Site Remake - Release Candidate 4 (Patreon)

Good news! The last release candidate had no serious new bugs found in the database conversion, so this will be the last RC before the new site launches! (Barring some unforeseen discovery, of course)

In the meantime, while I was waiting to see if anything new popped up, I've been implementing some improvements based on user feedback. You can find those listed below.

Data in the remake demo was copied from backloggery.com at 1:15PM ET on April 26.

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

Some quick things of note:

• I once again highly recommend updating your systems if needed, as noted in the data migration posts linked below. >>>Especially if you're using PSN as a main system for any games.<<< Updating games from PSN to PS3 (PSN), for example, will keep your PSN games from being potentially converted to the wrong PlayStation system.

• 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.

• It'll still be a week or two before the site remake officially launches so I can get all my ducks in a row. Feel free to test more and report anything you find in the meantime, especially potential database conversion issues.

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

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

RC4 Patch Notes

Improvements

• Games can now display whether they are physical or digital. Physical icons broadly match (cartridge, disc, card, etc.) the platform.

• Added options under the Library tab to choose some defaults and display preferences, including default Sorting, options to group by format or sub-platform, whether sub-platforms should be counted when filtering by platform, and an option to hide the new format icons.

• Tweaked platform icons for better spacing when displayed alongside a sub-platform

• Status bar breakdown in the Library tab is now clickable

• Filter summaries (i.e. Filtered by: 3 platforms 2 statuses) now each have a clickable X to quickly dismiss each category individually.

• The notification bell now links directly to the Multitap timeline if no notifications are present

Bug Fixes

• Even more small layout tweaks to better fit various screen sizes

• Added a fallback for platforms without a user-defined sort order.
