Sounds good; seems I'll likely just migrate my Beaten titles into Completed and take the time to thoroughly fill out the multiple completion timing fields, as I do have notes on the difference between initial beating the game and 100% where relevant. I don't mind the consolidation for the most part, I'm just not sure how I could readily discern within a singular Completed category what titles I've truly Completed (as in no more content) and those that might be worth revisiting for a replay or achievement cleanup or whathaveyou. Is there another flag or label native to the site that I could lean on in that regard?

You could think of the 3 completion categories as Main (Beaten), Main Plus (Beaten but have more to do.), Completionist (Mastered). You could mention status in the notes.

There aren't really other flags that could fill this need at the moment but I'm also open to feedback.

Unfortunately, I just got the review bug again. It seems to have started around the update for start times. Did that maybe leave a loop going and it just takes 10-15 minutes for it to crash? Maybe people writing reviews are the only ones on the playthrough page for that long.

- Reworked date display code. Allows year, year/month, day/month, year/month/day. Short and long forms of month depending on usage.

I noticed date added has been changed to just a year/month format. I really think it should be year/month/day, that's a category that could use the more specific date.

That's definitely a bug. Thanks for reporting.

EDIT: Fix rolling out now.

Looking forward to next week.

So, there's a bit of a problem with these two listings:

https://howlongtobeat.com/game/1935
https://howlongtobeat.com/game/98773

The first is ostensibly for the first entry in the Corpse Party series, but there are a few problems here. To begin, I don't know where 2006 came from, that year only corresponds to the mobile remake (New Chapter) of the original 1996 game that was never finished. Second, it's conflating both the 2008 PC version, Blood Covered, with the later 2010 PSP version, Blood Covered... Repeated Fear. This leads to the problem of the second listing, attributed to 2021, but the thing is that that version is just BCRF ported to new systems, not to mention 3DS before that in 2015. So really, there should be a listing for the originally 2008 version only on PC (BC), and then another listing for the 2010 and on version available on *deep breath* PSP/iOS/3DS/Switch/PS4/Xbox/PC (BCRF).

No idea if you'll see this, but how does this look? (Before I move submissions)

4th time reporting this one. They posted spam urls again this morning.

Sorry, I missed this thread for a few weeks.

I think there might be a bug with completed dates on games. All of my completion dates are showing as a month later than actual. For example, a game I beat yesterday is showing my completion date as Dec 3rd. I went to edit it, thinking I made a wrong input, but the date was listed in my completion data as Nov. 3rd. This is the case for all my other completion dates as well. I also noticed games I beat in December of last year are shown as beaten in "Undefined 20th" for example. I don't know if it's just me or not but I just wanted to give a heads up.

Thanks, a fix will be out in about 10 minutes.

EDIT: Fix is out.

Site Update:

Stats
- "Avg Days To Beat" only calculates playthroughs that have a valid month, day and year.

General
- Reworked date display code. Allows year, year/month, day/month, year/month/day. Short and long forms of month depending on usage.
- Date displays now include ordinal suffix. (January 1st, March 2nd, etc.)

I noticed a minor bug with the start date. When leaving the year field empty in start date it seems to default the year to 1 or something, which even if done on a single completion entry brings the average days to beat up to like 33,000 on the user stats page. It's a pretty small issue but I had to dig through my completions and set the year to figure out why my average days stat was so high.

I've been trying to write a review a few times now and the page has crashed (in page, not the browser or tab), being replaced with "Something went wrong! Please try again later". Not sure what's caused that to happen, I'd guess the live preview?



Not a huge deal, just need to save and edit the review more often, just letting you know in case there's a fixable problem behind it.

I've tried writing and manipulating for like 10 minutes in different ways and haven't been able to trigger it. That message is for a client-side catch all error boundary.

Would there be any additional information you could provide? Special character usage or copy pasting certain items or anything you can think of?

Nice!

Please add Start Date to the csv export when you get a chance. 🙏

Yep, it will be in the next update!

Can you look into why my highlighted collection on the profile shows "See 1 More Games" when there isn't any more?

Looks like a counting bug because 1 of your items is flagged as Expansion/DLC. I'll take a look.
