    The weirdest thing. I was in the GBA section (after selecting "US Game Releases). Everything was going well until I was on page 6 (of 7) and clicked on next. Instead of loading the 7th (and last) page, I was brought into the PSX list instead, on page 7 of 14...

    The system also added some weird unrelated games to my want list (non-US releases of Tony Hawk 2, 3 and 4 on the Saturn???).

    Methinks the system is still a bit bonky...

    When I added my 32x and atari 7800 collections I went to check oni t and it added a lot of different stuff. Stuff for the Tandy and other systems i've not even messed with. Just giving you guys a heads up on that.

    Everything I added in the trade list (for the 32x and Atari 7800 respectively) seemed to work fine.

    One thing I hadn't considered is "what if you guys are adding stuff when I am updating the datbase?" and I think that's why you're seeing the occasional odd entry into your lists. I can see that I'll need to schedule these things, do them at off-hours or ask Adam to build some kind of protection on your lists when the database is updating.

    I may have missed this, but is there any way to designate games complete or loose?

    Thanks - there's a thread in the Guide and Database forum about missing GameCube titles - we're on it!

    Message from Mars <transmitting>

    The propeller heads are most concerned about the lists suddenly changing midstream. We would like any more instances sent to us directly, should I hear one or two more that Joe doesn't immediately take responsibility for concerning a db update, I will assume I have some synchronization issue on my hands and rexamine the engine for inappropriate state variables.

    I was hoping that there would be counters on the lists so that it would say how many games were owned for each system with out me having to slowly scroll down my list saying "1,2,3,4......1,062.... oh damn I last count?!". Maybe in future versions there can be a box that tells total games for each system owned, or just a box that has all the systems and zeros or N/A-s all systems that do not apply. I'll continue adding my collection slowly over the next couple days, but I'll also stick with my spreadsheeted Databases to help me keep track of my numbers and percentages as well as titles.

    Looking forward to updates.

    One good reason not to post them...that, and the fact that there aren't any PC games. Would be nice to designate a list as private for only forum members.

    Yeah, that's one reason I'm still maintaining my IGN list, pc games. Everything's pretty sweet although it seems a ton of genesis games appeared on my want list and I'm sure I checked "Owned". Weird. It also deleted a 32x want I had in there, must have been doing something while an update was happening?

    Hmm, this doesn't seem to like FireFox at all...

    Under FF, you can't sort the lists nor can you move past the first page of any search in the Online guide. Seems to work OK under IE, but a lot of us avoid that program like the plague

    I'm using Firefox and it works just fine. I used to have the problems you describe, but haven't for months now. Using version 1.0...though I should probably upgrade sometime.

    Yup, upgrading to FireFox 1.0 solved the problem i was having earlier.

    These are not the problems you are looking for... move along... move along...

    lol and you're wondering about sites not working? 1.0 is far better and out for months

    about the private thing: i agree, would be a nice option, not that i need it right now, but you never know

    about pc games: it's just too much work and a too big list imho

    Just noticed that a gamecube game is missing....

    Alien Hominid.

    It only lists the PS2 platform but I own it for the GC.

    There are quite a few more recent games not on the GCN list. I would wait until the next DB update to post missing games.

    Awsome! I am going to start liting my games!

    I did DS first, and noticed that Wario Ware Touched ! is missing. Also Cube Quest, and that kaboom game for vectrex. I forget the name.

    Awsome Joe, this is just another example of DP being the bets site on the internet.

    I was one of the few people who actually tried Firefox beta, didn't like it, and stuck with IE. Since Firefox was officially released as 1.0, I tried it again and love it now. Definitely an improvement in many ways. Haven't had any such problems so far.

    The database is great. I've already made my sad, little list. Looking forward to the loose/complete feature, too. Kudos.

    This is very cool...again, many thanks to Joe and all behind the scenes. I've been working on the smaller collections first, but as the prospect of over 700 clicks for the NES stares me in the face, a question comes to mind...

    Is there any way to automatically mark all items in a search as "owned", and then go back and unmark the few items you don't have? This would make the bigger lists much less daunting. Either way, this service is just another confirmation that no other site does as much for the gaming/collecting community as DP does!

    Kudos!
