Site Remake - Release Candidate 1 (Patreon)

It's time for the final test!

Wednesday I exported a copy of the Backloggery.com database and started converting it for use on the site remake. It took over 32 hours to process several gigs of data, but it's now all converted and loaded on the test server.

==============================================
🚨 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.
==========================================

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 12:30pm ET on Feb 28. 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.

RC1 Patch Notes

Improvements

• Updated FAQ
• Improved accuracy of yearly progress indices.
• Allow discreet control over multitap posting and milestone creation when adding/updating games
• Added full list of platforms to the site
• Tweaked how compilations are counted in totals. A parent game set to None is not counted under total games.
• Active Backlog bar is now clickable to quickly view all your Unplayed and Unfinished games together.

Bug Fixes

• When loading a new page the scrollbar is now reset to the top
• Adjusted text sizing and arrangement for games to prevent bits of some letters getting cropped off.
• Ensure platform headers aren't shown when switching from Sort by Platform another sorting criteria.

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

The current plan is to let you all test this out for a week or so. If no major issues come up, it'll time for the real launch.

Edit: Scratch that, definitely gonna need an RC2!

Current Known Conversion Errors:

• Games from relevant platforms failed to be marked digital
• Some regions were converted incorrectly
• Star ratings were halved.
