but we'll let you do inequalities. (IE: rarity>5, dollars < 80)

This isnt working. I assume that you mean it will be avaliable.


BTW: You guys rock!!!!!!!!!!! This new feature is Biziddy Bad Ass.

[nesman85]

this sounds awesome! the link isn't working for me though.

[richmond]

[Sph1nx]

Maybe it looks easy but there's a little planning and skill involved! Look for implementation on the < = > value/scarcity on Sunday.

I assume it's probably planned to be included anyway, but if you've got a really long listing and you can browse only between the different pages via the next and previous links at the bottom, it gets quite annoying after a while. A direct link list to all the single pages of the search result would be really usefull :)

I'm gonna sound stupid, but what does "Slant" and Landmark supposed to mean when searching for games.

[SpasticFuctard]

"Slant" is Joe's self important rambling about the game

Landmark is flagging that title as a landmark in the industry.

SF - Yarrrr, it's drivin' me nuts.

If I right click on the rarity listing for example, and choose open in new window, the list that is being displayed doesn't have to do anything with the original selection :)

When you click on rarity 8 you get all rarity 8's, for example. When you click on $20 you get all $20's.

I get a nice 400 - Bad Request error.

[klimatron8]

waaayyy coool. When you get the (<=>) scale in and later pictures this'll be even better than sliced bread.

Q- i'm having trouble printing this white on black style -is it just me?

Nope, I meant something else. Say for example, I choose Atari 2600 and Non U.S. releases, then click on Find it. Now I've got that listing, and when I right click on the 'Scarcity' link on the top of the page, choose open in new window, I'm getting a list with all kinds of systems, not only Atari 2600, and they're not sorted by scarcity as I wanted to (that list is 247 pages long versus 21 pages of the original 2600 listing).

I get a nice 400 - Bad Request error.

To ANYONE who gets crazy results, crashes, occasional outages - please bear in mind that this is a BETA, and Adam and I are still working on it in the background. When all of the development work is done it will be moved to the main server and stabilize.

As for that right-click issue, robotriot, I'll look into it. I haven't done any testing with right-clicking opening in new window so far. Thanks!

[punkoffgirl]

Does this mean I get a cookie now?

SF

Adam, you can have all the cookies you want!

[Sotenga]

For some reason, I'm only checking this out just now... WHOA. Joe, SF, and all the rest, you've outdone yourself! Excellent!

Of course, I'm sure that this isn't yet complete... I can't find Gradius Gaiden. S'okay, take your time to add what you need. I just won GG over eBay for a mere $25 and I wanted to find out just how hard it was to obtain.

I'm not sure why you can't find it. I typed in "gradius" and there it was.

Oopsie. I wasn't using it right. Apparently, it's not required that you choose a system, genre, etc. Tee hee... red, my face is. Thanks, Joe.

... its rarity is zero? Huh? Thought it was harder to find than that...

Oh that's OK! It's actually good to hear about what bits might not be "intuitive". I'm planning on addings some instruction to the page that will help with the searches.

... its rarity is zero? Huh? Thought it was harder to find than that...

Rarity "0" means it hasn't been rated yet. The PSX section is an immense effort, as you might imagine, and imports an even trickier business. But we're on it. Over time, everything will just "fill in".

[SpasticFuctard]

The right click open as a new window on sort or paging:

Yeah, and it's going to. Don't do that if you don't like the results.

The sort and paging stuff is all javascripted, all I can do is make their links something bogus like, "Hey, knock it off. That's not how you use this sucker." and you'll get a 404.

Or I can make all the search stuff a get rather than a post, but then you'll get a huge mess in the url, and frankly, you might hit the upper bound of query string length.

SF - Knock it off.
