4 July 2021

Collapsed author list for Cragne Manor: Cragne Manor has 84 authors, making it appear rather ungainly in search results and other lists of games. Now, in most places where authors are shown, if the game has a very large number of authors, we'll just show the first two authors as "First Author, Second Author, et al."

Fixed emoji handling: IFDB was displaying emojis incorrectly in various places, especially "joined" emojis that combine two emojis into one, such as "Woman Vampire: Dark Skin Tone." 🧛🏿‍♀️

Fixed author search results containing parentheses: A number of games have authors whose names contain parentheses, e.g. "author:Hanon Ondricek (as Keanhid Connor)" You can now click on those author names on a game page and get reasonable search results.

Fixed white background on transparent images in dark mode: In dark mode, non-square images had a blindingly bright white background. Now, the background is transparent.

Fixed tags section on games with many downloads: The tag section for Adventure used to have a huge blank space in it, but no longer.

Improved performance on game details page: Individual game pages load a bit faster than they used to when you're logged in.

Sort by "Newest listing" submission date: You could always sort the Browse page by "Newest listing," but for some reason you could never sort search results that way. Well, now you can!

Search by submission date: You could always search by publication date with published: but now you can search by the date the listing was added with added:

Updated navigation bar: We've changed the "Your Page" link to "My Activity" and changed "Edit Profile" to "Settings."

Clickable genres: The genre on each game (e.g. "Science Fiction") is now a clickable link to search results for that genre.
