The Steam import feature we added last week has been put to good use with 10s of thousands of games added to game collections! And that combined with the Missing Games page has been very productive in helping find games or identifiers that we were missing in the database.
Continuing with this theme, we've done more work on game collections/lists to make them nicer to use and generally more useful. You can now filter/search by title, rate games directly from your list, sort by release, and more.
If you haven't used this feature in a while, or ever, now's a good time to check it out! If you're logged in, you can find this feature via your profile and the menu dropdown at the top of the screen. You can also add games to your lists via game pages.
Let us know if you run into any issues or have any suggestions that would help manage your collection.
Changelog:
- Added title filter to game lists
- Added ability to rate games directly from game lists
- Added release year column and sort to game lists

I just did some tests on different lists, all simply opening the list, then going from page 1 to 2. Wait time is from clicking until page 2 is fully loaded. It takes about 3 seconds each time to load the start of page 2 at the bottom, but the full switch takes much longer.
2500 games: 19 seconds. 880 games: 20 seconds. 300 games: 18 seconds. 106 games: 7 seconds.

Here's a public one, 690 games: https://www.mobygames.com/user/552/terok-nor/collection/43693/splits-to-investigate/
Also took about 20 seconds.

Did some more tests: Vivaldi on Android and Firefox on Windows are the same for me: 19-20 seconds logged in, 10-13 seconds logged out/private. Edge on Windows is faster: 10 seconds no matter whether logged out or in.
Not sure what you mean by "elsewhere on the site". It's as described for my lists. Just checked out some other public lists I could find: your Steam Library ist faster: 4-5 seconds. Another one I found with 3000+ games is the same as mine logged out. Game browser and groups work lightning fast.

Thanks. That gives us more to work with. Really strange and don't know off hand why any of those would be so slow, or why Vivaldi/Firefox would be 2x slower than Edge.
Not sure what you mean by "elsewhere on the site".
I just meant if there's any other page(s) on the site that are slow for you to see whether this is unique to game lists, but sounds like it is, since game browser and groups are fast.

This is weird, the link you posted took me <1 second as well to load as well. I wonder if it could have anything to do with your location? What does the rest of your web browsing tend to take in terms of load times for webpages? (Like, is it usually 5 seconds or greater?)

How about fixing an issue when several publication dates are missing? For example, Screenshot publication dates from Luxor (2005) and Chuzzle Deluxe (2005) are missing.

Just noticed that some symbol characters found in game titles (for instance ampersands and apostrophes) are showing up as HTML objects in game lists.

1) I got a bunch of developers pending and several of those, as far as I can tell, are from credits that were approved months ago. Aren't these supposed to be approved along with the credits?
2) The Escalated thing needs way more transparency about who escalated it and for what reason. At least before you could see who changed the status to "Escalated" and PM that person. Right now the contributor is completely in the dark on why something has been buried for months before someone looks at it.
