A user wants to add here at MobyGames a critics-review for 'Demon Attack' by a magazine called 'Video'- see https://ia601007.us.archive.org/18/items/Video.Reese.Arcade.Alley.Random.Access.1978-1986/Video.1982%2011x/Video.1982.08.V6N5-AC.pdf#page=4

Unfortunately, 'Video' cannot be selected as a critics-source though it exists at https://www.mobygames.com/critic/2434/video/. Does anyone know how to get 'Video' to be displayed as a critics-source when adding a game?

Thanks in advance.

The apparent problem is that there is no way to scroll through the drop-down list and when looking up the word “Video” the entries are done alphabetically. A single word “Video” unfortunately doesn’t filter the results effectively. I tried a workaround by renaming the critic from “Video” to “Video (magazine)” and I was able to fix the critic review with the correct critic. You can now approve the submission.

Thank you for rename the critic source to 'Video (magazine'. I have approved the critic review that was submitted by the user.

Being unable to see more than 15 sources is quite a problem. On the old MG you just had the entire list to scroll through, and while that slowed loading of the page and being able to search/filter is great, that limitation should be removed, and there should still be a way to see the list if desired (probably by clicking something, so it won't all be loaded unless actually needed).
