[Info] Reporting problems with sites

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 01:38:35 -0400

Hello RPG Gateway users,

Are you having problems voting for a site?
Is your site missing from the RPG Gateway?
Does your site's link in the RPG Gateway go to the wrong site?
Are you having any other problem with your site?

Missing site

If your site is missing try searching for it using the Search Page. Occasionally categories are reorganised and your site may just have been moved to a more appropriate category. Best to check first before reporting the error.

Reporting problems

When reporting problems it is best to include all the details about the site that is missing. Not including enough information about your site can make the resolution take much longer.

Include the following details

Please include the following details about your site when reporting problems:

Site name
Site URL
Category the site was listed in
Category editor
ID number of the site (you can find this by hovering the mouse over your site listing on RPG Gateway or it will be in the vote code)

Thank you for your understand,
RPG Gateway Editors

[FAQ] RPG Gateway and Your Website

Wed, 28 Dec 2005 15:39:50 -0500

When will my site be in the Gateway?

First, an editor has to get to your submission. Depending on time and needs, that may take a few days. You'll get an email notice of acceptance or rejection when that happens. At this point, your site is not yet on the Gateway pages. The site pages are updated nightly, at 1:30am EST by cron task. This is also when rates and hits are recorded for the past 24 hrs (Die Roller's Top 50). Always wait about 24 hrs before complaining that your site isn't there yet.

How does a site get in the Die Roller's Top 50?

Any site in the Gateway with at least 10 votes is eligible (exception below) -- it's all the same database. The Top 50 is integrated directly into the Gateway and is a function of Rating, Votes and Hits. Sites with enough votes are sorted by (roughly) Rating then Votes then Hits, and the top 50 sites are assigned "isTop50" = "Yes." This causes three things to happen:

Duplicated site listing

Tue, 06 May 2008 09:25:35 -0400

Hello!

First of all, wish to say 'Thank you for the listing service!'

However, we are currently experiencing problems editing one of our entries on the list. This is probably because the site was added to the listing twice by two different admins of the site.

Site Resubmitted?

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 18:14:32 -0400

Hallu,
Someone appears to have resubmitted Thar Shaddin to rpggateway so that it now appears twice in the directory.

This is a new development, done on April first? Naughty prank possibly?

Double Submission

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:04:02 -0400

My apologies I submitted my site using the add site form and mispelled it, then tried to modify it and wouldn't take.

The proper site info is:
Cantina Roleplayers Guild

Double posting, my mistake

I realize I posted my solicitation for a review twice, my apologies. Please delete the older one,

Thanks

[complaint]Spirit of Die Roller's being abused

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 17:27:31 -0500

Hey there,

Is it considered fair play that the die roller's top 100 buttons at several sites can only be used to give them a rating of 5?

After taking a look at quite a bit of random sites and looking at their voting link to the Die Roller's top 100 after having found the first "abuser", I found three more, but I bet that if I dig deeper and review more sites, more will come up using this trickery on their visitors in order to gain a high rating.

Is it Possible someone could help me?

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 22:11:38 -0500

I sent the details for my site a week ago. How long does this process take to be posted on the site? I know it has to be approved and everything.

The link to my site is: http://www.tal-vorn.com

RPG Gateway in Opera/Firefox

Sun, 28 Oct 2007 13:15:39 -0400

I've been looking at the horizontal scroll on the RPG Gateway home page since I first came around here, and now I'm finally going to mention it. Here's what it looks like in Opera, which is what I use. The horizontal scroll bar is still there in Firefox, although the page isn't 2 feet wide. I broke out that crappy IE just now, and of course it looks perfect in that.

Ive reported various sites in the palladium games section and subsections as 404. Im posting this here because that section doesnt have an editor.

Curious about my Gateway Link

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:43:45 -0400

Hi there,
I recently sent in a request to update my link. Now, when you browse through all the different categories for "campaign builders," "world builders," etc to find my link, I get all the old info, seen here:

Modify the listing

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:29:08 -0400

Every time we try to update our listing, it always returns an error stating that the listing does not belong in the database ????????? ........... It does because the listing is part of the die rollers 100 votes for the site get tallied.
