mrkgnao: Seems resolved now (for me).
It seems indeed. Though I'm now on Pale Moon on which the front page also works properly. Need to recheck Firefox.

Some downloader directories which I think are not quite right or inconsistent within the game series. They are mostly there for ages:

black mirror series:
- the_black_mirror
- black_mirror_ii
make up your mind!


Blackwell Series:
- episode_1_the_blackwell_legacy
- episode_2_blackwell_unbound
- episode_3_blackwell_convergence
- episode_4_blackwell_deception
- blackwell_epiphany_the


Wallace & Grommit (now chopped up into its episodes):
- episode_1_fright_of_the_bumblebees
- episode_2_the_last_resort
- episode_3_muzzled
- episode_4_the_bogey_man


Deponia series:
- deponia
- deponia_2_chaos_on_deponia
- goodbye_deponia <----

Tex Murphy Series
- missing 3 on overseer, 4 on pandora directive, wrong base name with "tesla_effect_a_tex_murphy_adventure"


Heroes of Might & Magic series:
- heroes_of_might_and_magic_v
- heroes_of_might_and_magic_v_tribes_of_the_east
there
HOMM 1-4 are numberd with arabic numerals, not roman letters.



I also have severaly _dlc directories which are empty, though I bougt the DLC, they are instead downloaded into gamename/dlc/gamename_dlc/, for example:
- divinity_dragon_commander , its dlc is in divinity_dragon_commander/dlc/divinity_dragon_commander_dlc/
- divinity_dragon_commander_dlc <- empty

- tales_of_majeyal, its dlc is in tales_of_majeyal/dlc/tales_of_majeyal_ashes_of_urhrok
- tales_of_majeyal_ashes_of_urhrok <-- empty

Ultima games
- ultima_1
- ultima_2
- ultima_3
- ultima_4
- ultima_8_gold_edition
- ultima_9_ascension
- ultima_iv
- ultima_vi
- ultima_vii_serpent_isle
- ultima_vii_the_black_gate_the_forge_of_virtue
mixture of roman numbering and arabic numbers.

- Wing Commander series:
- wing_commander
- wing_commander_3_heart_of_the_tiger
- wing_commander_4_the_price_of_freedom
- wing_commander_5_prophecy
- wing_commander_ii
should be called wing_commander_2 to be consistent...

ok will try to suggest some more decent directories names than the ones actually used by the downloader.

Resolved: 017 - ** - [04/29/2015] Clicking on someone's PM button...

The issue is gone meanwhile. GOG support doesn't know what caused it, but Web-Team seems to have fixed it.

HypersomniacLive: Since the start of the latest Star War Promo, whenever I log out and am redirected to the front page, the Account tab is not visible in the nave bar. Anyone else has this?
Wow, people log out of GOG? Why on Earth would anyone want to do that? :)

The "what did just break?" thread

I have no idea, but it is times like these that I am glad I don't have a daughter.

In my case, GOG puts itself into an inconsistent state every time I restart my browser where the header bar is logged in but the page content itself acts logged out.

Normally, I'd just go through the login dialog two or three times and, eventually, it'll actually stick but, after the latest Star Wars promo, I had to actually choose "logout" and then log back in to make it work.

Yes, I experience the same problem too as do many. Another problem I have experienced for 6+ months is complete inability to post to the forums using the Firefox web browser despite all sorts of troubleshooting/sleuthing, trying new profiles, sterile installation, no extensions/addons etc. What is bizarre about that is that it does not seem to happen for everyone and while my standard Firefox installation is rather unique and could potentially cause such problems, my sterile installation/testing is basically just that. I more or less threw it in the "oddity/anomaly" pile and have been using Chrome on gog.com to work around the issue... but... oddly enough I just *accidentally* posted a message in the forums using Firefox without realizing it and it worked. I can only assume there was some obscure problem on GOG's end that has resolved itself randomly as they make developmental churn on the site. Either way I hope that is fixed now, and I hope the issue you speak of gets fixed too. My gut instinct is that the problem is somehow related to the mixed-mode of the entire GOG web properties being partially SSL-enabled and partially non-SSL as that is how the problem acts like and visiting an SSL-enabled part of the site then switching back to the homepage seems to resolve the issue not just for me but for many folks. Oddly I never encounter this problem in Chrome, so I must assume that most if not all of GOG developers use Chrome as their primary browser. :) Whether or not that is true I have no idea but I'm stickin to it. :)

I'm just wondering what the little heart symbol with the number zero next to it, in the upper-right hand corner.

Presumably some mind-numbing fake "friends" counter coming soon.

I really don't get why people find it so surprising. Why wouldn't I want to do that? I don't stay logged in anywhere and I absolutely hate those pre-ticked "remember me" boxes. In GOG's case in particular, it's a pretty good way to check if and what broke since the last time I was on.

Could you post a screenshot, please?

Be sure of course to not mistake my faux surprise with genuine surprise. :) What's funny though is I actually find it more stable staying logged in all the time than having to go through the hoops often encountered after logging out and restarting the browser. :)

Like HSL, I too would appreciate a screenshot, for your eyes are apparently better than mine.

Police Quest: SWAT series
Police Quest - SWAT -> police_quest_swat
Police Quest - SWAT 2 -> police_quest_swat_2
SWAT 3: Tactical Game of the Year Edition -> swat_3_tactical_game_of_the_year_edition

Dunno if that counts, but the series itself dropped the "Police Quest".
