Jason Carr Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Hey all, we've been working behind the scenes on significant updates to the LaunchBox Games Database website. Most of the changes we've been working on are backend things that will allow us to better develop new features in the future, but there are some changes and fixes that you should notice with this update: Slightly better search results Much faster search Better URLs and SEO Slightly better performance all around Slightly better performance with moderation (though it can be better yet and we're still working on it) Fixed all known issues with data not updating after approved (such as game and image deletions not working, etc.) Fixed all known issues with duplicate games being added Thanks for bearing with us on some of these issues, as I know some of them have been around for a long time, such as the deletion bugs. As a moderator or contributor, if you are used to doing anything special as the result of these previous bugs, please refrain from doing those things in the future. Generally, we don't want workarounds like that at all, and especially not now that the issues are fixed. If you run into any new or additional bugs, please let us know in this thread. We've tested this build to the moon and back, so we're rather confident in it, but we also changed a lot of code, so it's possible that there might be something we missed somewhere or other. We can use this thread to discuss any remaining issues. However, let's not discuss feature requests here, please. Now that we've finally updated the website to the latest technologies and fixed the issues, we're very excited to add new features. We also have a complete re-theme coming here very soon. Thanks all! 4 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to wait the update is completed? That's probably because your email was never verified. Please use the forgot password tool, which will send you an email, and get you all squared away.

Jason Carr Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 I've updated the site to no longer require email verification for existing accounts, so we should be good to go on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewClassics Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Tried moderating a couple. It worked well for a minute or two, now it seems to be hanging up on each entry and I have to reload the page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked well for a minute or two, now it seems to be hanging up on each entry and I have to reload the page Moderation does still take a bit sometimes. It's best to wait it out and not refresh the page. We're working on improving the performance there. It's not hung up though. Edit: Apologies, I should clarify. I don't *think* it's getting hung up, but I could be wrong. It's also possible that there are some issues that remain from the previous moderation queue that came in before we fixed the issues in this update, so that could also be the cause.

Jason Carr Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 In fact, I am seeing some moderation delays that are much longer than expected. I'll be diving into this tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 Alright, the moderation performance issues should be fixed. From what I'm seeing, things seem to be the fastest we've ever had for moderation performance. Let me know if anyone sees any additional issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhrvivor Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) There's a loose semicolon in the website, most noticeable when using a dark theme (via extensions), here's how it looks on dark and normal theme: (It's below "Manage Collections") Edited March 2, 2023 by Suhrvivor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is an issue with how the regions are displayed (using the key instead of the name), not with how the submissions are working. I'll get that fixed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daygoshen Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 the "REMOVE" option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 @Prince Unfortunately I had to delete your comment. It was not your fault at all. RULLUR, who's since been banned, changed his name to something vulgar and then liked the post, and unfortunately that was the only way to remove the vulgarity from the forums. I understand your issue though. How many pages of entries did you used to have in your Changes Status? Edit: Also, what is your gamer tag on the games database?

The My Collection features have never really been fleshed out very well, mostly because they were not popular back when that feature was built years and years ago. Regardless, I should hopefully be able to add that here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
