Excessive

A new major feature has been added titled What To Play, and can be used to decide on what game to play, and for how long, essentially challenging oneself to play for a specific length of time. Details are as follows:

These changes were implemented about a week ago but I forgot to write them up.

• Added a new preference option, allowing users to set their homepage when visiting the site.
• Fixed some issues with the preferences and users who are not logged in.

Changed some of the behaviour of the menu tabs along the top. Added a show/hide feature on the active user page. You can now hide specific users from the list.

As I've said, this website is a constant work in progress, where I'm constantly coming up with ideas and receiving ideas and suggestions from users, and I add or improve features as much as I can. Over the last week or two, I've made a few changes that are worth noting.

Changes

• Rewrote the recent activity code from the ground up. It now merges activity without issues, does so faster and more reliably. Due to this rewrite, several related bugs have been resolved and the recent activity feature is now finally working as intended (I hope).
• The progress icons beside the recent activity notices are now links to editing the game, if you are the owner of those games.

So I've been working away, adding new features as they pop into my head. With the recent addition of a 'recent activity' feed, I got a few ideas of how to improve the feature, and reduce the chances of a single user flooding their feed with repetitive information. I've implemented these ideas, as well as a few tweaks to improve the overall use of the site.

I've had a few days to fix and add a couple things, so here are the changes to Excessive Games:

• Sorting a filtered game list should now preserve the filter.
• Added a View All option to the menu, to view a users complete collection on one screen.
• Sorting and filtering now work properly while viewing a now playing list.
• Changed the header image and title font
• Altered some of the fonts on menus
• Altered some spacing of page elements
• Added additional help information on certain pages

What is Excessive Games?

I suppose you could classify this website as in "beta", as it's not complete but it's open for use to the public. It's completed enough to function properly, however there are certain features missing that need to be added before I can call it finished.
