Nice work. However the pages seem stuck on repeat once you try to get past page 25.
ex. these are the same:

Browse->Games then sort alphabetical (z-a). Currently on the very first page there's 4 games that shouldn't be there: "Triple Fantasy", "Our Life: Beginnings & Always - Voiced Name Expansion", ​"Our Life: Beginnings & Always - Step 2 Expansion" and "Our Life: Beginnings & Always - Step 1 Expansion".
Also "…But That Was [Yesterday]" appears there. However, titles that start with ellipsis (for example "...A Personal Nightmare" and "...Iru!") appear before numbers. Not sure what's the difference between them.

There's no "Credits in progress" message for games with only one platform. We need to select a platform first in order to see if there's anything in the queue for it. Could we have it so we instantly see a message when we go to contribute for credits whether there's something on the pipeline already? Thanks!

Just had an entry approved that i initially srted on february 14t,but didn't finish yet, due to setver transfer and STILL lack of overview in the personal wip list (a feature prominent on the front page prior)
Sciere approved and i got the email complimenting me of it getting approved per usual. But i find it funny since the email said and i quote " The new game entry that you submitted on Sep 23rd, 1889 has been approved. Your contribution rating has increased by 2 points."
Yeah a bit early for computers donvt you think Vedder? :p

Hi there, amazing update! Noticed a couple of bugs and was wondering what could be the issue. The first bug is that some games that do have a Mobyscore don't display it in the main part of the Overview page: https://www.mobygames.com/game/161259/the-house-in-fata-morgana-dreams-of-the-revenants-edition/ The other is that some games' overall Mobyscore doesn't display the same number in the Overview page at the top and at the bottom in the Reviews section (which matches the score in the review tab and the one shown when browsing games using the filter): https://www.mobygames.com/game/67674/the-last-of-us-remastered/
No idea why this happens.

25 % of screen are useless white blocks. Have a look on https://de.wikipedia.org/ to get e glimpse of using screen space (language is irrelevant as the english page has this white wall-ing as well, but german site is using screensize/space in a efficient way).

Some of the latest approved games aren't showing in the search results. Is this supposed to be a 24 hour thing or is it a bug?
Try to search Atelier Ryza 3 or Resident Evil 4 (the 2023 version) -> no dice

SCertain ratings aren't active, like IARC (for all platforms) or the VRCR Rating (Android/Windows/Quest/Go), even though they show all active in the admin panel till at least the year 2100 for all respective platforms!

The search index is definitely broken. Some games I submitted which were approved days ago still aren't showing up in search results or in groups or company pages.

https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Have%20a%20Nice%20Death -> even the Switch platform i added (and gotten approved) does NOT show on the search, but DOES show on the page: https://www.mobygames.com/game/180993/have-a-nice-death/
This could pose a contribute dilemma when a game can be submitted/scrqaped from a diff platform and submitted. I believe your Resident Evil 4 submission was later scraped from a diff platform i believe

Seems search index is fixed again......yup

Something i noticed missing, or perhaps so convoluted in a way that you don't see it properly, is the option to add a "version release update" , which was very common for some games (windows in particular). -> The games that had these are now missing this information as well
Is this function coming back in any form?
https://www.mobygames.com/game/70277/captain-toad-treasure-tracker/releases/ -> all the way at the bottom it says WiiU patches (that's what i meant)

I see that there is now a "This is a Patch" checkbox available, nice.....
new BUG: adding new release info to an existing release info (like i want to do here: Fire Dragon Fist Master Xiaomei https://www.mobygames.com/game/186447/fire-dragon-fist-master-xiaomei/ ) NOW FORCES the new release to be a patch
So adding normal release info now is impossible......
(adding a new release by cloning OR forgoing cloning and just adding thing manually -> either way it forces a normal release into ticking the "this is a patch" box..... )
