It would be best to hide or suppress the PHP warnings, and redirect any warnings and errors to a log file for further review.]]>

Some views and forms still have malformed HTML, though. The homepage is especially tricky to fix because some HTML code is actually stored in the database itself.

These are the pages known to have issues:
  • Home page/pages for individual news updates
  • Viewing some lists of submissions (for example, the How-tos and Sounds lists); the sidebar, Favorites, and My Submissions menus are all affected
  • Individual submission pages for each category
  • Admin Control Panel submission lists for each category

Semi-related: Last summer, someone (he might've been a former MFGG admin from Turkey with a walrus Toad character) complained that the padding inside certain boxes was a pixel or two off after one of the fixes I made. Please let me know if there's any padding that needs to be tweaked.

If someone wants to fix any of these issues, be my guest. They're not a high priority.]]>

One idea I've had would be to add MFGG Wiki links to mainsite submissions. For example, the mainsite page for Revenge of the Walrus might have a spot for a link to the Revenge of the Walrus page on the MFGG Wiki.

This would give the MFGG Wiki a more valuable purpose and might even help MFGG's SEO. It would take a bit of effort for me to create a new database column for games and then manually add links to mainsite games that have Wiki pages.

This isn't a high priority, but I wanted to have this in Suggestions so we can figure out what upgrades should be prioritized for the future.]]>

As a submitter, if you want a submission removed, you click the "Request Removal" button from the submission view. Once a mainsite QC staffer approves your removal request, the submission will no longer be accessible on the site. This process requires a manual approval to make sure your request is legit, just in case a malicious user hacked your account or something.

Once the submission is removed, the system automatically deletes the database entry, making it very hard to restore your submission if you change your mind. Yet the file itself isn't always removed, resulting in ghost files cluttering up the system.

Here's an alternative workflow to consider.

1. User clicks "Remove Submission" button.
2. Submission is marked as "Removed by user" in database, making it no longer visible when you click on the submission page or run a search.
3. Site staff receives a notification (no action required) that a user removed a submission.
4. Submission's database entry and file are purged after a certain amount of time (maybe a year?)

This delivers quicker results for submitters, less work for site staff, and improved ability to restore a submission if someone changes their mind.

A similar process could potentially be used for declined submissions - site staff could view declined submissions for a certain amount of time.]]>

My suggestion is to allow mutiple screenshots inside the game/hack submission, so the user can get a better idea before the download. The format could be a slideshow/carousel, to be backwards compatible with the current implementation.]]>

It might be OK to reject obvious troll reviews and immediately purge them. However, there are some situations where a review has significant but fixable issues - for example, an incomplete section or significant spelling/grammar issues that impede comprehension. In that case, staff could decline the review, but it would return to a "draft" status. Draft reviews could be modified by the submitter and re-submitted after the issues are corrected.

A related suggestion (one that would use this same draft-saving system) would be to allow review authors to save an incomplete review they're writing so they can finish it at a later time. This could make writing more convenient when you're writing longer, more complex reviews.]]>

Currently, you get a notification only if someone comments on one of your mainsite submissions, such as games you've submitted and reviews you've written. But I think it would be nice if you got a similar notification if you received a comment on a review about one of your games/hacks. Sometimes these review comments contain useful feedback.]]>

How would you suggest improving it?

It should probably be able to pull from submission titles as well as descriptions and tags, for one thing.]]>
