Site Feedback

Something must have gotten messed up in the newest site update, because I can't add games to my backlog via Steam. That's how the page loads in and clicking either "estimate time" or "import games" does nothing.

Plush is correct, your games aren't public on Steam. A lot of people are reporting issues but it's actually because Steam changed their default privacy settings.

That's why I recently add a note "Your Steam Game List Must Be Public"

BUT! You did actually find a bug and it was that I forgot to close a DIV in my code, thanks! Fixed it.

My steam games library has always been public, at least the submission always worked for me before and I checked to make sure. But I'm glad I helped at least!

I viewed your profile when you reported issues and everything but your games were viewable.

Stream put their new policies in place about 2 weeks ago.

Anyway, looks like the import feature is loading your games now so you must have gotten it working.

----------------

For anyone reading this with issues, use an incognito browser window and see if your games are public:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/<yourinfohere>/games/?tab=all

Seems to be some inconsistencies though because my profile works but my games aren't publicly listed.

For some reason I guess it changed on Steam's end, and I had thought I double checked correctly after you mentioned it was hidden. I didn't go in and change it and I checked via a friend if they were visible, but apparently it was friends only which is why I was mistaken.

Either way, kinda crappy for them to change people's settings like that. At least all is working now.

Site Update:
- Reworked conversation system.
- Moved forum post functions to bottom of text area to avoid interference on mobile.

Edit:
Made a few more changes to forum styling while creating threads/posting.

Edit 2:
Fixed some minor bugs with personal times on game pages.

Another Site Update:
User Page > Profile - Massively improved page speed.
User Page > Activities - Reworked whole system, works off a new database structure so old activities were wiped.
User Page > Playing/Completed - Now shows the last 8 between the 2.
User Page > Friends - Fixed some bugs, updated activity feed.

Noticed this when making a post on mobile! now I don't have to fight with the copy/paste pop-up box when trying to press bold/italic :D

EDIT: Went to check my profile and everything besides info an currently playing games is GONE!

Yeah, I reworked the whole activity system. It should start populating now and will look normal soon.

Ok, I'll keep checking back then!

my profile activity is completely missing as well - and I've been adding completions/playing updates regularly :)

yeah I read that, but it's gotten rid of everything on my profile page since about a year ago, including new things added in the last few days, although older stuff still shows up - it doesn't seem to be working as intended - don't mind any changes, just giving feedback =)

Random question, and I thought I was going nuts for a second, but some of the times in my backlog list are a slightly different color. I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks but indeed, there are two different colors on the time text. Does it mean anything? I don't remember them looking like this before, and was just curious if this is a new feature for something.

first time poster and rookie user... is there any way to set a default sorting option? I'd always like to sort by date added.

It's always been like that. It's there to make it easier to tell between the lines and which time goes for which game.

This actually means that your preferred estimated time category is not available so it is using an alternate time to use as a comparison.

Site Update:
- Privacy Policy added to footer.
- Submission page updated. First play/replay moved to single player section and now only required if a time is submitted.

I didn't mean the actual lines, I meant the numbers. Some of them are black (like they were before) and some of them are gray now. Specifically I'm talking about these:

91h 40m
43h
50h
23h 20m

This actually means that your preferred estimated time category is not available so it is using an alternate time to use as a comparison.

That makes a lot of sense, actually! I recently changed what I'm comparing my backlog to, which would by why I thought something just got changed. Thanks for the insight.

I do not know if this is "normal", but I registered 2.5 hours ago according to my profile information and tried to import games from Steam, some as "Complete", one as "Retired" and one as "Playing". Every time the page is refreshed with no information or feedback and nothing changes on my profile.

Steam recently changed user privacy settings to hidden as a default, so make sure your steam games are publicly visible for the import to function.

Looks like you have almost 5,000 titles to your account. If you were by chance trying to add more than 1000, it would break. I've made some changes to support up to 5,000.

Sorry for your troubles.

Guys, I think I mentioned that before but it got lost, I guess. There is a minor issue while importing library from Steam. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition remains on the import list after import, so it is offered to be imported over and over again. And Shadow Warrior (2013) is misinterpreted as Shadow Warrior (1997), resulting also in remaining on 'to-import' list. This one can be easily solved though, by adding Shadow Warrior (2013) manually to users collection through search here on HLTB.

I remember trying to figure this out a few months back... I'm going to need some help figuring out the differences.

Here are the games on HLTB and the Steam attachments:

Shadow Warrior (2013)
HowLongToBeat
Steam
This seems to be tied correctly

Shadow Warrior (1997)
HowLongToBeat
Steam Link 1
Steam Link 2
What is the difference between these 2 titles? HLTB title is linked with these 2 and likely where the problem lies.

I may have corrected the issue by updating the title with (1997) the way steam import works on the site it tries to match the title if the Steam ID is not found. Steam calls the game just Shadow Warrior, which is what the 1997 version was called on HLTB so maybe it was auto assigning itself as that version.

Shadow Warrior Classic Redux
HowLongToBeat
Steam
This one seems fine too.

When it comes to Lost Planet, I believe I may have fixed it. Let me know what you see.

Ah, cool. Didn't realize Wiki broke it down like that. Thanks.

Based on what I'm reading, both classics have the same content and don't deserve separate entries.

Hopefully all the Steam import issues are sorted.

You fixed both alright, thank you. Tried by deleting both and importing, both imported well and are not being offered anymore.
