GAME PAGE BUG

Yesterday I made some changes to my game page =
I marked it completed
I added a download
I changed some text in the summary

Today I noticed that the download button was gone, but it had been there the previous day. I managed my game and set it as main download.

Then I noticed that some of the text in my summary was the old text (ie. saying the game was still in dev.) I just thought that maybe I hadn't updated properly...

But then I noticed that the game wasn't marked as completed, so I decided to check my notices...



Apparently some stuff I did to my game page hadn't been saved properly???
Not just hadn't been saved, but was okay, but then reversed to the older version.

hmmmm

my guess is that the save method has some bad flow when multiple changes are made. As in, you changed the status, and then when saving the description change, the session might have had the old In Progress status as its value, and thus overwrote the Completed status.

Sorry. RMN isn't the most robust system. It was cobbled together by several people in their spare time. And I haven't touched the core functionality in like 5 years.

Is everything good now?

The game page seems fine now, it was just odd that so many things I changed went back, ie. even the date. I think I updated several things separately too.
