  • I went through entire site and this so far what I found. I probably added few bugs that I reported before as they were not fixed yet. Here and there I also added some suggestions. I tested site by adding this mod: 
    https://beta.gamemaps.com/details/25315 
    
    • Dashboard.
    On top when hovering over My Account a menu will appear. My profile text is moved to the left. Settings text is moved to the right.
    In sections My Downloads, From My Watchlist, My Recently Commented and My Recently Rated if I hover over the mods the black panel on the bottom of the image appear with number of views, comments and likes. I can like the mod, but I cant unlike it. To unlike I have to go to the mods page and then unlike the mod.
    I reported this one before. In Most Popular and Most Played sections hovering over the name of the mods will stretch the bottom of the box. I suspect this have something to do with mods description being too long to fit the box. 
    Another bug is on the left, the name of the game slightly moves up or down when quickly hovering over each mods name. 
    Also campaigns with small size screenshots makes image thumbnail on the left smaller. For example DeadCity II Campaign can cause this.
    Perhaps this isn't a bug, but in footer there are these | signs between text. This signs are moved down a bit. 
    
    • Messages.
    Not sure if this is bug, but I send message to myself. 
    Date of the messages that was just sent is "6 hours ago" where it should be "just now". This bug is also in forum posts.
    
    • Watchlist.
    There is 20 messages in my watchlist that shows this PHP error:
    "A PHP Error was encountered
    
    Severity: Warning
    
    Message: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool
    
    Filename: pages/chunks_file_queue.php
    
    Line Number: 54"
    Each error have different Line number. This messages starts after an empty mod. This mod have no images, no version number, changelog is empty, file size is 0 KB and I cant remove it from the list. This is link to the mod: https://beta.gamemaps.com/details/12202
    
    • My content box. Files.
    In Files page categories Dev Kits, Game Patches, Games & Demos, Manuals & Guides and Other are missing in tabs. In Gallery and Guides all categories are added in tabs. 
    
    • Adding content.
    STEP 1
    This is a suggestion. The environments selecting section could be moved to tags section in STEP 3. After all selected environments are added to tags.
    
    STEP 2
    When I return after some time to finish adding mod, text in mod description is lost. Text in Features fields is restored.
    
    The following bug I encountered only once. I was on STEP 2. Description field was empty and Features fields had some text. I clicked Next. Then clicked Custom Maps in the left menu and then returned to continue adding mod. Now on STEP 2 in mod description the example text, "This is the map 'Campaign Name' for Left 4 Dead." appears as editable text, not static in the background. It fixed when I entered something in description and clicked Next.
    
    Features fields don't support spelling correction and don't have profanity filter. 
    
    STEP 4
    Bug in tags. So there is tag limitation for only 20 tags. If I choose 20 tags in System tags then I cant add User tag. So I uncheck one tag in System tags then add User tag for example "test" and click on blue button Add. This will add this tag, but will cause drop dawn list with tags to be stuck. I can click on the tag from that list and it will add that tag which makes it 21 tags. If I try to delete that 21 tag it will break tags. I cant delete any tags from System tags or User tags when clicking on gray buttons. If I uncheck two tags in System tags and then try to add new User tag it wont work. The only thing I can do is to refresh the page. This causes another bugs. Refreshing page will always clear System tags gray boxes, but the checkboxes are still marked. I can uncheck them, but sometimes I can just uncheck two or even one and repeat the bug so I can have 22 tags. Also few times checkboxes in System tags marked themselves, specially in Seasons category, which made up to 26 tags.
    
    For some reason I cant add tag "luck". Blue Add button is grayed out.
    
    Difficulty tags still have brackets and numbers.
    
    Tags gray boxes still have that x icon moved slightly to the bottom.
     
    • Editing content. Description.
    Features field don't support spelling correction and don't have profanity filter.
    
    • Media.
    If I type very long text in image description then in mods page it will cut it at some point. More about this bug in Mods page feedback below.
    
    • Tags.
    Same tag bug here like in STEP 4.
    
    • Changelog.
    I added text in Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Russian languages. After saving it red error shows up with "Changelog is required" text. This error shows up even if I include english language text. 
    Another bug related to changelog is when clicking on changelog icon, for example in mods page, changelog window opens. By doing this the entire page in the background is moving to the right. This is because slider on the right disappears.
    
    • Mods page.
    If the title of the mod is too long then text will be cut at the end and replaced with three dots. However this is not happening in Map Details box on the right. Text in Map Title expand to the right. This will also expand tags and the lines on top and bottom of the features.
    
    By clicking on changelog icon, images or video to zoom in, the entire page in the background is going to move to the right. This is because slider on the right disappears. 
    
    In Gallery tab when nothing is added there is a text "There is no 'items' available for this file. You could be the first to add one!". If you choose any of the categories that text will move up a bit. If you click on blue button "Add Image" that text will move down. Selecting categories will move text up again.
    
    In the Gallery click on one of the images. If the text under the image is too long and don't contain spaces for example "TestTest" then it doesn't wrap. This causes the arrows to disappear. If there is more than one image then you wont be able to switch to other images. Text will wrap if there are spaces for example "Test Test". 
    
