Version 2.3.5 is up for the userscript people, and should arrive soon for the Chrome extension people.

This update fixes a problem where only the first 100 items in your wishlist could be shared to the wiki. Thanks to xordiw for the bug report.

Thank you. +1.

It's a pleasure.

I notice something strange with your public wishlist. GOG claims that you have 18 games but lists only 17. I wonder why that is.

Yes. There are a few upcoming games that GOG allows to put on one's wishlist (and are counted towards the total), but which GOG refuses to display on the wishlist page (guess: because their regional pricing is not yet finalised). I have one such on my list: Armello. If you look on the wiki, you will see it is displayed as an empty black box, at the end of the list.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. It was the black box on the wiki which led me to investigate - good to know what's going on. Well, there's nothing I can do on my side to make it appear on the wishlist, but I should at least be able to avoid the empty box effect with a change to the wiki code. I'll do that tomorrow.

BTW, if one accesses "https://www.gog.com/user/wishlist.json", one can get a list containing all 18 games (including Armello). MaGog uses this in its 'Get From GOG' feature. However, one may also get some extra obsolete game IDs beyond the 18 actual games, so unless one knows which game IDs are valid and which are not (as GOG and MaGog do, and perhaps BE does too), it's not necessarily more helpful.

Great - after adding Armello to my wishlist I was able to fix that "empty black box" issue. Thanks again.

The update just appeared on Chrome Web Store (link ) so Chrome users should be having their updates delivered around now. Gaze upon the brand new icon :)

Nice - that will come in handy very soon with a feature I have planned, but I don't think I'll use it for wiki sharing because I need the data rather than just the ids.

Barefoot_Monkey: New update

- Experimental feature: Press Ctrl+left/right arrow key to change to the next/previous page almost anywhere on the site where a next/previous page exists.
- Feature: Option to remove the #fragment that GOG adds to the end of the URL in the forum.

The next update will focus on being able to correctly send long wishlists (101+ items) to GOGWiki. If we're lucky, that will be ready tomorrow.

This is something I know about and plan to fix very soon. The problem is that the script reads the totals when the page loads, but the website actually shows out-of-date numbers at first and then checks for updates in the background later. I wrote this feature a long time ago - presumably notifications were all static back then. Anyway, I need to rewrite a bit of code using mutation observers and the issue should go away.
Cheers for clarifying things, for your continuous efforts, and sorry for the late reply.

Last night I was doing some housekeeping on the custom database tables on gogwiki.com, and I noticed that there was a bug in my syncing code (probably since early July) that makes inserting new users silently fail. So, to any new users who tried to share their libraries to the wiki and couldn't manage - sorry, that was my fault. It's fixed now, so please try again.

Latching onto this post to get your attention. When you have a moment, could you open your chat, please?

I noticed an unfortunate pattern lately where some people are getting stalked and taunted on the forum. I've not been too enthusiastic about adding user-blocking features in the past, but it looks like they might help more than they hurt. Here's version 2.3.6
- New feature: Foelist, which you can use to mark users you want to be cautious around. You'll see a mark on their usernames in the forum, and you can hover over their usernames to see a reminder of why you marked them. This mark can survive even if they change username.
- New feature: Automatically bury posts from users on your foelist.
Hover over someone's username to bring up that menu that GOG added recently. Below "INVITE TO FRIENDS" you now get "ADD TO FOELIST". It's quite easy to undo if you change your mind, so feel to play around with this feature.

Great feature (especially for old geezers with a failing memory, like me).

Suggested improvement: Allow one to automatically add all the people listed on the wiki's "Known Scammers" page to one's foelist (with a default comment).

Question #1: Where is one's foelist kept?

Question #2: Is there a way to edit the foe comment, short of removing and re-adding?

That's a great feature and I'll also add a question:
What happens when said user(s) change their name? Would this be able to keep track?

From the changelog:
"This mark can survive even if they change username."
