to be ok as i am not getting rejections on them
