MobyReed (387) on 9/1/2023 11:18 PM · Permalink · Report
We completed August with 45,237 approved contributions, the 2nd most on record (48,800 is the current record, set in June). Thanks to all contributors and approvers, great work!
Speaking of approvers, they were given early access to an upcoming feature called MobyPro. Which adds various enhancements to the site. Including the ability to download original full resolution covers and other images, unlimited paging/results, credit roles breakdown on credit pages, game browser csv/json export, a collaboration feature, and more to come.
Approvers and prolific contributors will get MobyPro for free. Past Patrons will get it for free for a period of time. It will otherwise be available as a paid subscription. Currently we're testing it with approvers and will roll out to a group of contributors in the not too distant future!

"MobyPro: Ability to download original full resolution covers, screenshots and promo images"
For covers and screenshots I see the option to Download Original Full Size. But for promo images it's not there. For example, here the original resolution was 2560x1600 iirc.
"Added product code support to Most Wanted"
Good, but needs an option to filter by country/countries. For example, US PS2 games with missing UPC-A codes.

Would it be possible to increase the results per page for Pro?

Will unlimited paging/results still be available for those with +50 contribution points in the past year?

Sorry but unless I'm mistaken, unlimited paging/results isn't available. I have 67 points and can only get to 10000 results in the game Browser...Are you able to get over 10000 results in the Browser? (I used to get 5000 when I had no contribution points)

My mistake, I was making an assumption as I'm not yet at 50 contribution points for this year yet. I'm limited to 20 pages of 50 results (1,000 records total). The browser currently states: "Please modify your search or contribute to the database (+50 points in past year) to unlock unlimited results." Is that not the case?
As an example if you've over 50 points this URL should take you to page 25 of all games released in 1994. If you've under 50 points it takes you to page 20 with the above message: https://www.mobygames.com/game/from:1994/until:1994/sort:date/page:25/

The points seen in the emails is still out of whack of what you actually gain submitting an item.
For instance with two of my consecutive emails:
Email 1: The new game entry that you submitted on Sep 6th, 2023 has been approved. Your contribution rating has increased by 3.5 points. Your contribution rating is now 540356. Thanks for your support and contributions. -> This was for Starfield: Constellation Edition
Email 2 (the actual next one): The new game entry that you submitted on Sep 6th, 2023 has been approved. Your contribution rating has increased by 16.5 points. Your contribution rating is now 540946. Thanks for your support and contributions. -> This was for Starfield
The email says 16.5 points, but seeing what is submitted at https://www.mobygames.com/game/208288/starfield/releases/ that is incorrect. Your contribution rating is now 540946 is correct: i DID gained 590 point and the website displayed that correct.
(now suddenly i'm at 540801, cause something must have merged or something, i don't care about that, that's life)
But the fact that emails don't display the points correctly is mildly annoying (for me at least)

ERROR:
Notifications The following items that you contributed have had their approval status changed. You can view the individual items, or view all notifications. <- that link 2
The Game Pikmin 1+2 that you submitted has been changed to Approved. (view details) <- that link now goes to an error page
(both these links create an error) -> temporary glitch or?
