Re: New site - bug reports
This must be the biggest bug of all - where's the entry for THE adventure, the one by William Crowther and Don Woods?

Re: New site - bug reports
Haha, good call. Is there anyone on this site who has ever played the original (not in emulated form, mind)? Mainframes aren't what they used to be 
But of course the game should be in the list. The trick is to keep track of the endless permutations of the game. So far I've just added Crowther & Woods' version.

Re: New site - bug reports
Something I missed during testing, as back then I had administrator privileges.
When submitting updates there does not seem to be any means that allows a standard member to view the updates that he has submitted. So unless you have an outstanding memory (or you are organised) it is very easy to lose track of what you have and have not submitted.

Re: New site - bug reports
I can make the personal submissions visible to the users in the same way they look on the internal overview fairly easily. They won't look very pretty, though. Jacob, you're ok with this?

Re: New site - bug reports
I don't mind, no.
Just keep in mind that the submission "mails" are deleted after their data has been entered into the system (or nixed), so unless you submit a heap of updates at the same time (or I'm way behind with the updating), any user's personal list of submissions shouldn't be very long.

Done (link in the top right box). Alastair, is this what you wanted?

Re: New site - bug reports
I've changed the info icon to be a few pixels smaller - hopefully that's better for most people.
Re: New site - bug reports
Why does the company "Nebula Designs Software" appear twice? Once at the top of the list, the other occasion where you expect it to be.

Re: New site - bug reports
"Nebula Designs Software" (id: 347) only appears once (under "N"). The one on top is " Nebula Designs Software" (id: 497). Whether there is any point to that distinction, I don't know. Each of them seems to have exactly one game attached.
Re: New site - bug reports
After some quick research, I cleaned this up and removed " Nebula Designs Software", moving the game to "Nebula Designs Software". There is a bug though: somehow a company got added that started with a space!

Re: New site - bug reports
Chances are this happened during the automated data import.
Re: New site - bug reports
What's with the frequent painful slowness of the site by the way...?
