The "Games with X or less screenshots" option in the Most Wanted page still is buggy (it always shows only games that have 0 screenshots.)

The big stack of release dates on the "Most Wanted" page contains odd entries such as "C - Nov 01, 2008" or "@ - May 29, 2007".

Is it possible that the system displays rejected items in the quick trivia. I couldn't find this one in the trivia section at all:
Patrick Bregger (303298) on 12/16/2012 11:15 AM · edited · Permalink · Report
The design preview does not use the current state of the database. That's probably the reason. Of course it is still worth pointing out that the "did you know" section is useless with our current trivia concept.
Edit: I retract my statement. The trivia item is also not present in the QA version of the site, so it is a bug indeed.

Main preview cover gets an unnatural glossy blur and looks worse than the current cover preview. I am talking about the one on the left. The preview covers in the center look better and crisper, despite them being smaller. Not a big problem, but visible.

The number of contribution points displayed at the top near the user name is design-wise broken. I have only three digits there, but I am wondering how numbers with six digits would look. Also "pts" is below the number and we've got parantheses stretching on two rows...

The paging on lists such as forums lists vertically instead of horizontally. Overall the forum listing doesn't look as clearly delineated as the current version. When I'm not logged in, there is a large unused column to the right, when logged in there doesn't seem to be any way to post a new topic. The layout when you select a topic is extremely squished vertically and the links at the bottom aren't listed very well. I can't read individual posts, not sure if that's just a qa site limitation or a real bug.

The approval pages need to be updated so they fit in the new layout and are difficult to read since they are very cramped. Also, the edit links have a broken layout; some are usable but just have a black background, the edit release info is particularly bad however.

On the company pages, the text following the headers doesn't begin on a new line sometimes which makes the page less clear and looks cluttered (it doesn't show in this picture, but the same thing seems to happen with trivia on this page when there actually is a trivia item)

10 star rating goes out of bounds
I was at a company profile page, then clicked "List games developed by" and got this: A visible hash tag
I see the game group browser is in now. That's good. Formatting is a bit weird, but I assume that's to be taken care of still.

- Descriptions are still half-hidden on the game rap sheet. This instantly deprives us of one of our most unique and helpful features
- Generally, too many clicks are needed to unlock everything. Why can't we have longer pages with most content visible instantly, like now?
- Alternate titles are shown as an incomprehensible mess. There are no designations for them.
- Reviews on game sheet are selected randomly instead of according to score and user "helpful" rating. A very bad idea. People are not working on their good reviews so that they will be obfuscated by less good ones. I want to see my most helpful reviews where they are now - right on the game sheet, thank you very much.
- Country flags are missing from user sheets and lists
- "This day in gaming" is still disproportionally prominent.
- All the lists have been inflated to show covers. This should be optional. I can't browse through anyone's game collection normally anymore. I don't want to go through 15 pages just to see a list of games somebody owns. There should be an option to display just a list, without the images that occupy so much space.

I'm going to back up Oleg's stance on descriptions here. They're the single most important item for every game entry. They can't be hidden half away to the size of a trivia sentence to the right. These really need to prominently displayed and in their entirety because it's the foundation of every game entry, not an afterthought. It could be displayed in full by default, and trimmed with the "show more" with a check box for user preferences.

They are also the unique characteristic of MobyGames. Hiding them would be similar to Burger King hiding their burgers.

Even when choosing multiple platforms in the first step of the New Game Wizard, you can only enter one release information. This is bad because there are likely differences (different companies, different countries, other release dates...).

The platform is locked after leaving the first step of the New Game Wizard. This means there is no way to delete a wrongly selected platform anymore. The only way to get of it is to say the approver that he needs to reject it.

oh, it already does that, you just need to find a trivia item that is revised like that which I haven't found again to post on here to see if it's acceptable... I've seen one once and it seemed alright but if all trivia is like that then I can foresee some reprogramming of that box may be needed

I also have cropped screenshots in the main overview page but they also seem to be shifted downward, leaving a blank space on top of them. The blank space is also not clickable (screenshot) The popup image browser also has cropped images but no downward shift.

When clicking a screenshot on the overview page, I get a popup image browser. Once I'm on the screenshot page itself, screenshots are displayed on top of the page above the small thumbs (no popup image browser).

He means that when a game has too many groups, the description appears far too below in the game page, so there are lots of info displayed before the description. It seems that it is a consensus among the approvers that the description should be the most prominent feature in our pages.

What does "not resolved" means? I saw it on that "no top games box" on companies pages, and I'm wondering if that means that it won't be resolved.
Rob, are we gonna stick with the design as it is now? I'm asking because there are some things that are not bugs bug I think that shouldn't stay the way they are. For instance, the MobyRankings and MobyScores are all grey, regardless of how low or high they are. Couldn't we have a color scheme for those?

I don't know if it a bug are the design was changed in the last days, but know I have the following behaviour:
If a have contributions which are not completed or wipped by an approver I see these contributions on the homepage and on my contribution status summary page. Now I have a cover contribution which I do not see at the homepage, only at the contribution summary page.
