We are pleased to report that we have successfully upgraded the Twin Galaxies notification system as well has improved a number of areas of the site.

Many of these improvements required system-wide changes and re-engineering of things so we apologize for the delay.

With so many things under the hood being affected we do expect some possible bugs to appear - so we would appreciate any related feedback regarding problems. We will try to stomp them out as quickly as possible!

(If you see weird things, please try clearing your browser's cache and refreshing the page.)

While many notifications are now implemented, there are 3 that are still being worked on that will become available over the next week or so.

“USER X” IS STREAMING LIVE

“USER X” JUST BEAT YOUR RECORD!!

"CONTROVERSY" WITH AN ADJUDICATION YOU HAVE VOTED ON

We encourage you to explore the changes.

You will notice that on your profile page you will see a new tab called SOCIAL. This will allow you to manage who you follow and who is following you!

Some of you will also notice that the old notification shoutbox has been eliminated. This is because it is no longer required. The new notification system now serves that function.

We are continuing to work on more functionality and systems. Members can look forward to steady improvements over the coming weeks/months.

We look forward to the continued growth of Twin Galaxies!

Thank you for your patience.

A minor thing I noticed today - on all posts and when viewing profiles, while the number is still showing up right above the "Player Skill Index" and number of records the user has, the words "Expert Skill Index" no longer appear...instead there is just a colon.

Yes totally agree. Thats on the fix list....

But I will say that I personally like this new notification system. Much easier to keep up with things!

I still can't submit on Phantom 2 for MAME, doesn't have a box for score input. Not sure if is a related issue.It isn't even a great score :P
  • alarm

Every submission I have reviewed thus far today suffers from a common issue:

The original post includes the video (if uploaded to TG), but nothing else. The scoreboard link, rules, and submission message are all missing.

If the submitted video is hosted elsewhere (YouTube, Twitch, etc.), it does NOT appear at all.

Another item I've noticed throughout the day:

Numerous replies in the Submission Review forum contain formatting errors.

I figure it's either a system issue, or various TG members have forgotten how to use formatting tags and/or the "Reply With Quote" feature.

Type your first word, then hit enter, then hit back space, and all will be good.

We are considering re-activating it.

I use it for the show, as when a score is accepted. Otherwise it is put into the "accepted" forum based on last comment, not when verified. So sometime we miss a awesome score, but no one has commented on it for two months, and it goes way way down the queue. I don't activate a feature just for me, but it is helpful for that purpose only.

Thanks

Greatly appreciated.

The shoutbox is a valuable resource for submission and CR analysis.

The Shoutbox Archive is another story entirely.

Big ups once again to Scott for his data collections and analyses. Important stuff, people.

Heads up... had two submissions accepted recently, and I didn't get notifications about either one.