    If image is marked as "NSFW / Mature Content" then censoring image will cause box to expand its size on top and bottom. Other images will do that too. 
    Another issue with "NSFW / Mature Content" is that the text "This image may contain mature content." prevents from clicking on the image. To zoom in I have to click outside of that text.
    
    After adding something to the Gallery the number in the Gallery tab doesn't update itself. I have to refresh the page to update it.
    
    I suggest to show full number of views in Map Details. Right now when number of views reach 1000 then it changes to 1K.
    
    There is bug related to file size. I uploaded 1.94 GB file and in Map Details box in Filename it shows 1.8 GB when the file size is 1.94 GB(this file size is shown in Download Manager). I know Filename stats are rounded up, but it should be 1.9 GB.
    
    Not sure if this is bug. If in comments section there are some comments and then in mod Options I disable comments section then all comments are hidden and there is a text "Comments have been disabled for this item." Perhaps it would be better if disabling comments section only prevent from further posting and current comments are visible to read.
    
    • Game page.
    If the image is marked as mature then after clicking on it to zoom in its just a black page.  
    Bug? If the image is marked as mature then it don't show text "This image may contain mature content."
    
    I added guide. Clicking on Guides on top redirects to page where there should be my guide, but there is only text "Nothing is released here yet. Be the first contributor!". Only after clicking on filter on the left my guide appear.
    
    Click on Upload on top. In Upload page there is Publishers Guidelines tab which redirects to that page and replaces Upload tab with Privacy Policy and Terms of Use tabs.
    
    • Uploader/Release update page.
    STEP 1
    Uploader states that supported file formats are .zip and .vpk, but .pdf is not included, despite being supported. There is also no information what is the file size limit, but from the tests it looks like 2044 MB is the limit.
    
    Uploading files seems to be bugged in Firefox 88.0.1. At random times uploading stop and gray blocks and green bars are stuck. The larger the file is the most likely it will stop uploading. I tried to upload 2 GB file and after around 560 MB it stopped, but when I tried to upload 15 MB it worked. I tested this in Chrome and Edge and uploader works fine. 
    
    I would suggest to change how uploader works. Right now if I add format that is not supported it will start upload and when it finish it tells that it is unsupported format. This should be switched. If the format is unsupported then tell it first.
    When uploading a file the text with the name of the uploading file is a bit lower than other text.
    
    • Download Manager.
    I uploaded a file, waited over 5 minutes to process and when I want to download it I'm redirected to white blank page with text "Invalid URL". While this happens on Beta version, on live version something strange is happening. I have three locations to choose. I can download it from VIP DOWNLOAD without a problem, but on Salt Lake City it shows 404 Not found and on Global International it shows "Code: Not found Message: File with such name does not exist". This bug fixes itself after some time, but it depends on how big the file is. Almost 2 GB took an hour or maybe even more while less than 1 KB file a couple of seconds. Since I'm VIP maybe files are uploaded first to vip server and then copied to other servers.
    
    • My content. Gallery.
    In Gallery there is no Activity button before you choose the game. It is in Files page.
    The same bug, "NSFW / Mature Content" image box expanding, occur in all tabs.
    
    • Guides.
    In Guides page there is no Activity button before you choose the game. It is in Files page.
    Guides textarea don't support profanity filter and spell correction.
    After adding Code Block the icons on the right are not aligned with the rest of the icons. 
    Image and video don't have edit icon. To change them I have to remove video or image and add them again.
    
    When removing sections a popup window appear asking if I want to delete that section. If I quickly delete another the popup window will include checkbox and text "Prevent this site from opening another window". If I check this then I cant delete guide sections. To fix this I have to clear site cache.
    
    I suggest to add Cancel button when adding a tag.
    Paragraph textarea is too small. It would be better if its three times bigger. 
    
    Paragraph and Code Block textarea have a bug. By holding dots in right bottom corner I can stretch it in all directions where it should be only up and down. Save and Cancel buttons are moving too when stretching textarea.
    
    Adding something from formatting options move text indicator to the bottom. 
    Also textarea formatting cant be undone with CTRL+Z buttons. When you type something you can. 
    Color formatting option adds only blue color. Changing hashtag numbers will change color, but it would be better if there is a color panel to choose color like when changing profile background color. 
    
    After I released a Guide I got this PHP message on top:
    "A PHP Error was encountered
    
    Severity: Warning
    
    Message: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool
    
    Filename: pages/pages_guide.php
    
    Line Number: 22"
    This bug will disappearing after a minute.
    
    In Guide Details clicking on name of the game redirects to the main Gamemaps beta page with this link https://beta.gamemaps.com/?=$state->get('game.url')?> , but it should redirect to game page for example https://beta.gamemaps.com/armada1/  
    
    Guide formatting don't create spaces. For example if I want to make space between sentences I click enter button. This spaces are removed in guide page after saving/publishing.
    
