The big news this update is the return of horizontal user banners. They work a bit differently this time. Tall banners are automatically cropped to a set height to ensure viewers don't need to scroll down too far to see the rest of the page.

There's still a fair bit of scrolling required on phones to get past the profile buttons and page note. I may hide all of that behind a toggle on mobile.

The rest of the update focused on a bunch of layout and UI fixes for phones. This should be the last phone-centric update barring the odd tweak here and there.

New to the Patreon? All patrons can check out the demo at backloggery.club. For now, non-patrons can look around but won't be able to use an account if they register. The beta will become an open beta down the road. The demo's data is not connected to the current site and will not carry over to the public release. You can see current plans and known issues on the Trello.

Is it possible to have an option for the way you had it before this update? I thought the new look was really clean and easy to look at! No worries if not, I don't want there to be more trouble for you. (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠`⁠*⁠) thank you for all the hard work!

Oh, I forgot to mention there's no default banner anymore, so if you want a clean look you can just delete your existing banner. It'll look a lot like it did before, just without the additional image on the side. Is that close enough to what you wanted?

"Tall banners are automatically cropped to a set height to ensure viewers don't need to scroll down too far to see the rest of the page." Thank you so much for that.

Hi, quick question, will we be able to use badge icons in the about section? On the old site I like to display all the games I've added in the year like this: 2020: :N: 307 :U: 0 :B: 16 :C: 1 :M: 0 I tried it in the new one, but it doesn't display the badges, just the text. Will there be equivalent ones for the new site? Thanks :)

Joe Murray

Yes, that is planned. I thought I had that in the Post-Launch list on Trello but it seems not. Added!

really not liking how the new banner works, It's seems more restrictive then the one we have now.
