It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Thanks Miaghstir.
I just noticed a roll over function on thread titles which means long titles no longer break format. Kinda wondering when this was implemented, i only noticed it today.
The favicon appears to have disappeared for all subforums, including the general discussion forum. It's there for every other page, including the community main page and individual threads, but in all the subforums it's gone.

It's displaying ok at my end on Chrome and IE9.

Are you on Firefox Wishbone ?

I am indeed. 3.6.23, to be precise.

Ok, thanks Wishbone.
Two things I haven't seen mentioned.
-In replies, the little arrow icon (where you can click to go to the original post) is missing. You can still click on its place and go to the appropriate post, but the icon's not there. This only affects the dark scheme.
-Many times, even though I log out, when I close the browser and then come back to GOG later, I'm already logged in. I know it's already discussed here, but I thought it would be helpful to mention it here. (For the record, I've deleted my cookies several times, and this keeps happening time and again.)

This has been discussed, but hasn't been mentioned in a long time. Did you refresh he cache too, or just the cookies? If the latter, try the former.
Thanks DrIstvaan.

That's a recurrent one, it was fixed at some point but seems to be back, the arrow is missing indeed (Chrome).

I was able to reproduce that one on Chrome just now. Clearing Chrome's cache however (all of it, not just last week's or last month's) seems to have fixed the issue for me, can't auto-login anymore even after logging in, logging out, restarting browser, etc, but i really didn't tested it for very long after wiping the cache. This one is definitely a bit of a worry, same as the other one involving the data from the login/sign_up pop ups not being cleared when the pop us are closed.
@Namur
Yeah, I think the second issue is more cause for worry, that's why I thought bringing it to the semi-official bug thread is a good idea. I see you've already posted both in the OP.

I remember it was an issue a time ago, but I recall up until now it was working fine for me; at least, I only noticed its absence a day or two ago. I've recently deleted my cache as well.

The recommended games function of the frontpage is completely broken (for me at least).

Let's be honest here... it never really worked that great . What happens now, however, makes it 100% unusable. Every single recommended game has already been bought by me or gifted to me. It's crazy. Maybe they should remove the recommended tab or rename it to "games owned".

I don't know if this bug is universal, so any other users' reports would be helpful!

I've noticed this as well (Win 7x64, Firefox 3.6.24). Only with the dark theme, though. Light theme has the arrow.

That subject has come up beofre and IIRC i think the general idea was that those are generic recommendations for everybody, and not recommendations specifically tailored for you, or me or any one user.

And yep, every game on the recommended tab right now is already on my shelf ;)

I don't think that they are generic. If you log out, for example, the recommended tab is removed. Moreover, like you noticed in your account, (now) every recommendation is already in your shelf - the same thing that happened to me. However, it's very unlikely that we have the same shelf.

Also, just for general recommendations, the two other tabs (best sellers - new releases) are enough. From my experience, this function should be personalized recommendations (as in the majority of e-shops).

Anyhow, I only posted this bug, because I am certain that the recommended tab worked in the past for me (as personalized recommendations). It was far from perfect, but at least it provided some utility.

For instance, when I bought my first games here, I chose some adventures. Hence, the recommendations started serving me only adventure games. When (some months later), I added some RPGs to my shelf, recommendations morphed into including RPGs as well.

This pattern was followed for every single other genre that was added to my library: strategy, action etc. (up until now, at least). Surely, we can argue about the effectiveness of this recommendation algorithm, but I take its function for granted.

I, just, don't know if is a unique bug or something universal. Am I the only one using these recommendations?

I'm not really sure if when this came up before someone from the sfaff actually chimed in on the subject or not confirming how the reccomendations work, mostly i remember users talking about it. In any case it certainly could do with a spruce up since recommendations for games that the users already have is a bit silly, even though, and to asnwer your question, personnaly i really don't pay any attention to the recommendations tab (or the best sellers tab for that matter)

I attached a pic with the 'recommended' tab that shows up for me at the moment.
