Thanks for adding percentages to the critic scores.

One more thing. How about making it possible to add line spaces when submitting critic reviews, and restoring the ones in some of the critic reviews that I got approved?

Line breaks should not be in review abstracts. The Standards are clear about what to do in situations where a review ends in a short paragraph which cannot be used as a summary of a review: concatenate two or three paragraphs into one if they are very short or make no sense individually. For example:

"Game 2: The Game Continues is an excellent game.

However, its shortcomings often outweigh its strengths."

Should be concatenated to:

"Game 2: The Game Continues is an excellent game. However, its shortcomings often outweigh its strengths."

The Standards are more guidelines than rules. Also I believe taking sentences from separate paragraphs, and making them into one paragraph might be misleading if a reader reads a review from this site then goes on to look at the original review from the source.

In some edge cases they are, in this case they are not.

I CAN SEE MY CONTRIBUTION STATUS AGAIN, HALLELUJAH

Nice to see "My Rating" re-added to Most Wanted page, The Most Wanted page still needs work though,, particular in the sorting of lists (alphabetically, chronologically, etc..). A step in the right direction though,

I still see 8 unread messages in the MobyGames forum which I cannot find.

Seems like the unread threads not going to the top issue reappeared with this update? Only saw it in the Mobygames category though, with three threads with unread messages staying lower down the page.

It seems like all the threads that were previously stickied are at the top of the MG subforum.

Ah, you're right, seems like stickies got reintroduced... But not marked in any way, just like nothing is, so no way to know why they're up there.

I am very much happy with it.
