Title: Game search oddness
Post by: InvadErGII on April 03, 2006, 09:56:15 PM
I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I was unable to find anything specific.

In a search for games to add to my collection list, I often find several games (5-10 or so) appear at the top of the list, entirely out of alphabetical or any other discernable order. The games tend to be relatively recent, but that seems to be the only thing they have in common. Has anyone else experienced this, and can anyone provide some insight on this?

If the titles have a space at the begining of the title they will throw off the alphabetical searching.
It was probably games Rick (CaptainNintendo) added to the database, since i have already corrected a few of these he did.

I can check this later today. Right now i have to get to school.

Strange ?

I know I dont hit the space key when entering games. I normally copy and paste. That might be the problem though ??? I better check and see if there is a space added to the front end.  :-[

That would make sense, cuz usually when I copy and paste pieces of text there's also usually a space in the front of the first line.

Well unless Anthony fixed the titles I added yesterday, then I dont see a space in front of the ones I added  :-/
And I added the same way I always do  ???

Yet more strangeness.

That is strange indeed, as I have added titles this way for over 6 months now. I will be sure in the future to check and see if there is a space. I guess thats what I get for slamming through them.  :-/

Stop copying pasting you lazy S.O.B. ;)

If you are going to copy paste do it right at least :-P