    When I click on edit icon from guide page then it redirects to Guide editor. When finish editing I can only click on Back button on bottom which redirects to Guides section not to the guide itself.
    
    • Search.
    Search functions still seems to be limited. Bug I found here is in filters on the left. If I click on one of the checkboxes it will refresh the page and thats it. It doesn't filter the content.
    Also I searched for my Guide and it didn't found it.
    
    • Account settings.
    In Mature Content there is a blue button with text "Save/Update". "/Update" text could be removed.
    Tabs on top are "Account Settings", "Profile", "Payments" and "Privacy". Clicking on "Profile" redirects to Profile Settings and remove "Payments" and "Privacy" tabs. I suggest to keep Account settings tabs hierarchy.
    
    • Shop.
    I'm not sure if this is a bug. Changing profile background color adds to background this weird pattern.
    It would also be great if the unlocked features are in the tabs next to Credits Shop tab.
    
    And found one when typing this post. When I add emoji it creates it at the end of the post not in the position of the typing indicator.

  • I discovered a bug in which notifications are duplicated in the option history and subscriptions history sections. Please rework this feature, and I will eagerly await it in the future.
    0% 0%
  • Probably I found a bug, but maybe it won't matter anymore once the beta version is officially replacing the old version later. The bug is on the notification section. If you check the notifications via the old site & read them all, & then you change to the beta version, the notifications still show there as the unread ones & still show the number of new notifications on top right of  "My Account" on the top right of the window.
    
    & then when the subscribed member updates/ uploads a mod, the number showing the new notifications on Subscription section keeps showing although the "History" & other tabs have been checked one by one. So this often makes me confused about which section I need to check to clear the highlighted number of notifications near the "My Account". Probably it would be easier to check the notification if a mini window shows any sections where the new notifications are located when the cursor is put on the highlighted number of notifications (like when mini window shows when pointing the cursor on "My Account"), & then go to the notifications when clicking the section shown on the mini window.

  • There is no indication on how many maps/levels are in a L4d2 or L4d1 campaign.  It was nice to see how many maps were in a campaign, but that is entirely missing now.  Am I supposed to just download them to find out now?  That's a gigantic missing feature.

    I actually kind of agree with this. In the old site, I usually take a look on number of maps in a campaign first before downloading. I usually take campaigns that have more than 2 maps to give me a not too short adventure to enjoy, as the number of maps are visible in the old site. It's true that probably it's not a bug, but a missing feature instead. I hope that the staff would give this feature too in the beta version.

  • I found two bugs. First is that Achievement notifications don't show up near avatar icon on top right where "My account" text was previously. I have to hover over the avatar so the dropdown list shows up and then I can see if there are Achievement notifications.
    
    Second is when you hover over that avatar icon the dropdown list shows up. If there are updates available then there is a gray circle with number. That number is not in the center of the circle. Also the color of the circle is gray not red like any other notifications.

  • I found some bugs when checking the rating of a mod (thumb up & thumb down) via beta gamemaps. I tried to rate "thumb up" on a campaign that had no "stars"/ rating yet, & waited for days on purpose to check it later, but then there's still no rating percentage on that mod till now, while on a mod that previously got reviews before review feature was disabled, the rating percentage shows like 9x.x%. I hope that the rating feature will start to show the percentage number later when beta gamemaps site completely replaces the old site.
    
    The other bug is related to the old gamemaps version, so probably it doesn't affect much as the old site is going to be replaced soon. But I think I'll just let the staff know. When clicking "Review" on a mod that disables "comment/ feedback", there's a redirect notification like "Reviews have been disabled in preparation for the new beta. Click here to use the new GameMaps Beta!", but when the "Click here" is clicked, it goes to another mod in beta gamemaps. I ever put a comment by mistake because of that & soon had to request the author of that other mod to delete my comment.

  • Hello,
    We appreciate all the feedback. I will try to touch on every recent topic above. 
    
    We are planning on evaluating the notifications and how to streamline them and make them more transparent and easier to identify and clear.
    
    We will look into brining the # of maps in a campaign setting to the beta. (As requested by kel.)
    
    @Greenhood The notifications for achievements is included in the red number count on your avatar. Opening the avatar menu will show the breakdown.  As for the grey circles, these are download related notices and also have a Grey notification count on the avatar (below the red one). 
    
    @kurochama We recently updated the rating display and maybe this resolved your request. It will now display a rating % score for each item.
    We also checked and could not duplicate the rating link situation (old site). We will be updating the review system soon (beta) which will allow users to write reviews and display their thumb rating. 
    
    Thanks for supporting GameMaps.
    Regards

  • I'm still having trouble seeing the "user replied to your comment" link because it takes me to the mod page rather than the actual comment or replied comment.

  • To the staff:
    
    I've mentioned this issue in the past, but since it still isn't fixed I'll mention it again since getting the beta bug free is the goal:  In the recently rated section, the 2nd image from left is a broken image.  It's URL is a little different than the others in that list of 4 items:  at the end of it is "members" where as the others have a number.  This is a minor issue but one that should be fixed simply because if I've got that issue other members may as well.
