New Feature: Proper "Other" Systems!
#1
In preparation for our new developers and genres sections, Dazz and I implemented a new method of displaying games in the "Other Systems" sections today. Instead of everything being lumped into a single "console", new consoles were added for every game represented in the Other section. The navigation now intelligently determines if a game is big enough to be displayed as a "main" system (bonus points if you can figure out the number of games required) and moves the rest into a sub-menu of the Other Systems entry. Clicking on Other Systems will show you all of the games it contains, as it did before, but you can now actually browse the individual systems within it, just like every other system on the site except that all of their games are displayed on one page and the letter bar at the top is removed.

Also, while not yet implemented, the ability to submit a new game to a new system will be added, possibly tomorrow, which will tie directly into this new display style. We'll be removing the now unnecessary (System Name) from all of the recategorized games tomorrow as well. We're hoping this will improve usability and the utility of the search function, especially once we get the rest of our newly planned information in place. As always, post any comments, questions, or suggestions here!

TTR and TSoR don't have any other systems besides those listed - that's not a bug Tongue

But I know for a fact that TSoR had other systems before. I even submitted something to a Game Boy game. Shocked

Okay, both issues are fixed. Turns out we were a little hasty in switching to my new query style and forgot to verify that there was or wasn't an Other Systems section on all sites. Turns out they all did have one but didn't show up due to them failing to meet the minimum size requirement at first. I've fixed all instances of missing games and updated any pending submissions so all should be well now.
