Question

Post by Frankie »

How long time does it take for a new Re-releaser to be added to the dropdown list?

I added the Danish distributors Dansoft, but it doesn't show up yet :(

And no, its not the same as the Dansoft already on the list who made those 128K demos in the late 80s :)

They should be renamed Dansoft [2]

and a

Dansoft [1]

should be added :)

Hi [mention]Frankie[/mention],

Due to us being a very small team, and many other things taking up our time these things can take a long, long time.

Can you link here to your original posts please, or did you do this through the upload facility? If so, when?

We can then make sure at least the request is in the list to be looked at.

I added it using the upload facility. Think I added it as Dansoft [1] if that is even allowed :-)

Got a Danish inlay for Violent Universe distributed over here by Dansoft along other games :-)

They put the Danish text on a sticker paper, and stuck that over the English text of an original inlay.

Frankie,

I can see from you:

Games Tape 3 / Gulpman - 17 April

Escape - 10 April

I can't see anything else from you, unless I'm looking in the wrong place [mention]pavero[/mention] ?

Can you go into the updates system, and you can see the requests that you have made. Just PM me the update reference and date. Thanks.

Where exactly did you add it? I can't see it anywhere. Actually there is no way how to add a re-releaser directly. :-)

There is only this form, but the SQL code must be published here in the forum. ;-)

Is it this company?

https://opencorporates.com/companies/dk/10630673

If so, I suggest adding it as "Dansoft ApS" to help distinguish from the other.

Well, I have added 'Publish' button into the form.

[mention]Frankie[/mention] You probably generated SQL code but you didn't publish it anywhere (without 'Publish' button). :)

Can’t be as it started in 87 if I understand that page right. That is to late.

Doesn’t seem to work on iPad, as nothing comes up when I type ‘Violent’ as in Violent Universe.

Will try again tomorrow, but if the right Dansoft isn’t on the dropdown list then I’ll not succeed. How do I add a totally new Distributor/Re-releaser?

Well, I don't have iPad, but probably you still have old javascripts in cache of your browser (from old version of the form).

You can select a re-releaser from the list or type in a new one. But don't forget to check 'a new re-releaser' checkbox. ;)
