I'm sorry if this was already discussed in the past, but would there be any way of the site saving your "preferences" when viewing your lists?

99% of the times I check my "completed" tab, I sort my list to "Date - Completed". For my custom tabs, I always change to "Rating - Global" so I can avoid poorly rated games.

I know this is not a game-changing-super-important request, and I don't even know if this would be possible, but at least for me this would be a nice little addition.

^ THIS

ISTG it used to be this way and I've asked about it before but don't know why it changed. I also check my Completed list by date completed 99% of the time.

Yeah, I'm 100% with y'all there. That would be a neat thing to have.

Are there any plans to revive/update/moderate the HLTB Facebook page? It's been dead/forgotten for almost a year and a half now...

Edit: I'm expecting some "What?! There is a HLTB Facebook page?!" at this point. 😂

Facebook and Twitter haven't been forgotten but I've been so busy with other things. I've never been good at keeping up to date with social media.

I'm sure the team will want to do something with them at some point but I still have control of them. I despise Facebook as a platform so naturally I post there less.

Suggestion for the forums:

The ‘Recent Gaming’ section is almost always dominated by the same ‘mega threads’ such as ‘Post Your Wins’ and ‘What game are you currently playing at the moment*’

I was wondering if such ongoing threads could/should be put in their own section called e.g. ‘Recent Regular’, allowing new threads about gaming to have greater exposure, to keep things interesting and dynamic?

Perhaps any thread that has been going on for longer than a certain time (6 months? a year?) with a certain number of posts (500? 1000?) could be moved there?

*the last bit of that title is superfluous, seeing as it already said ‘currently’. Yes, my application to join the Grammar Nazis has been submitted.

May have found a bug:
If you enter a time greater than the value allowed (example: 67min), the field will tell you to enter a valid amount. But if I change it to the correct value (example 1hr 7m) the submit button does not work. It shows "submitting..." and highlights as clickable, but clicking does not work.

Would love if anyone can confirm this.

Yep, just tried it while editing one of my games being played and it did the same thing. The button seems to get locked on 'submitting...' And yeah, can't get it to actually submit.

As this is unfixed for maybe 2 weeks now I figured that this is something that doesn't show for Everdred and others haven't reported it yet. This is using Firefox 84/Ubuntu 20.04. I don't remember seeing it using Firefox&Windows.

OK, based on your screenshot it happens on bolded items which means that it must make the element too tall and shoves the others over. Thanks for bringing it up, haven't seen it before.

According to Firefox's inspector it's 21px for a normal username and 21.5px for a bolded username.
As I already suspected this to be something font-related I've checked that this isn't a result of some privacy settings that I've done, but websites actually can download and use their own fonts.

I did a check on a few browsers and got the same thing as Sora. Not sure if it helps or not, but thought it might be worth the mention.
Firefox + Arch Linux
Tor Browser + Arch Linux
DuckDuckGo Browser + Android

Confirm the submit bug is gone :D Thank you for that!

The bold text for some users is still there from what I'm seeing. Same listed browsers as mentioned above.

The bold text means that users has posts on the forum. I'm worried about the misaligned items from Sora's post:

Could there be a way to sort your lists by genre? Like, if I wanted to see how many games I've completed that have "Platform" listed in the genre? I was hoping that info would be included in the csv export but it's not there.

I read this thread https://howlongtobeat.com/forum.php?&thread=922 about compilation games but I have still some questions related to editing game info.

When editing game info, there is Game type: compilation and Single player: Combined Stats - Compilation. Should they both be checked for compilation games or is there some difference between them? There's also Genre: compilation, what is this for and should it also be used together?
Also, I noticed some titles like Uncharted and Devil May Cry collections are not compilation but others like BioShock and Metal Gear Solid collections are. Is there some specific reason for that some collections are not compilations?

It apparently comes with Kasumi, Overlord and Shadow Broker included. Come to think of it, doesn't Oblivion on PS3 come with KotN?
