Site Remake - Release Candidate 2 (Patreon)

It's time for another release candidate and a bevy of small improvements!

Also, a big thank you to the always helpful DanOWar for turbo-charging the database converter to finish in a fraction of the time. There will be much less downtime on the big day thanks to him!

==============================================

🚨 IMPORTANT NOTE:  the test server (backloggery.club) is still just temporary. No data on it will be saved. Any changes you make there should be purely for testing purposes.

==============================================

🚨 IMPORTANT NOTE II:  If you would prefer your game comments to be converted into Reviews instead of becoming part of the expanded game notes field, change your backloggery.com footer text to "Reviewer" without the quotes.

==============================================

If you missed RC1, read on. If not, you can skip on down to the patch notes below. ️⏬

You can help ensure everything is in order by going to backloggery.club and logging in (using the same username/password as backloggery.com) and taking a look around. Remember, it's not going to be a one-to-one comparison as a lot of things have changed. 

Here's some things to keep in mind:

• Your backlog stats might be different. Unplayed and Unfinished are now completely separate statuses. Null has become None. There's a new Endless status. Mastered is no more, games marked Mastered have been converted to Complete and put in a List. Compilations now have their own entries but shouldn't be counted in totals if marked as None. Please look closely and double-check things are really wrong before reporting an error in totals or a missing game.
  

• Several platforms have been changed. Some names were updated, some were merged, some were split, some are new. More detailed info is here.  If you don't like how some platform conversions were made (ie don't put my PSN games under PS4), it's not too late to update them on backloggery.com. (ie if you list your PSN games as PS3 with PSN as the original system, they will be converted over as PS3 games and marked as digital when the remake launches)
  

• The database was copied at 3:20pm ET on March 18. Any changes you've made after that won't be reflected in this test.
  

• You can find more details on potential data changes in the original data migration post here.
  

• Reminder: Your avatar, banner, page colors, comments, and PMs won't be coming over.  Please manually save them if you care to.
